Safety instructions
This instrument is designed for use in Explosion Hazard
Zone 2 areas. Do not use in Explosion Hazard Zone 1 areas.
If you are working in explosion hazard environments,
do not use plastic beakers. Plastic beakers can create sta-
tic electrical charges and can ignite
explosive substances. The power
supply plug must be connected up
outside the explosion hazard zone.
The housing must be earthed. To
earth the instrument, use a ear-
thing cable with a commercial 6.3
quick-connect terminal and plug
this into the socket on the rear of
the instrument (see figure).
Damage to the protective membra-
ne sheet will reduce the IP and explosion hazard zone
rating of the instrument.
Hazard warning – Magnetism. The instrument creates a mag-
netic field. Items which are sensitive to magnetism (e.g. da-
ta storage devices, pacemakers...). must be kept away from
6
the instrument.
