Hydromette BL Compact S 

0.4  Safety Instructions 

This measuring instrument conforms to the EN 61326-1: 2006-05 
standard and fulfils the requirements of applicable European and 
national directives. Appropriate declarations and documentation are 
located with the manufacturer. The user must read these opera ting 
instructions  in  order  to  guarantee  problem -free  instrument 
operation and operational safety. The measuring instrument may 
only  be  operated  under  the  specified  climatic conditions. These 
conditions can be found in Section 3.1 "Specifications". In addition, 
this  measuring  instrument  may  only  be  operated  under  the 
conditions and for the purpose it was designed for. The operational 
safety and functionality are no longer guaranteed if the instrument 
is  modified  or  converted.  Gann  Mess -  u.  Regeltechnik  GmbH 
assumes no liability for any ensuing damage. All risks are assumed 
solely by the user. 

 

The  instrument  may  not  be  stored  or  operated  in 
aggressive  atmospheres  or  atmospheres  containing 
solvents! 

 

 

Static electricity

 - At low wood humidities, below approx. 

12%  and  low  air  humidity  (especially  in  the  winter 
months), high-voltage static electricity charges may build 
up,  favoured  by  external  influences  (friction  during 
material  transport,  high environmental insulation value), 
which  may  not  only  lead  to  strong  fluctuations  in  the 
measured  data  or  negative  values,  but  also  to  the 
destruction  of  electrical  components  in  the  instrument. 
Even  the  instrument  operator  may 

—  inadvertently  — 

contribute to the build up of a static charge by the clothing 
worn. A considerable improvement can be achieved if the 
operator  and  the  instrument  are  absolutely  still  during 
measuring, as well as by earthing (contact with conducting 
metal, water or heating pipes, etc.).
