General Information
1) Care of the chek-mate Flowmeter
•
Use only the specified disposable or rechargeable battery types.
•
Ensure that discharged batteries are not left in the battery compartment for long periods
to prevent damage caused by electrolyte leakage.
•
Avoid extended use of the flowmeter in areas with high levels of airborne particulates.
An external inlet filter (not SKC supply) can be used with the chek-mate flowmeter if
this cannot be avoided. Any filter used should have high collection efficiency (collect the
majority of all dust particles) and low back pressure.
•
Ensure that fluids do not enter the flowmeter inlet or outlet ports.
•
If the flowmeter has been stored in a cold location and is immediately taken to a hot,
humid location, do not use the flowmeter until it has stabilised to the higher ambient
temperature to prevent condensation forming inside the flowmeter.
•
The flow meter case is IP40 rated: it is not rated as waterproof or splashproof and,
therefore, must not be used where it is possible for water to enter the casing.
•
There are no user serviceable parts within chek-mate flowmeter. Opening of the chek-
mate case will void the product warranty and could affect the instrument calibration. An
anti-tamper warning label is fitted to the case which will identify that the case has opened.
Warning - Failure to follow these guidelines will void the product warranty.
