  • Page 16: Chemical Warnings

    The MonoExact DF310E/DF150E analyzer may be attached to equipment that is hot. Always wear the appropriate PPE to minimize the risk of burns. This symbol warns of specific hazards due to hazardous substances which, if not taken into account, may result in personal injury or death. This symbol warns of specific hazards due to caustic or corrosive substances which, if not taken into account, may result in personal injury or death.
  • Page 17: Electrical Warnings

    Electrical warnings Always observe the appropriate electrical safety codes and regulations. Make sure that the electrical installation of the analyzer conforms with all applicable local and national electrical safety requirements. Potentially hazardous AC voltages are present within this instrument. Leave all internal servicing to qualified personnel. Disconnect the AC power source before installing or removing any external connections.
  • Page 18 To provide an acceptable noise environment for the MonoExact DF310E/DF150E analyzer or other digital equipment in the proximity of switching inductive loads, Servomex recommends that you place varistors across the inductors to lessen high voltage spikes that occur during transitions. Circuitry activated by relay contacts should allow for the contact bounce.
  • Page 19 Do not connect any cables carrying mains voltage or cables that have inadequate insulation between line and mains to any of the I/O connectors. Earth / ground connections. These are screw terminals used to connect the ground shields of cables plugged into the nearby connectors.
  • Page 20: Installation And Set-Up

    Installation and set-up Do not attempt to install, commission, maintain or use the MonoExact DF310E/DF150E analyzer unless you have been trained or are an experienced instrument technician.
