5. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS & CARE OF YOUR METER
The SSI is housed in a tough ABS case and is mechanically rugged. The LCD display is
protected by a clear Lexan cover. The unit is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
There are no internal voltages higher than 5V. AC mains power is limited to the input side of a
sealed, UL-rated, wall plug AC adapter / battery charger unit.
Warning: Use of this equipment in a manner other than specified may impair the pro-
tection of the device and subject the user to a hazard. Visually inspect the unit for signs of
damage. If the unit is damaged, do not attempt to operate.
Safety Considerations
IMPORTANT: For AC operation or charging, use ONLY the designated AC adapter,
(P/N: SSI-USB/ ACA), or the supplied A-B USB cable connected to a USB port of a PC.
Do not plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet other than 100-240V ac, 50/60 Hz.
Do not plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet if the unit is wet or has been damaged,
as this could lead to electrical shock and/or equipment damage.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes, as such an
environment constitutes an explosion hazard.
Do not operate the instrument if water can get inside the case.
Do not apply signals to the inputs and outputs other than those specified in this manual.
Do not operate this equipment without having studied this manual.
Equipment Care
To maximize battery life, store your meter at room temperature. Avoid storage tempe-
ratures below -20°C or above +55°C, as could be found in a parked vehicle.
Do not drop the instrument. Avoid excessive shock or vibration, which could cause mecha-
nical damage.
Do not clean the meter with solvents. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth.
Do not allow water or other fluid into the meter.
Store the meter in its carrying case when not in use.
For greatest accuracy, operate the meter at around 25°C, not at temperature extremes.
Operating environment:
The meter is Class II (double insulated) equipment designed for use in Pollution degree 2.
