Precautions
Magnetic Fields
Avoid nearby magnetic fields. The SunEye is a sensitive measurement device. Magnetic fields
from nearby iron can affect measurements and stronger magnetic fields may damage the Sun-
Eye. Always store and transport SunEye in the included magnetically shielded case to preserve
the compass calibration. Never store magnetized objects, such as hand tools or other magnetized
objects, in the case.
Temperature
Do not operate or subject the SunEye to temperatures beyond the published operating and stor-
age temperature specifications found in “Maintenance and Troubleshooting” of the User Guide
and in the Quick Start Guide.
Moisture
Exposure to rain or condensation may damage the SunEye. Do not expose to rain. Condensation
will occur on the case whenever the dew point exceeds the case temperature. This can occur if
moving the SunEye from a cold outside environment into a warm office environment. Store the
SunEye in its protective case whenever not in use to protect and insulate the instrument.
Dirt and Dust
A precision optical fisheye lens is a key element of the SunEye. Protect from dust and dirt. Keep
lens cap on when stored between uses. Clean lens regularly with soft lens cleaning cloth.
