normally non-conductive with temporary light condensation, but it must not be
operated while condensation is present. It should not be used in more hostile,
dustyorwetconditions,asspeciedinthePollutionDegreeIIenvironment.
Humidity should be between 0% and 80%. When moving the device from a cold to a
warm environment, the device has to be left off for a period of 30 minutes to avoid
short circuits as a result of condensation.
Direct sunlight, radiators and other heat sources should be taken into account when
assessing the ambient temperature.
If the instrument has a fan installed, leave space around the equipment for unre-
stricted ventilation.
Do not store the equipment in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices and damage batteries.
Do not store the equipment in cold areas. Before the equipment warms up to its
normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the equipment, which may
damage the equipment’s electronic circuits.
Do not drop, knock or shake the equipment. Rough handling can break internal
electronics and/or PCBs.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the
instrument. To clean the instrument, disconnect all power sources and clean the
housing with a soft, slightly damped (not wet!) cloth.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the safety of any accessories used with
the instrument, such as probes.
