Approvals

Instruments with approvals can have different technical specifications depending on the version.
For that reason the associated approval documents of these instruments have to be carefully 

noted. They are part of the delivery or can be downloaded under www.vega.com, "

VEGA Tools

and "

Instrument search

" as well as in the general download area.

3)

  A suitable cable is required for maintaining the protection rating.
