1. Safety
Carefully read this manual before using the SDT340 TankTest. To prevent death or injury risks and
severe damage to the unit and its accessories, use only as specified in this manual. Otherwise, the
protection provided by the instrument might be impaired. Make sure that all instructions are fully
understood and observed.
To avoid personal injury:
• Do not use if damaged.
• Use caution around rotating equipment and keep cords and straps contained.
• Select a safe location for the sensor and proceed with utmost care during its mounting when
taking readings on exposed rotating parts.
• Do not operate around explosive gas, vapor, and dust or in damp or wet environments.
• Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or national authorities
• Do not used the SDT340 in hazardous environments (ATEX environment). Please refer to the
SDT270A (Ex proof version) and its marking before considering these restricted areas in the
field.
• Never look directly to the laser beam. Never point the laser beam at a person's eye. Do not
aim the laser at specular reflection surfaces. Never look the laser using an optical instrument.
The power supply is designed to operate at ambient temperature between 0 °C to 60 °C (32 °F to +140
°F) up to 90% relative humidity, no condensation. Its storage temperature is between -20 °C to +85 °C
(-4 °F to +185 °F). The power supply should never be operated or even stored at places listed below,
because this could lead to operating failures:
• Places heavily exposed to moisture or where water condensing may occur.
• Places subject to constant vibrations or to high temperature fluctuations.
• Outdoors.
2. Caution
Do not disassemble the instrument, the sensors, the battery, the battery docking station, and the
battery power supply. Do not attempt internal alterations. Do not attempt any repairs. Potential
damages will not be covered by the Lifetime Warranty. Contact SDT Ultrasound Solutions or an SDT
Authorized Service Provider.
The permissible ambient temperature range for the operation of the SDT340 is -15 °C to +60 °C (5 °F
to 140 °F). Relative humidity must be less than 90%, non-condensing.
Due to the typical self-discharge rate of NiMH batteries, it is recommended to charge the battery at
least every 3 months, using only the provided charger pack. It is recommended not to store an
uncharged/unused battery for more than a few weeks. This would considerably reduce its lifespan.
The SDT 340 is equipped with a class 2 laser: risk of eye injury
• Never look directly to the laser beam
• Never point the laser beam at a person’ eye
• Do not aim the laser at specular reflective surfaces
• Never view the laser using an optical instrument
