Only  use  an  approved  power  adapter  —  12  V  3  A 
output,  center  positive.  Do  NOT  use  the  plug-pack 
transformers  supplied  with  previous  instrument 
versions.  Doing  so  will  damage  these  transformers.  
The  cover  over  the  comms  and  charger  connectors 
provides  an  essential  seal.  The  cover  must  be  in  place 
whenever  you  use  the  instrument  in  an  industrial 
environment.  Failure  to  comply  with  this 
requirement  might  void  your  warranty.  IP65  rating 
only  applies  while  the  cover  is  securely  in  place. 
Transfer  information  stored  in  the  instrument  to  a  PC 
before  reprogramming  (PROFLASHING)  the  instrument 
with  new  firmware.  PROFLASHING  the  instrument  will 
delete  all  stored  information. 
To  obtain  accurate  measurements,  ensure  the  drive 
current  is  switched  on  when  using  an  IEPE/ICP®-type 
accelerometer. 
Mount  the  sensor  correctly  before  taking 
measurements.  This  will  ensure  your  readings  are 
accurate  and  consistent. 
Use  a  mild  detergent  diluted  with  warm  water  to 
clean  your  instrument.  Do  NOT  use  abrasive  or 
polishing  substances,  hydrocarbons,  petrochemicals, 
or  solvents,  as  these  will  degrade  the  plastic  casing. 
Do  NOT  place  the  instrument  or  magnetic  mounting 
base  where  the  temperature  might  exceed  140°F 
(60°C).  This  will  degrade  the  battery  pack  and  magnet. 
If  your  instrument  malfunctions,  return  it  to  an 
authorized  dealer.  Do  NOT  attempt  to  repair  the 
instrument  yourself  as  this  will  void  your  warranty.
