Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the
document.
This instrument is rated for an altitude of 3100 m (10,710 ft) maximum. Use of this instrument at an
altitude higher than 3100 m can slightly increase the potential for the electrical insulation to break
down, which can result in an electric shock hazard. The manufacturer recommends that users with
concerns contact technical support.
