Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere, for example, when flammable
gases or fumes are present. Operation of electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a safety hazard.
WARNING!
If ice or snow accumulates on the mast, guy wires, or sensors, the ice or
snow can fall and cause injury to persons below.
WARNING!
Do not substitute parts or modify the system, or install unsuitable parts in
the system. Improper modification can damage the product or lead to malfunction.
WARNING!
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings
elsewhere in these instructions violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and
intended use of the product. Vaisala assumes no liability for the customer's failure to
comply with these requirements.
WARNING!
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Vaisala, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
WARNING!
Do not damage or change the wiring. Incorrect wiring can cause damage
and prevent or limit operation.
CAUTION!
2.4.1 ESD protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic circuits. Vaisala products are
adequately protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage
the product by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any
objects in the equipment housing.
To avoid delivering high static voltages to the product:
• Handle ESD
‑
sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD
workbench or by grounding yourself to the equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a
resistive connection cord.
• If you are unable to take either precaution, touch a conductive part of the equipment
chassis with your other hand before touching ESD
‑
sensitive components.
• Hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching component contacts.
