Provide equipment, such as eye wash stations and safety showers, as close to the instrument as
possible.
CAUTION
• Avoid dust or corrosive gas
To ensure a long service life of the instrument and preserve its performance levels, avoid installing it in
places subject to large amounts of dust or corrosive gas.
• Keep away from equipment generating strong magnetic fields
To ensure proper operation, do not install the instrument in places subject to strong magnetic fields.
If the power supply line is subject to high electrical noise, install a surge protector.
