PRECAUTIONS
x
Always have the function switch in the
off
position with the adapter disconnected when
servicing the instrument or changing the sensor module.
x
Allow at least 1-4 hours warm-up for functionality testing and 24 hours warm-up for
operational use.
x
Read all instructions in this manual.
x
Keep instrument dry. Never let water or other liquids into the sensor.
x
Do not drop the instrument or subject it to continuous vibration.
x
Do not store in high levels of dust.
x
Do not clean the instrument with cleaning chemicals or solvents. Clean it with a damp
cloth.
x
Do not operate near heavy aerosols (spray) usage or where oxygen is being
administered.
x
Call a qualified electrician if you have any doubts about voltages, currents, electrical
practice, etc.
x
Do not operate the instrument or rely on its readings where there are high concentrations
of:
-
Chlorine or other halogen compounds
- Sulfur compounds
- Strong VOCs such as solvent vapors.
- Silicone compounds such as RTV.
- Urine residues and ammonia compounds
- Acid gases such as sulfuric acid or nitric acid fumes.
x
Keep at least a meter above fruit in food storage applications to avoid the negative
influence of ethylene ripening agent emitting from the fruit.
When in doubt, operate the instrument in your worst case conditions for at least 24 hours to see if
it will operate properly.
