Installation: Pointek CLS500
Handling Electrodes
Notes:
• Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with
local governing regulations.
• This product is susceptible to electrostatic discharge. Follow proper grounding
procedures.
WARNINGS:
• Disconnect the device before any welding is carried out in the vicinity
of the instrument.
• Provide protection when the solid state switch is activating an
external relay to prevent possible switch/relay damage resulting from
inductive spikes generated by the relay coil. (See
WARNINGS:
• Do not scratch or gouge the PFA electrode insulation since this could
reduce the integrity of the insulation and the useful life of the
electrode.
• Do not damage the insulating sleeve on the electrode during shipping,
packing, and installation
1
. Any damage to the electrode can prevent
proper performance.
• (ATEX 95): Precautions MUST be taken to avoid ignition due to
hazardous electrostatic discharges:
a. where an isolated probe is used in gas, vapor, or a non-
conductive liquid that is potentially explosive, requiring
apparatus group IIC equipment
b. where the probe is used in a potentially explosive dusty
atmosphere
1.
Most electrodes use PFA insulation, a very dense and reliable type of Teflon®
that prevents leakage and corrosion of the metal electrode and acts as an
insulator when conductive materials are being measured.
