Environment
The instrument should be operated in a clean, dry environment with an ambient
temperature of between 0 °C and +40 °C.
The instrument is specified for use in a Pollution Degree II environment, which
is normally nonconductive 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.
Humidity should be between 0 % and 80 %. When moving the device from a
cold to a warm environment the equipment has to be left turned off for a period
of 30 minutes to avoid short circuits by condensation.
Note
Direct sunlight, radiators and other heat sources should be taken into account
when assessing the ambient temperature.
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 circuit boards.
Do not drop, knock or shake the equipment. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean
the instrument. To clean the instrument, disconnect all power sources and clean
the housing with a soft, slightly damped (not wet!) cloth.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the safety of any accessories, such
