2.5 Disposal of Hazardous Material
This instrument uses a 3V lithium cell to power a Real Time Clock. It is placed in a holder and can be replaced by
qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved.
2.6 GNSS Antenna Installation
This instrument is equipped with GNSS receiver which requires GNSS antenna input. This input should be
connected properly and safely to the external GNSS antenna.
WARNING:
Disposal of lithium cells requires special attention. Do not expose them to heat or to excessive
pressure, which may cause the cells to explode. Make sure they are recycled according to local
regulations.
WARNING:
For permanent installation, the GNSS antenna and associated cables require an EMP Protector to be
fitted for safety reasons. The EMP Protector should be professionally fitted as per the
manufacturer’s instructions. These instructions come with the EMP Protector.
Observe all local regulations on the fitting, grounding and specification of lightning or surge
arrestors on the antenna cable.
Disconnect or switch off in-line equipment when installing, checking, disconnecting and connecting
EMP protectors. This includes also the exchange of gas discharge tubes. Keep back from such
activities during thunderstorms. Be aware that only a complete protection system according to IEC
62305-1 can protect your equipment and personnel against the impact of lightning.
This includes an external lightning protection system with air terminal, down conductor and
grounding system and bonding of all incoming and outgoing lines (e.g. protectors for mains, data
and telephone lines) - not RF lines only.
With gas discharge tube protectors take care that the GDT has been properly installed before
putting the equipment into operation.
