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.
