Volume 2 

Danger of explosion when opening the housing in an explosive 

atmosphere!

Please wait 30 minutes after you have turned off the power supply 
before you open the housing. The cooling-off time of 30 minutes 

ensures that possibly overheated components have enough time to 
cool off and cannot ignite the explosive atmosphere.

Improper repair work may lead to a loss of the explosion protec-
tion.

Working with the Uni-Probe in areas in danger of explosion is not 

permitted if:

–

the screwed cable glands are corroded

–

the screw thread on the cover is corroded

–

dummy plugs are heavily corroded

–

the Uni-Probe housing is heavily corroded

–

the Uni-Probe housing is damaged

–

the Uni-Probe housing has received a mechanical blow, e.g. by 

dropping it on the floor.

Any cleaning of corroded screw threads on the cover, on the 
screwed cable glands or the 3/4" conduits using abrasives or a wire 

brush is not permitted.

If non-alloy steel comes in contact with a stainless steel surface, 
the surface may corrode at this point. Therefore, make sure that 

neither during the installation nor during operation other metal 
parts made of non-alloy steel come in touch with the housing sur-
face of the Uni-Probe.

If in doubt, please return the complete Uni-Probe to BERTHOLD 
TECHNOLOGIES for repair.

ESD protective measures

This measuring system uses electrostatic sensitive 
devices.We recommend that you wear an ESD wrist strap 

during installation or repair work. Connect this wrist strap 
to the ground conductor.

When you open the instrument:

 Please take precautions 

when working with printed circuit boards (ESD). Dis-
charge yourself before touching the components by 
touching a grounding point.

Maintenance

Use only fuses that match the rating specified by BERTHOLD 
TECHNOLOGIES.

A visual inspection of the Uni-Probe has to be carried out at least 
every third year. Please use the visual inspection schedule on 
page 2–216. Take appropriate steps as soon as you discover any 

defects during visual inspection; if necessary, separate the device 
from power immediately.

To determine the inspection intervals, please take the following 

issues into consideration:
