User manual

Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical installations are only to
be executed when instructed by a responsible electrical specialist, and never
alone.
If the operator’s safety is no longer ensured, the instrument is to be put out
of service and protected against use. The safety is no longer insured, if the
instrument:
• shows obvious damage
• does not carry out the desired measurements
• has been stored for too long under unfavourable conditions
• has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.
Prior to usage, inspect instrument for external damage. Prior to any operati-
on, ensure that connecting leads used and electronic load are in perfect con-
dition.
The UNITEST SF100 may only be used in systems complying with the nomi-
nal voltages indicated in the technical data section.
If the instrument is subjected to an extremely high electro-magnetic field, its
functioning ability may be impaired.
Never try to disassemble battery cells !The battery contains highly alkaline
electrolyte. Danger of causticization ! If electrolyte gets in contact with skin
or clothing, rinse immediately with water. If electrolyte gets in contact with
the eyes, immediately flush by using pure water and consult a doctor.
Never try to make contact between both battery cell poles, for example by
using a wire connection. The resulting short-circuit current is very high and
causes extreme heat. Danger of fire and explosion !
• Never throw battery cells into a fire as this could cause an explosion.
• Never expose batteries or accumulators to humidity.
• When replacing or changing the battery, make certain of correct polarity. Bat-
teries with reversed polarity can lead to instrument destruction. Furthermo-
re, they may explode or ignite.
• Only use batteries as describet in the technical data section
Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sunlight to ensure perfect
functioning and long instrument life.
