Operating and Maintenance Advice
a)
First Usage
If the electrode was disconnected from the device, pull off the protection flask and expose the electrode at least 2 - 3 hours to
the air before the first calibration or measuring.
a) When to replace battery:
If
and ´bAt´ is shown in the lower display the battery has been used up and needs to be replaced. The device
will, however, operate correctly for a certain time.
If ´bAt´ is shown in the upper display the voltage is too low to operate the device; the battery has been completely
used up.
Please note: The battery has to be taken out, when storing device above 50°C.
We recommend to take out battery if device is not used for a longer period of time.
b) Treat device and sensor carefully and use it only in accordance with its specifications (do not throw, hit against
etc.). Protect plug and socket from soiling.
c) Make sure to use only sensors that are suitable for the device. Unsuitable measuring probes may lead to the de-
struction of the measuring device and the measuring probes.
d) When connecting the electrode the connector may not lock to the jack correctly. In such a case hold the connector
not at the case but at the buckling protection of the cable during the plug in.
Don't connect electrode canted! If plug is entered correctly, it will slide in smoothly.
To disconnect sensor do not pull at the cable but at the plug
e) Mains operation:
When using a power supply device please note that operating voltage has to be 10.5 to 12 V DC.
Do not apply overvoltage!! Cheap 12V-power supply devices often have excessive no-load voltage. Therefore,
we recommend using regulated voltage power supply devices. Using the power supply device GNG10/3000 en-
sures trouble-free operation.
Prior to connecting the power supply device to the mains supply make sure that the operating voltage stated at
the power supply device is identical to the mains voltage.

Safety Requirements
This device has been designed and tested in accordance with the safety regulations for electronic devices.
However, its trouble-free operation and reliability cannot be guaranteed unless the standard safety measures and
special safety advises given in this manual will be adhered to when using the device.
1. Trouble-free operation and reliability of the device can only be guaranteed if the device is not subjected to any
other climatic conditions than those stated under "Specifications".
2. If the device is transported from a cold to a warm environment condensation may cause in a failure of the func-
tion. In such a case make sure the device temperature has adjusted to the ambient temperature before trying a
new start-up.
3. If device is to be connected to other devices (e.g. via serial interface) the circuitry has to be designed most care-
fully. Internal connection in third party devices (e.g. connection GND with earth) may result in not-permissible
voltages impairing or destroying the device or another device connected.
Warning:
If device is operated with a defective mains power supply (short circuit from mains voltage to output
voltage) this may result in hazardous voltages at the device (e.g. sensor socket, serial interface).
4. If there is a risk whatsoever involved in running it, the device has to be switched off immediately and to be
marked accordingly to avoid re-starting.
Operator safety may be a risk if:
- there is visible damage to the device
- the device is not working as specified
- the device has been stored under unsuitable conditions for a longer time.
In case of doubt, please return device to manufacturer for repair or maintenance.
5.
Warning:
Do not use these products as safety or emergency stop devices or in any other application where failure
of the product could result in personal injury or material damage.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury and material damage.
6. This device only serves as monitoring of systems important for the customer.
It must not be used instead of compulsory approval monitoring devices and it is not planned for that pur-
pose. If this device is used for the monitoring of such systems on its own, the manufacturer will not as-
sume liability for damages whatsoever.
