Product-Related Safety Precautions

 

 

The product has been tested for safety and approved as shipped from the

 

 

 

factory. The following safety precautions are not related to any specific

 

 

 

procedures and therefore do not appear elsewhere in this manual. They

 

 

 

are recommended precautions that personnel must understand and

 

 

 

apply during different phases of operation and maintenance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

Keep away from live circuits. Operating personnel must observe safety

 

 

 

regulations at all times. Component replacement or internal

 

 

 

adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not

 

 

 

replace components with the power cable connected. Under certain

 

 

 

conditions, dangerous voltages may exist for some time even with the

 

 

 

power cable disconnected. To avoid injuries, disconnect power and

 

 

 

discharge circuits before touching them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

Do not service alone. Under no circumstances should any person reach

 

 

 

into parts and assemblies that are mains powered and alive, for the

 

 

 

purpose of servicing, except in the presence of someone who is

 

 

 

capable of rendering aid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with

 

 

 

modern methods of resuscitation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

Do not service a live system outdoors. Do not open units outdoors

 

 

 

when the enclosure used contains line voltage levels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere, for example, when

 

 

 

flammable gases or fumes are present. Operation of any electrical

 

 

 

instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

Do not substitute parts or modify the instrument. Because of the

 

 

 

danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install unsuitable

 

 

 

parts in the instrument. Contact Vaisala or its authorized representative

 

 

 

for repairs to ensure that safety features are maintained.

Risk of damage to the equipment if the battery is replaced with an

 

 

 

incorrect type.

 

 

 

 

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 with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord to the equipment chassis before touching the boards. When neither of the above is possible, at least 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.
