PRECAUTIONS 

 

Only operate the case as described in this manual. 

This manual assumes that the manuals for each individual instrument and 
accessories have been read. Read this manual in full before using your 
equipment. 

The charge in the batteries supplied with your  KA018 can cause severe injury 
even death if misused.  Take extreme care not to short  the battery terminals 
with any conductive objects.  During operation, always ensure the Air Tight Valve 
on the Front of your KA018 Case is not tightly fastened. 

Leave your KA018 kit to temperature adjust for at least 2 Hours when 
transferring use from a cold environment to warmer. 

Turn OFF the Isolation Switch to prevent discharge of the batteries in the KA018 
if it is not in use. 

Do not let any conductive objects, such as wire or metal scraps get into the unit. 

Care should be taken when closing the case lid to ensure that no cables are 
trapped as this will damage the cables. 

Do not try to disassemble the control box, wiring or attempt any repairs as this 
may cause injury and will invalidate your warranty. Take a note of the condition of 
the case and contact your authorised Castle service station if a problem arises. 

Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents on the case. Use only a soft dry cloth 
or a soft cloth lightly moistened with water when necessary. 

To ensure continued precision performance of your instrument have it checked 
and serviced at regular intervals. It is recommended that the case be sent when 
instruments are returned for calibration.  

As this kit is heavy, please take care whilst lifting and transporting.
