Handling Procedure:
1. Power to unit must be removed.
2. Personnel must be grounded, via a wrist strap or other safe, suitable means before any printed circuit card or other
internal device is installed, removed or adjusted.

removed from protective enclosure until immediately before installation. Removed boards must immediately be
placed in protective container for transport, storage or return to factory.
Comments
This instrument is not unique in its content of ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive components. Most modern electronic
designs contain components that utilize metal oxide technology (CMOS, etc.). Experience has proven that even small
amounts of static electricity can damage or destroy these devices. Damaged components, even though they appear to
function properly, exhibit early failure or degraded performance.
Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)
All pressure equipment with an internal pressure greater than 0,5 bar (g) and a size larger than 25mm or 1” (inch) falls
under the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). The Directive is applicable within the European Economic Area (EU
plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). Pressure equipment can be traded freely within this area once the PED has
been complied with.
** Appendix 1 of this manual contains important safety and operating instructions related to the PED directive
** Meters decribed in this manual are in compliance with EN directive 97/ 23/EC module H Conformity Assessment.
** All Brooks Instrument owmeters falls under Fluid-group I
** Meters larger then 25mm or 1” (inch) are in compliance with category I, II or III of the PED.
** Meters of 25mm or 1” (inch) or smaller are Sound Engineering Practice (SEP).
This instrument contains electronic components that are susceptible to damage by static electricity. Proper
handling procedures must be observed during removal, installation or other handling of internal circuit
boards or devices
