Heed Warnings Follow Instructions: Follow all warnings on the analyzer, accessories (if any) and in this Owner’s
Manual. Observe all precautions and operating instructions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to
the analyzer.
Heat: Situate and store the analyzer away from sources of heat.
Liquid and Object Entry: The analyzer should not be immersed in any liquid. Care should be taken so that liquids
are not spilled into and objects do not fall into the inside of the analyzer.
Handling: Do not use force when using the connectors, switches and knobs. Before moving your analyzer be sure to
disconnect the wiring/power cord and any cables connected to the output terminals located on the analyzer.
Maintenance
Serviceability: Except for replacing the oxygen sensor, there are no parts inside the transmitter for the operator to
service.
Only trained personnel with the authorization of their supervisor should conduct maintenance.
Oxygen Sensor: DO NOT open the sensor. The sensor contains a corrosive liquid electrolyte that could be harmful if
touched or ingested, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet contained in the Owner’s Manual appendix. Avoid contact
with any liquid or crystal type powder in or around the sensor or sensor housing, as either could be a form of
electrolyte. Leaking sensors should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Troubleshooting: Consult the guidelines in Section 8 for advice on the common operating errors before concluding
that your transmitter is faulty. Do not attempt to service the transmitter beyond those means described in this Owner’s
Manual.
Do not attempt to make repairs by yourself as this will void the warranty as per Section 10 and may result in electrical
shock, injury or damage. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
Cleaning: The transmitter should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. Wipe off dust and dirt from
the outside of the unit with a soft damp cloth then dry immediately. Do not use solvents or chemicals.
Non-use Periods: Turn the power OFF when the analyzer is left unused for a long period of time.
