The
Receiver and X Transmitter are both ruggedly constructed
and resistant to damage from shock Nonetheless they should be
handled with care as should all electronic instruments To prevent
exposing the receiver to excessive shock the operator should avoid
striking objects with the pointer antenna or chassis body Likewise the
receiver should not be intentionally dropped from any distance onto a
hard surface Also avoid piling very heavy articles on top of the
receiver It is always best to return the receiver to its storage case
when you are done using it
Although the X Transmitter Case is very rugged one should always
refrain from throwing or dropping it Keep the latch covers closed at
all times while the Triad system is not in use

Both the
Receiver and X Transmitter are water
resistant
not
water
proof
Therefore neither instrument should be submerged in
water although they can be used in wet conditions
Also although the circuitry is rated to operate from to – °F to
°F
extreme temperatures are not ideal conditions for usage It is
preferable to operate the Triad Locating System in conditions ranging
from several degrees below freezing ( °F) to about
°F

As an absolute range the Triad System may be stored in temperatures
ranging from –
°F to
°F That is storing the system in
temperature conditions outside this range may irreparably damage the
product Also the system may be stored in relative humidity
conditions up to
(non condensing)
However just as there are recommended usage conditions so also
there are desirable storage conditions Ideally the product should be
stored in a cool dry place (freezing to
°F low humidity)
The user should also understand that storing the system in extreme
conditions is also not desirable from an operating viewpoint For
instance suppose the system is stored in the trunk of the vehicle on a
very hot day The temperature inside the trunk could easily reach over
°F Although the product will not be damaged by these conditions
it also will not operate properly right out of the trunk The reason is
that
°F exceeds the operating temperature of the product In fact
the circuitry has built in protection to prevent it from activating in a
dangerously overheated condition The user will have to allow the
product to cool down to the ambient temperature before using it
Therefore it is better to store the product within the operating
temperature range in the first place
