Safety
This instrument has been designed and tested in accordance with the product
safety standard, EN61010. It has left the factory in a safe condition. This instruction
manual contains important information and warnings which must be followed by
the user to insure safe operation and to retain the instrument in a safe condition.
The case, chassis, and measuring terminals are connected to the protective earth
contact of the mains inlet. The instrument operates with a three-conductor power
cord having a protective earthing conductor and a plug with an earthing contact.
The mains (line) plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a
protective earth contact. The protective action must not be negated by the use
of an extension cord without a protective conductor. Use only with an approved
mains supply cord having a rating of 2A, 250V, or greater. Do not use this equip-
ment in a manner not specified herein.
CAUTION: During normal operation, the detector produces
ultraviolet energy (UVA, UVB), some of which may be
emitted. Do not watch the arc without eye protection.
Maintenance
The exterior of the instrument should be cleaned regularly with a dusting brush. If
necessary, the casing can be cleaned with a moistened cloth (99% water + 1% mild
detergent). Spirit or petroleum ether can be used to remove greasy dirt. Any other
cleaning agents can attack the plastic and painted surfaces.
Under no circumstances should the cleaning fluid get into the instrument.
Petroleum ether is flammable, and care should be taken in its use. Under no
circumstances should the detector be disassembled for cleaning. The components
of the detector are assembled with special tooling and held under considerable
force. Disassembly of the detector may present a safety hazard and will result in
its destruction.
