Safety

The HMDW80 series transmitter

delivered to you has been tested for

safety and approved as shipped from the factory. Note the following

precautions:

WARNING

Installation of HMDW80 series transmitters may involve working at a

height. Assess the risks and plan your work so it is carried out safely.

Try avoiding work at height, if you can.

CAUTION

Make sure the wires are de-energized when you connect them to the

screw terminals.

CAUTION

Do not modify the unit. Improper modification can damage the product

or lead to malfunction.

ESD Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to

electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against

ESD for their intended use. It is possible to damage the product,

however, by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching,

removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.

To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself, always

hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching the component

contacts.

Recycling

Recycle all applicable material.

Dispose of the unit according to statutory regulations. Do not dispose of

with regular household refuse.
