to DIN EN 61 010 Part 1, 2002, Safety requirements for

electrical measuring, control and lab equipment, and

was technically in perfectly safe and faultless condition

In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe

information before putting the instrument into operation.

A Attention:

The USM 35X is an instrument for materials testing.

Any use for medical applications or other purposes

is not allowed!

ronments!

The USM 35X is waterproof according to IP 66. The

USM 35X can be operated with batteries or a power

Batteries

For the battery operation of the USM 35X, we recom-

mend the use of a lithium-ion battery. The operation

using alkaline batteries, NiMH or NiCad cells is likewise

possible. You should only use the products recom-

mended by us for the battery operation.

You can charge the lithium-ion battery within the instru-

ment itself or in an external battery charger. If you want

to use NiMH or NiCad cells, you have to charge them in

an external battery charger.

As soon as you connect the power supply unit to the

USM 35X, the battery power supply is interrupted. If a

lithium-ion battery is inserted, the charging process

starts automatically when you connect the instrument

to the mains supply. Please refer to chapter 3.1 on

power supply, and to chapter 7 on how to handle

batteries.
