Safety switches and lid locking 

The lid has a locking mechanism to ensure that it cannot be opened during 
measurements. The mechanism is designed so that two solenoids will lock 
the lid before the measurement is started. However, there is no specific 
control to ensure that the locking mechanism functions properly. Therefore, 
besides the locking mechanism, additional protection is needed. The 
purpose of the locking mechanism is mainly to prevent the user from 
opening the lid during measurement and destroying the measuring results.
