4.1.1 Special notes on use
•
If the device is brought into the work-room from
a cold environment there is a risk that conden-
sation might form on the electronics. You are
advised therefore to wait until the device has
adjusted to the ambient temperature before
starting to use it.
•
Be sure to observe the maximum load capacity
of the sensor power supply.
•
Do not run sensor lines in the vicinity of high-
voltage power cables.
•
Sensors with integrated power supply are not
electrically isolated from one another.
4.1.2 Handling batteries / rechargeable
batteries correctly
When inserting batteries / rechargeable
batteries ensure that these are correctly
polarized.
If the device will probably not be needed
for a relatively long period of time or if
the batteries are empty remove the bat-
teries; this will prevent battery acid spill-
ing on and damaging the device.
Rechargeable batteries should be re-
charged as and when necessary.
You should never attempt to recharge an
ordinary (non-rechargeable) battery; it
may explode!
Batteries / rechargeable batteries must
never be short-circuited or thrown on the
fire.
Batteries / rechargeable batteries are
special waste and must not be discarded
together with normal domestic waste.
