Never perform measurements using hazardous materials
• Heating materials which would present a risk of explosion or combustion, or materials which could give off
noxious fumes when heated, is extremely dangerous and this instrument should never be used with any such
materials. The same also applies to the use of any materials which might cause hazardous chemical reactions to
take place when heated.
• When heating materials that would first dry along the surface, and then allow the internal pressure to rise
excessively, there is a danger that heating such materials could cause them to rupture. Such materials should
never be measured, as doing so could be dangerous.
• If any materials being measured ignites, immediately remove the power plug from its socket and take appropriate
measures to extinguish the fire.
• Never place any easily flammable objects near the product.
• The components of the infrared moisture tester can become very hot when measurements are being taken or
immediately after measurements have been taken. This heat could cause objects or materials to catch fire if
they were to come into contact with the unit. No easily flammable objects or materials should be kept near the
product.
• Never place any objects which might easily be damaged by heat near the unit, as doing so might result in
deformation or damage to the objects in question.
• No objects should ever be placed upon the heater.
• If you see fire coming from the unit or notice smoke, an odd smell, or any other sign of abnormal functioning,
remove the power plug from its socket, and take whatever other steps would be appropriate to deal with the
problem.
Notes on using the control keys
• Never turn on the power to the unit while holding down any of the control keys.
• Never press any keys other than those directed or press two or more keys together at the same time unless
directed to do so.
• When there is any danger that the unit might be damaged by lightning, remove the power plug from its socket.
Stopping operation
• The [
Start/Stop
] key can be pressed at any time during operation to halt operation. If you suspect for any reason
that the product is not operating properly or that there is any sort of danger, immediately press the [
Start/Stop
]
key to halt operation.
Setup and storage
• Avoid using or storing the unit in a location where it would be exposed to excessively high or low temperatures,
high levels of humidity, direct sunlight, electromagnetic interference, corrosive gases, or large amounts of dust.
• Place the unit on a flat and stable surface where it will not be subjected to significant vibration during use.
• When moving the unit, never tilt it any more than necessary.
• Take care never to drop or bump the unit or otherwise allow it to be subjected to strong shocks or the application
of excessive force.
• When removing the power cord or RS-232C interface cable, never pull on the cord or cable and instead, hold the
plug or cable connector when removing.
• When the unit is not to be used over an extended period of time, remove the power plug from its socket.
• Use the supplied power cord and make sure to connect to the protective earth.
