1.3 Electrical installation 
 
 
ELECTRICAL WARNING: The power cable must be connected to an earth-grounded 
electrical outlet. The electrical supply must have a circuit breaker with an appropriate 
rating to protect from over-current conditions. 
 
For your protection, all electrical (110V or 230V) equipment used out of doors or in wet 
or damp conditions should be supplied from a correctly fused power source and 
protected by an approved ground fault protection device (RCD, GFCI etc.) 
 
IF IN DOUBT SEEK ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. 
 
 
1.3.1 Pluggable equipment
Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily accessible socket outlet. 
 
 
1.3.2 Permanently wired equipment - Isolator requirements 
Permanently connected equipment must have a readily accessible disconnect device 
incorporated in the fixed wiring such as an isolator or circuit breaker with at least 3mm contact 
separation. 
 
The isolator MUST NOT be installed into the flexible power cable supplied with the unit. 
 
1.3.3 Safe handling of equipment with batteries 
 
 
 
WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the 
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries 
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 
 
 
ATTENTION: Il y a danger d'explosion s'il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie, 
remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du meme type ou d'un type equivalent 
recommande par le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagees conformement 
aux instructions du fabricant. 
 
 
1.3.4 Wet conditions 
Under wet conditions, the plug must be connected to the final branch circuit via an appropriate 
socket / receptacle designed for washdown use. 
 
Installations within the USA should use a cover that meets NEMA 3R specifications as 
required by the National Electrical Code under section 410-57. This allows the unit to be 
plugged in with a rain tight cover fitted over the plug. 
 
Installations within Europe must use a socket which provides a minimum of IP56 protection 
to the plug / cable assembly. Care must be taken to make sure that the degree of protection 
provided by the socket is suitable for the environment. 
 
 
1.4 Routine maintenance 
 
 
IMPORTANT: This equipment must be routinely checked for proper operation and 
calibration. 
Application and usage will determine the frequency of calibration required for safe 
operation.
