•
This instrument is designed for indoor use at temperatures between 32° and 104° F
(0°C and 40°C) and altitudes up to 6500 ft (2,000 meters).
•
To ensure that the instrument is used safely, follow all safety and operating instructions
in this operation manual. If the instrument is not used as described in this operation
manual, the safety features of this instrument may be impaired.
•
Do not use the instrument if the instrument, the cables or the piezoelectric pickup, or
if you suspect that the instrument is not operating properly.
•
When using the instrument, keep away from moving parts (fan, drive belts, etc) and
hot objects (exhaust pipes, mufer , catalytic converter, etc), to avoid personal injuries
and damage to the instrument, the cable or piezoelectric sensor.
•
Do not connect or apply more than 42 VDC or any AC current directly to the
connec-
tors or the piezoelectric pickup.
•
At all times, to avoid electrical shock, use CAUTION when working with electrical
circuits above 60V DC or 25V AC rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
•
Do not operate this instrument with the battery cover off.
•
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the instrument, do not exceed the specied
input limits.
