CONSTRUCTION
The instrument is housed in a tough impact resistant
moulded case.
The case material is carbon filled polycarbonate to reduce
static risk and remove interference from radio or other
equipment.
The top surface of the instrument is covered with stainless
steel escutcheons which are marked with the necessary
basic operating instructions.
These plates provide additional impact resistance and
provide tough wear surfaces for everyday use.
Protection for the display is by toughened glass to prevent
impact damage and the display itself is mounted on a shock
absorbing mounting to prevent damage.
The instrument is sealed against dust and water ingress
to IP54 and the use of plastic mouldings and stainless
steel fastenings provide high corrosion resistance.
Additional markings and labelling are moulded into the case
as necessary.
A detachable carrying strap is provided which can be varied
in length and used as a neck sling or hand carrying handle.
Instrument operation is by sealed push-buttons on the
instrument top plate.
The instrument is ATEX certified without any additional
outer case.
