1.5 Guarantee
Each device is subjected to a 24-hour "burn-in" before leaving imc. This procedure is capable of
recognizing almost all cases of early failure. This does not, however, guarantee that a component will not
fail after longer operation. Therefore, all imc devices are guaranteed to function properly for two years.
The condition for this guarantee is that no alterations or modifications have been made to the device by
the customer.
Unauthorized intervention in the device renders the guarantee null and void.
1.6 Before starting
Condensation may form on the circuit boards when the device is moved from a cold environment to a
warm one. In these situations, always wait until the device warms up to room temperature and is
completely dry before turning it on. The acclimatization period should take about 2 hours. This is
especially recommended for devices without ET (extended environmental temperature range).
We recommend a warm-up phase of at least 30 min prior to measure.
Existing ventilation slits must be kept unimpeded to avoid heat buildup in the device interior.
The devices have been designed for use in clean and dry environments. It is not to be operated in 1)
exceedingly dusty and/ or wet environments, 2) in environments where danger of explosion exists nor 3)
in environments containing aggressive chemical agents.
