3. EC Declaration of Conformity
This is to certify that TPI 360 series thermometers conform to the protection requirements of the council directive 89/336/EEC, in the approximation of laws of the
member states relating to Electromagnetic compatibility
and 73/23/EEC. The Low Voltage Directive by application
of the following standards:
EN 50081-1 1992 Emissions Standard
EN 50082-1 1992 Immunity Standard
EN 61010-1 1993 Safety Standard
EN 61010-2-031 1995 Safety Standard
EN 61010-2-032 1995 Safety Standard
To ensure conformity with these standard, this instrument must be operated in accordance with the instructions and specifications given in this manual.
CAUTION: Even though this instrument complies with
the immunity standards, it’s accuracy can be affected
by strong radio emissions not covered in the above
standards. Sources such as hand-held radio transceivers, radio and TV transmitters, vehicle radios and
cellular phones generate electromagnetic radiation
that could be induced into the test leads of this instrument. Care should be taken to avoid such situations or
alternatively, check to make sure that the instrument is
not being influence by these emissions.
CAUTION: Please follow manufacturers test procedures whenever possible. Do not attempt to measure
unknown voltages or components until a complete
understanding of the circuit is obtained.
