Special notes on use
4.1 Special notes on use
•
If the device is brought into the work-room from a cold environment
there is a risk that condensation might form on the electronics. In mea-
suring operations involving thermocouples pronounced changes in
temperature may cause substantial measuring errors. You are advised
therefore, before starting to use the device, to wait until it has adjusted
to the ambient temperature.
•
Before using the mains adapter make sure that the mains voltage is
suitable.
•
Be sure to observe the maximum load capacity of the sensor power
supply.
•
Sensors with their own integrated power supply are not electrically iso-
lated from one another.
4.2 Handling batteries / rechargeable batteries correctly
When inserting batteries / rechargeable batteries ensure that the
polarity is correct.
If the device will probably not be needed for a relatively long pe-
riod of time or if the batteries are empty, the batteries should be
removed; this will prevent battery acid leaking onto the device
and damaging it.
Rechargeable batteries should be recharged as and when nec-
essary.
You should never attempt to recharge an ordinary (non-
rechargeable) battery; it may explode.
Batteries / rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited
or thrown onto the fire.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries are special waste and must
not be discarded as normal domestic waste.
