Fitting Instructions

 

 

1.

 

Insert instrument into the IS protective cover ensuring that the 

probe tip exits through the small slit at the top of the cover and 
that the cover labelling and stickers are on the reverse of the 

instrument. 

 
 

2.

 

Seal the cover at its base and lay the instrument on a flat 

surface with the label and stickers facing upwards. 

 
 

3.

 

Peel off the backing to the large section of double-sided tape in 

the middle of the instrument. 

 
 

 

4.

 

Gather the excess plastic on one side of the instrument and stick it 

on the midway point of the double-sided tape. 

 
 
 

5.

 

 Gather the excess plastic on the other side of the instrument and 
stick it to the remainder of the double-sided tape. 

 
 
 

6.

 

Now remove the backing from one of the small pieces of tape and 
secure it to the side of the instrument. 

 

 
 

7.

 

Remove the final piece of backing and secure it to the other side of the 

instrument. 

 

8.

 

The instrument is now ready to use in Category 1 (zone 0) areas and in 
applications where it is likely to get wet or contaminated.
