Operating and Maintenance Instructions 

8.1

 

Prohibitions on Use 

 

The system should not be used: 

•

 

for medical diagnostics 

•

 

in potentially explosive environments 

•

 

with hazardous substances (corrosive, flammable) 

•

 

with hot liquids (> 60°C) 

The area of use is defined by the technical parameters specified in Chapter 9.1. 

 

8.2

 

Description of Use 

8.2.1

 

User Groups

 

 

 

The 

fluidlab 

R-300 has been designed to ensure intuitive operation.  This measuring 

system is intended for professional users, such as laboratory assistants, doctors and 
scientists (physicists, biologists, chemists, engineers etc.) 

 

8.2.2

 

User Expertise 

 

Operating the 

fluidlab 

R-300 does not require any specialised knowledge. The owner 

of the device should designate users who, based on their training, know how to operate 
electrical  measuring  systems.  Users  should  have  basic  language  skills  in  English,  in 
order to be able to understand the messages and program texts. 
The 

fluidlab 

R-300 has been designed in such a way that no special product training is 

required to operate it. 

 

8.2.3

 

Service Life 

 

The 

fluidlab 

R-300 is suitable for 24/7 use. Portable use is limited by the battery life. 

The 24/7 operating mode requires the external power supply unit to be connected. If 
the battery is low (20% remaining capacity), the battery icon on the user interface menu 
bar of the 

fluidlab 

R-300 will turn red. If you see these indications, you should connect 

the device to the power supply unit and charge the battery. If no charging takes place, 
the device will shut down automatically when the remaining battery capacity falls to 
5%.  

The system’s service life is determined to a large extent by th

e battery life. Under ideal 

conditions with the system being used as intended, 300-500 charging cycles would be 
standard for the built-in battery. Assuming a service life of 5 years, this corresponds to 
one charge per week. 
 

 

Warning!

 

The device may only be charged and operated using the supplied power supply unit 
described  in  the  specifications  (Chapter 9.2).  If  the  power  supply  unit  fails,  a 
replacement power supply unit should be requested from the manufacturer.
