Product Related Safety Precautions
The Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Module HMM212
delivered to you has been tested for safety and approved as shipped from
the factory. Note the following precautions:
WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
Ground the product, and verify outdoor installation grounding
periodically to minimize shock hazard.
Do not modify the unit. Improper modification can damage the product
or lead to malfunction.
Do not touch the sensor element.
ESD Protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to
electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against
ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product
by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or
inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench. When this is not possible, ground yourself
to the equipment chassis before touching the boards. Ground yourself
with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord. When neither of the
above is possible, touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis
with your other hand before touching the boards.
- Always hold the boards by the edges and avoid touching the
component contacts.
Recycling
Recycle all applicable material.
Dispose of batteries and the unit according to statutory regulations. Do
not dispose of with regular household refuse.
