This device is not appropriate for safety, emergency stop or other critical applications where device
malfunction or failure could cause injury to human beings.
1.2.2 Intended Use
The EE260 is intended for the humidity (RH) and temperature (T) measurement in meteorology. It is
compatible with rotation symmetric radiation shields (available as accessory HA010511). By means of
a mounting clip (accessory HA010227) the EE260 can be pole/wall mounted, e.g. for deployment in
weather huts / Stevenson screens.
The use of the EE260 in any other way than described in this manual bears a safety risk for people and
the entire measurement installation and is therefore not allowed.
The manufacturer cannot be hold responsible for damages as a result of incorrect handling, installation,
and maintenance of the equipment.
In order to avoid damage to the instrument or health hazards, the measuring equipment must never be
manipulated with tools that are not specifically described in this manual.
The sensor may only be utilized in accordance with the conditions defined in the technical data.
Otherwise, measurement inaccuracies will occur and equipment failures cannot be ruled out.
