Safety notes
This device has been built and tested in accordance with the safety
regulations for electrical instruments. Please observe the generally applicable
safety precautions and the device-specific safety notes in these operating
instructions.
Do not operate the instrument with a faulty power supply!
In such a case, hazardous voltages may appear on the terminals of the
instrument.
If it appears that the instrument can no longer be operated without hazard, then
it must be put out of action and labeled to prevent it being used again.
The instrument should then be returned to the manufacturer for repair.
Do not use this instrument in safety or emergency stop installations, or in
applications where a malfunction of the device could lead to injury to
personnel or significant material damage!
Please do not attach any equipment to socket 20, see Chapter 2.5
“Connections”, page 9 !
Correct functioning and operational reliability of the instrument will only be
assured when the permissible climatic conditions are observed (see Chapter 9
“Technical data”, page 30).
If the instrument is moved from a cold environment into warm surroundings,
then this may lead to condensation within the instrument. In this case, wait until
the instrument temperature has adjusted to the temperature of the
surroundings before proceeding with commissioning. Otherwise the
functioning of the instrument may be impaired.
For operation from the electrical supply, use only regulated power supplies
with an output voltage of 10.5 to 12 V.
If a sensor or sensor cable is faulty, or the sockets on the instrument are dirty
or damp, then the hand-held meter will display incorrect values!
