Specialty Concepts DM3 - Manual (Page 3)

PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND NOTES
DANGER:
Hydrogen gas is VERY explosive. Where there are batteries, there may be
hydrogen. Work only in a well vented area. Make sure that no hydrogen is present when making or
removing any electrical connections or when equipment is operating normally. Wires should have no
power applied to them when making or removing connections to equipment in the presence of
batteries.
DANGER
: Electricity, even low voltage electricity, can be dangerous. Installation should be
performed by a licensed electrical contractor or other qualified personnel only. It is recommended
that the requirements of all applicable local electrical codes (or U.S. National Electrical Code in the
absence of local codes) be followed.
WARNING:
Follow all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer and the National
Electrical Code. Proper ventilation must be provided for vented batteries. Most vented batteries
produce hydrogen gas when charging, which is extremely explosive. DO NOT expose the battery to
open flame, matches, cigarettes or sparks.
CAUTION:
DO NOT exceed the voltage and current ratings of the DM3 as stated in the
specifications.
DO NOT
cut the internal shunt unless you plan to use a remote shunt for both current readings.
Once this shunt is cut, you will not be able to repair it.
