Environment
The instrument should be operated in a clean, dry environment with an ambient
temperature between 0 °C and +40 °C.
The instrument is specified for use in a Pollution Degree II environment, which
is normally non
-
conductive with temporary light condensation, but it must not
be operated while condensation is present. It should not be used in more
hostile, dusty or wet conditions, as specified in the Pollution Degree II
environment.
Humidity should be between 0% and 80%. When moving the device from a cold

If the instrument has a fan installed, leave space around the equipment for
unrestricted ventilation.
Do not store the equipment in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life
of electronic devices and damage batteries.
Do not store the equipment in cold areas. When the equipment warms up to its
normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the equipment, which
may damage the equipment
’
s electronic circuits.
Do not drop, knock or shake the equipment. Rough handling can break internal
electronics and/or PCB's.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean
