Warranty 

 

 

This equipment is warranted for 3 years against any defect of materials or 
workmanship, in accordance with the general terms of sale. During the 
warranty period, the instrument may be repaired only by the manufacturer, who 
reserves the right to repair the instrument or to replace it or part of it. If the 
equipment is returned to the manufacturer, the cost of transport to the 
manufacturer is borne by the customer. 

 

The 

warranty

 does not apply following: 

 

improper use of the equipment or use in association with incompatible 

 equipment 

 

modification of the equipment without the explicit permission of the 

  manufacturer's technical staff 

 

maintenance done by a person not approved by the manufacturer  

 

adaptation to a particular application not anticipated in the definition of the 

  equipment or by the user manual  

 

a shock, a fall, or flooding. 

 

Maintenance, 
metrological 
verification 

 

 

 

 

Before opening the instrument, you must disconnect it from line power and 
from the measurement circuits and make sure that you are not charged with 
static electricity, which might destroy internal components. An adjustment, 
maintenance, or repair of the live instrument must be undertaken only by 
personnel who are qualified and have familiarized themselves with the 
directions in this manual.  
  
This instrument should be checked at least once a year. For checking and 
calibration, contact one of our accredited metrology laboratories (information 
and contact details available on request), at our Chauvin Arnoux subsidiary or 
the branch in your country.  

 

Unpacking,         
repacking 

 

All of the equipment has undergone mechanical and electrical checks before 
being dispatched. When you receive it, carry out a quick check to detect any 
deterioration that may have occurred during transport. Should the need arise, 
immediately contact our sales department and notify the carrier of the customary 
reservations. 
Use the original packaging to reship the equipment, if possible. Indicate as 
clearly as possible, by a note attached to the equipment, the reasons for the 
transfer. 
 

Repair  
under warranty and  
post warranty 
 

For all repairs before or after expiry of warranty, please return the device to your 
distributor.
