General Safety Precautions
The bbe BenthoTorch is an instrument for determination of the concentration of chlorophyll on surfacees or on
the ground of a water body. It should only be used for this purpose.
Only instructed staff should operate this instrument.
Consult appropriate safety manual in case of using hazardous compounds and solutions. Wear gloves, coat and
safety goggles.
Electrical connection of the instrument should only be carried out by trained staff.
The instrument should only be opened by authorised staff.
Changes to electrical connections and circuits may cause damage to the instrument and lead to loss of warranty.
Cleaning the instrument:
The instrument should be cleaned after use. The use of aggressive cleaning fluids or water at high pressure
should be avoided. Neither should any mechanical cleaners or apparatus come into contact with the sensor
head or LED display. Attention: in order to obtain exact measurement results, the measuring head should be
free from grease.
Before stowing the instruments should be cleaned of dirt under running water. If necessary, normal,
commercially available washing up liquid can be used. Rub the instrument dry with a soft cloth and take care
when drying the electrical contacts.
The simplest way to store the instrument for any length of time is in its original case, in which the accessories
can also be stored and kept dry.
