NOTE:  
Schiltknecht anemometers do not form part of the ATEX certification of the  
Gas Data GFM series. Contact Gas Data for further advice on the safe use of  
these probes.  

 

Operating Instructions 

These operating instructions are intended to ensure that the Schiltknecht measuring 
instrument and probe remain perfectly serviceable, guaranteeing fault-free and safe  
operation. We therefore ask you to read these instructions carefully before placing  
the instrument in operation for the first time.  

Immediately after unpacking the instrument, please check for any mechanical  
damage. Any damage detected should be immediately reported to the relevant post 
office or to the carrier at your company's location.  

Avoid moisture, extreme temperatures and vibrations. 

Do not shake! 

Cleaning of probes and indication unit only according cleaning instruction!  

Strong electromagnetic interference (e.g. transformers, radio transmitting 
equipment) may affect the accuracy of the measuring instrument.  

Important notes  

Every Schiltknecht instrument has a designed operating range. The transducers  
have been developed and produced for this envisaged operating range. The  
calibration corresponds to the actual state at the moment measurements are made. 

It is influenced by incorrect handling and in the course of the period of use. 

It must be ensured that the instrument is operated only by trained personnel the 
instrument is regularly serviced and calibrated no changes are made to the  
instrument except those described in the operating instructions.
