CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
IF THIS EQUIPMENT IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE
DESIGN OF THIS EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED.
NO OPERATOR SERVICABLE PARTS. THIS INSTRUMENT SHALL BE SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
THE SENSOR ENCLOSURE MAY ONLY BE OPENED BY CUTTING THE LOCK WIRE USED TO SECURE THE LATCHES. LOCK WIRE
MUST BE REINSTALLED AFTER SERVICING AND SEALING THE ENCLOSURE TO ENSURE CONTINUED SAFETY OF THE PRODUCT.
THIS INSTRUMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE PROTECTIVE GROUNDING WIRES. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS INSTRUMENT IS
BATTERY OPERATED, AND MAY BE MOVED FROM LOCATION TO LOCATION, IT SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO
PROVIDE APPROPRIATE GROUNDING OF THIS DEVICE WHEN LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE THIS MAY BE REQUIRED. CONSULT
LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND NORMATIVE REGULATIONS FOR APPROPRIATE GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS.
THE SENSOR HOUSING CONTAINS A PRESSURIZED IONIZATION CHAMBER WITH HIGH INTERNAL
PRESSURE AND HIGH VOLTAGE (~400 VDC) ON ITS SURFACE WHEN POWER IS APPLIED. REMOVAL OF
CHAMBER FROM ITS PROTECTIVE HOUSING OR MISHANDLING COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL BATTERY AND INTERNAL CIRCUITS, DO NOT CONNECT A SOLAR PANEL AND BATTERY
CHARGER SIMULTANEOUSLY.
THE (OPTIONAL) INTERNAL BATTERY USED IN THIS INSTRUMENT IS A SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERY AND SHALL ONLY BE
REPLACED WITH AN IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE FROM GE REUTER STOKES. USE OF ANY OTHER BATTERY MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CHARGING UNIT OR THE INSTRUMENT
