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.
