NOTE:
The unit should only be serviced by trained personnel.
WARNING:
Removal of electronic module covers or connectors while the unit is powered will expose the
operator to potentially hazardous voltages and risk damage to the sensor.
The SkyVUE 8M has electrical and laser warning labels on the exterior and interior of the unit.
It is recommended that the hood and access panel door are not opened in conditions of rain,
hail or snow.
Isolate the sensor before removing internal components, including the cover to the avalanche
photodiode (APD) module. Only trained personnel should disassemble the instrument.
Power connectors are shrouded to prevent touching of the contacts. The power supply should be
isolated when connecting and disconnecting the cables to the sensor.
The SkyVUE 8M must be properly grounded by a licensed and qualified electrician to protect
against voltage leakage shock risk (
Campbell Scientific recommends that RCD protection units be used with all sensors. See
(p. 20) for further information.
Heaters are enclosed to prevent contact.
CAUTION:
When powered, the heaters may operate automatically and without warning. They may
remain hot when not powered. Follow the isolation precautions, to avoid shock and burn
hazards.
