Chapter 01

 

Notes on Safety and Use, Maintenance and Service 

1.1 Safety notes  

Please note the instructions and warnings contained in these operating instructions. 

This device is built and tested according to EN 61010-1 (protective measures for electronic measuring instruments). 

Important!

 

This device may only be powered with the power cable originally delivered from the factory. 

The device is in perfect working order upon leaving the factory. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe 
operation, the user must check the device and the power cord regularly for damage. A damaged power cord must be 
replaced immediately. 

The device has protection class IP20 in accordance with EN 60529. 

Discharges across the plug connector can damage the device. Protect the device from electrostatic discharge when 
handling and operating it. 

The maximum external voltage that van be applied to the measuring receiver’s RF input is 24 V. A higher voltage may 
destroy the input circuits. 

Do not cover the ventilation slots on the device. Covering the slots can result in reduced air circulation in the device, 
which can cause heat build-up and overheating of the electronic components. 

Passage from the battery regulations (BattV)

 

This device contains a battery which incorporates hazardous substances. It must not be disposed of I 
domestic waste. At the end of its working life it should be disposed of only through the ESC customer 
service department or at a designated collection point. 

1.2  Usage Notes 

The guarantee for a new device ends 24 months after delivery. 

The guarantee is invalidated if the device is opened. 

Sharp tools (e.g. a screwdriver) can damage the plastic glass in front of the TFT display, thus destroying the TFT. 

The contrast of the TFT display deteriorates at ambient temperatures below 5 °C. 

The TFT display does not reach maximum brightness for a few seconds after the device is cold-started.  

The device reaches full measurement accuracy after about 5 minutes of operation. 

The use of wireless DECT phones and GSM phones close to the device can cause disturbances and faulty 
measurements.
