en
Your system has to be designed and
operated in such a way, that it is
secured (e.g. terminal safety switch)
against damage due to error in
measurements, defects on the
instrument or power interruptions.
CAUTION:
Strong magnetic fields in the
measuring environment can
influence automatic end cover
recognition and lead to errors while
measuring.
Precautions:
When measuring near magnetic
fields (e.g. magnets, transformer
stations,...) DISTO automatic end
cover recognition should be
monitored or switched off.
WARNING:
If the product is used together
with computers which have not been
approved by the manufacturer for
use in the field, there is a danger of
electric shock.
Precautions:
Follow the directions given by the
manufacturer for using computer
equipment in the field with our
systems.
