Do not operate the gauge in temperatures outside of the specified range.
Do not install the gauge near high temperature surfaces or objects which may cause it to
overheat.
Operation of the gauge outside the specified temperature range may result in degraded
measurement accuracy, malfunction or damage to the gauge.
Protect from impact
The gauge contains delicate optical and electronic assemblies and must never be dropped or
struck by other objects.
The gauge must be securely mounted by its base to prevent toppling.
Measured objects threaded through the optical gate cavity must be secured against contact
with the optical windows or catching upon the gauge body. For cable production line
applications, Proton Products can supply optional adjustable cable guides for securing the
passage of a cable through the optical gate cavity.
Do not open or disassemble
The gauge contains no user serviceable components.
Loosening the gauge screws or removing its cover will invalidate the product warranty.
Periodic maintenance
The physical condition of the gauge, optional CDI4 interface display unit and connecting
cables should be checked periodically; if any damage is suspected, then the unit should be
taken out of service for inspection and repair or replacement of damaged parts.
Optical windows
Do not allow smoke, water, steam, dust or other debris to come into contact with any of the
optical windows.
Obstruction of the optical windows may degrade measurement accuracy or inhibit
measurement.
If any optical window appears to be damaged or misaligned, then the unit should be taken out
of service for repair.
If any optical window requires cleaning, then refer to the cleaning procedure detailed in this
manual to minimise the risk of scratching the windows.
