2. Handling
Be careful with glass dome when handling instruments. Strong impact to this part may damage the
glass and may cause injuries by broken glass parts.
When carrying any MS-80 model with the sunscreen attached, always hold the instrument from the
bottom. Holding only the sunscreen part may lead to dropping the sensor as it comes off from the
sunscreen.
3. Power Supply (MS-80A/MS-80M)
Make sure to ground the grounding cable on the power supply cable. When grounding is
insufficient, it may cause not only measurement error due to noise, but also cause electric shock
and leakage accidents.
Check the voltage and types (AC or DC) of specified power supply before connecting this
instrument. When improper power supply is connected, it may cause malfunction and/or accident.
Use this instrument with 0.5A fuse connected to the power supply line in series. Without
connecting the fuse, it has risks of generating heat and fire due to large-current flowing by the
power supply when internal damage on the electronics will occurs.
