NOTES TO USERS
WARNING
This equipment is not constructed for classified (hazardous) environment. It cannot
be used where it will be exposed to ignitable or corrosive materials and gases.
CAUTION
This equipment is intended for use in electrostatic processes that are free from water, oil,
solvent and other conductive contaminants. Exposure to such contaminants will cause
failure of the electrical insulation system in the product. Special care should be taken to
ensure that there is no dew formation. This equipment should be stored or used in a place
having less than 60 %RH.
Do not insert any object in the opening for the sensor located at the measuring side of the
instrument; no foreign substance should ever enter into the sensor opening.
This equipment should not be operated in an ambient with corrosive fumes of acid/alkali
or corrosive gases such as chlorine.
This equipment is battery operated, do not connect with any other utility line. The normal
operating conditions are indicated on its nameplate. When not in use, please switch off the
instrument.
This equipment must have proper grounding for accurate measurement.
This equipment is likely to be damaged if dropped. In such an event, it should be carefully
examined and any necessary repairs be made by an authorized technician. This is an
electronic instrument and contains sensor that is sensitive to mechanical vibrations and
shock. As it also contains a microcomputer chip and electronic circuitry, it should not be
used in an environment where there is a lot of electromagnetic noise.
Suspend measurement when the voltage reading is outside the measuring range. If the
range is exceeded, there is a possibility of damaging the sensor.
It is possible to use this product in ionized air. However, normally specified accuracy of
10 % cannot be guaranteed in this case.
Do not exert any pressure on the LCD display from the top.
The instrument has been calibrated for a measuring distance of 25±0.5 mm. This
calibration is not valid outside this distance. Do not tamper with the sensor location and
the guiding LEDs for that could alter the measuring distance.
The equipment was assembled and inspected at Simco Japan, Inc. Do not attempt to
disassemble or modify its construction. If you are not clear about its operation and
maintenance, call Simco Japan's authorized agent in your area.
