NOTE:
The dark area in the battery indicator display is
not proportional to the remaining energy.
Replacement Procedure
The battery compartment on the back side of the
fieldmeter has a removable cover marked OPEN. Be
careful while connecting or disconnecting the battery.
To avoid breaking the contacts, do not pull the
connection plug hard.
1. Press down on OPEN and slide the cover down.
2. Remove the old battery (if present).
3. Connect the new battery and insert it into the battery
compartment.
4. Reattach the cover back to the battery compartment.
Before closing the cover, make sure that no parts of the
leads are outside the battery compartment
.
Saftey Instructions
•
DANGER
indicates an immediately hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
•
WARNING
indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
•
CAUTION
indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in property damage.
•
NOTE
indicates precautions necessary to avoid
potential equipment failure.
This equipment must be installed and maintained as
outlined in this manual. This equipment is not
constructed for classified (hazardous) environments. It
cannot be used where it will be exposed to ignitable or
corrosive materials.
The
19430
is intended for use in areas that are free of
water, oil, solvents and other conductive
contaminants. Exposure to such contaminants will
cause failure of the electrical insulation system in the
product. Formulation of dew on the fieldmeter must be
avoided.
Do not operate near corrosive fumes of acid/alkali or
corrosive gases such as chlorine. The
19430
must be
properly grounded to function accurately.
The
19430
contains a microcomputer chip. It should not
be used in an environment with excessive
electromagnetic noise. The internal parts of the
19430
should never come in contact with foreign
substances.
The
19430
has been calibrated for a measuring
distance of 1”± 1/64" (25mm ±0.5mm).
Important Notes and Cautions
1. Store and use the fieldmeter in a clean and dry
environment. Foreign substances should never enter
or touch the internal parts.
2. Vibration and impact may damage and/or affect the
sensitivity of measurement of the instrument.
3. Do not attempt to disassemble the fieldmeter.
4. The measuring distance between the fieldmeter and
a test object should be 1" ± 1/64" (25mm ± 1mm).
The calibration was carried out at this distance. The
specified accuracy is valid for this distance.
5. Grounding of the instrument is essential for accurate
ion balance measurements
6. To maintain the high insulation level of insulation of
the plate, the
19430
should be stored in a place
having less than 60 %RH. It should be kept inside a
plastic zipper bag with desiccant.
7. This fieldmeter is not an explosion-proof product. Do
not use this product in flammable atmosphere such
as paint-thinner, benzene, gasoline, propane, natural
gas etc.
8. The instrument should be re-calibrated once a year.
Contact Desco Customer Service when a
recalibration of the fieldmeter is necessary.

Battery Replacement
The Digital Static Locator uses 9 V, 6F22Y Manganese
battery. The life of the battery is about 30 hours. When
the POWER switch is on, a battery charge indicator
displays the state of the battery on the front panel.
