Precautions 

DANGER 

 MANY HAZARDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH INSTALLING, USING, MAINTAINING, AND WORKING ON OR 

NEAR ROADS, RIVERS, WATER BODIES, ELEVATED PLATFORMS, REMOTE LOCATIONS AND OTHER SIMILAR HAZARDS.  
You are responsible for conformance with governing codes and regulations, including safety regulations, and the 
integrity and location of sites. Installation sites should be evaluated and approved by a qualified engineer. Prior to 
performing site or installation work, obtain required approvals and permits. Comply with all governing permits and 
use only qualified personnel. The use of licensed and qualified contractors is highly recommended. Read all 
applicable instructions carefully and understand procedures thoroughly before beginning work. Wear all relevant 
personal protective equipment, including a hardhat and eye protection, and take other appropriate safety 
precautions while working.  You can be killed or sustain serious bodily injury if the system you are installing, 
constructing, using, or maintaining, or a tool, stake, or anchor, come in contact with overhead or underground utility 
lines.  Prior to performing site or installation work, inform all utility companies and have all underground utilities 
marked. Comply with all electrical codes. Electrical equipment and related grounding devices should be installed by a 
licensed and qualified electrician. Protect all equipment from over-voltage, water and electrostatic discharge.  Do 
not perform any work in inclement weather, including wind, rain, snow, lightning, etc. Periodically (at least yearly) 
check for wear and damage, including corrosion, stress cracks, frayed cables, loose clamps, fastener tightness, 
electrical ground connections, etc. and take necessary corrective actions. While every attempt is made to embody 
the highest degree of safety in all Measurement Science products, the customer assumes all risk from any injury 
resulting from improper installation, use or maintenance of these products.  The Manufacturer recommends a level 
of calibration appropriate to the application, and recommends, at a minimum, recalibration every three years
