1.2. PRECAUTIONS
•
Do not place the unit near strong magnetic or electric fields (motors, transformers, solenoid
valves, etc.)
•
One of the most frequent causes for technical support intervention is due to internal short circuits
due to foreign bodies, even very small ones, which enter the unit despite all of the precautions
taken to prevent this from happening. It is therefore recommended, especially when joining
coaxial cables, not to do this in the immediate vicinity of the unit because even very small pieces
of the mesh shielding could penetrate the unit and cause occasional short circuits which are not
easily detected by technical support engineers.
1.3. MAINTENANCE
The only interventions allowed concern battery replacement
Opening the instrument and any operations must be done exclusively by qualified personnel or by
personnel with basic electro-technical and electrical safety knowledge.
•
For the units equipped with a battery remember the notes included in section 1.1.
•
Use suitable measures to prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges. Do not touch circuits
inside the unit without first applying the dedicated antistatic bracelet.
•
To clean the external parts:
Use soft cloths and dampen them if necessary. Do not use aggressive liquid detergents and
avoid using hydrocarbon-based substances.
Do not allow liquids or other substances to penetrate inside the unit.
1.4. NOTES
•
Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks. If the instrument is transported in a vehicle,
place it on a non-rigid support in order to avoid strong vibrations.
•
Before using the unit carefully read the instructions contained in this user manual.
•
It is strongly recommended to regularly perform (at least annually) a periodic operational test of
the instrument, accompanied by any necessary calibration operations.
