General Safety Advice and Warning Hints
•
Never cut, damage or modify the connection cables of the power pack and do not place things on
it.
•
Never touch the power pack with wet or moist hands. Only connect the power pack to power
supplies for which it is suited (see technical data).
•
Unplug the mains cable during a thunderstorm, or if you determine smoke or smell, or if the
mains cable is damaged.
•
Assure sufficient grounding of your installations. Inadequate grounding may lead to measuring
peaks.
1.2
Hints for the use of the MultiSystem
•
Never expose the instrument to excessive heat or moisture; obtain the technical data.
•
Do not store the instrument in humid or dusty locations or at temperatures below freezing point.
•
Never dip the instrument into water or other liquids. Never let liquids come into the instrument.
•
Never open the instrument and do not use it, after it fell down or the housing is damaged.
•
Avoid strong magnetic fields. Keep distance of electric motors or other instruments that generate
electro-magnetic fields. Strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions and influence measuring
values.
•
Avoid the formation of condensed water. If condensed water has formated you should let the in-
strument acclimate before you switch it on. Otherwise it could be damaged.
1.3
Hints for the use of sensors and cables
•
Protect the sensors from exceeding the allowed power range, mechnical overload and wrong pin
assignment.
•
Assure to enter the sensor parameters correctly when using sensors without ISDS (Intelligent
Sensor Detection System).
•
The measuring cables MK 01 and MKS may not be lengthened. Otherwise the shielding will be
interrupted.
•
The data of an ISDS sensor are read into the measuring instrument during switch-on procedure.
If you connect new sensors, you will have to switch the instrument off and on.
1.4
Hints for the use of batteries
•
Keep batteries away from heat sources and open fire.
•
Never dip batteries into water.
•
Never short-circuit the contacts of batteries.
•
Never dismount, repair or modify batteries.
•
Use only batteries that are mounted or delivered by Hydrotechnik.
•
Load only the battery while it is mounted in the instrument.
•
Used batteries are special waste. Cover the contacts with insulation tape.
1.5
Hints for the connection of printers
The measuring instrument supports printers with USB interface. Because of the great variets of
printers in the market, it is not possible to support all of them. Additionally, the basic USB specifica-
tions are not fuliflled and maintained completely by all manufacturers. This is why Hydrotechnik
guarantees the full support of the printer "PIXMA iP 4200" of Canon Inc., only. Please ask our cus-
tomer service, whether your printer is supported.
