3. General Precautions – Please Read Before Use
•
Before turning on the instrument, carefully read the instructions contained in this
manual.
•
Carefully follow the installation and operation procedures.
•
Respect safety warnings on the instrument and in this manual.
•
The Ectane 3 should only be used by qualified personnel.
•
When carrying the Ectane 3, it is the user’s responsibility to make sure that the
safety precautions used are in accordance with the local department of
transportation’s (or equivalent governing body) rules and regulations.
•
The electrical plug shall only be inserted in a power outlet providing a protective
earth contact. You must not negate the protective action by using an extension
cord (power cable) without a protective conductor (grounding). Grounding one
conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not sufficient protection.
•
The instrument must only be connected to a power source corresponding to the type
indicated on the rating plate.
•
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Eddyfi Technologies, the
protection provided on the equipment may be rendered ineffective.
•
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications to the
instrument.
•
Service instructions, when applicable, are for trained service personnel only. To avoid
dangerous electric shock, do not perform any service unless qualified to do so.
•
When using an Ectane® 3 with some highly sensitive probes, it is possible that some
high intensity electromagnetic phenomena (e.g., voltage arcs from welding
machines, electrical transients created by commuting high power inductive loads,
and so on) create visible disturbances observable in the acquired data. Since
probes are electromagnetic-sensitive devices and are intended to receive and
amplify low intensity electromagnetic fields, it is normally expected that high
intensity external electromagnetic disturbances would be observable on the screen.

Technologies, or an authorized Eddyfi Technologies representative.
