OPERATING &
MAINTENANCE TIPS
When the
icon appears on the top
line of the display, it’s time to replace the
batteries that power the instrument
(although measurements will remain valid
for several hours after the icon first
appears). To replace the batteries, follow the
instructions on page 8.
To prevent dust and moisture from
degrading the performance of the humidity
and temperature sensors, after each
measurement session rotate the sensor
protection cap to close its three vents.
Do not operate the EP8711P in the
presence of a flammable or explosive gas or
near an arc welder or induction heater.
After subjecting the unit to a large change
in ambient temperature, wait at least
30 minutes before making measurements
to guarantee the accuracy of readings.
Remove the batteries when storing the unit
or when you do not expect to use it for an
extended period of time (months rather
than weeks).
Do not drop or disassemble the EP8711P or
immerse it in water.
