Magontec CorroScout 500 Instrucciones De Uso página 23

2.4 Do not use the measuring instrument under unfavourable ambient
conditions (for instance, wetness, condensing moisture or insuffi-
cient lighting conditions).
2.5 In order to avoid a possible electric shock, ensure not to touch, neither
directly or indirectly, the test probes and the test terminals (test
points) during the measurement.
2.6 In enamelled storage water heaters operated with an insulated electric
tubular heating element, a transfer of voltage via the water to con-
tactable metal parts of the tank cannot be excluded when the electric
tubular heating element is defective. Touching these parts may result
in fatal electric shocks. For this reason, when measuring the drive
potential as well as the protective current with CorroScout
electric tubular heater must be disconnected from the mains!
2.7 Before calibration, servicing, repair or replacement of parts, the
measuring instrument must be disconnected from all sources of cur-
rent and measuring circuits if opening of the measuring instrument is
necessary.
2.8 Testing of the internal resistance of the electric heater may only be car-
ried out with switched-off voltage and current supply!
2.9 When dealing with voltages higher than 25 V AC, the utmost caution
must be taken when testing the voltage. Even at these voltages
there is the risk of life-threatening shocks when touching the electrical
conductors.
2.10 Never operate CorroScout
the battery is being changed.
2.11 If there is a reason to belive that safe operation has become
impossible, the device must immediately be taken out of operation
and secured against unintended operation.
2.12 Never switch on the CorroScout
brought from a cold into a warm place. Condensation water that
forms may destroy the device. Allow the device to reach room tem-
perature before switching it on.
