2. Cautionary Statements
•
section at the front of this
manual.
•
Campbell Scientific warranty does not cover a clogged reference
diaphragm or improperly cleaned or maintained ISFET chip (see Section
9, Maintenance).
•
Maximum input voltage is 5 Vdc. Incorrect wiring may cause
performance loss and irreversible damage.
•
To prevent scratching the sensor chip when cleaning, first soak the sensor
in soapy water and then gently scrub with a toothbrush (see Section 9,
Maintenance). Most scratches occur when hard particles are rubbed on the
chip surface. Scratches cause irreversible damage to the probe.
•
Do not use hydrofluoric acid, acetone, MEK, or similar agents to clean the
probe.
•
Cable can be damaged by abrasion, rodents, sharp objects, twisting,
crimping or crushing, and pulling. Take care during installation and use to
avoid cable damage.
•
The CS526 is rugged, but it should be handled as a precision scientific
instrument.
•
The CS526 has no user-serviceable parts. Any attempt to disassemble the
device will void the six-month warranty.
•
Care should be taken when opening the shipping package to not damage or
cut the cable jacket. If damage to the cable is suspected, consult with a
Campbell Scientific application engineer.
