Fluke 725 ex [5/6] Faults and damage

Fluke 725 ex [5/6] Faults and damage
Multifunction Process Calibrator
Safety Information
3
The MEASURE/SOURCE terminals on the Calibrator are
sensitive to Electro-static discharge (ESD) at levels above
±2 kV. The Calibrator can experience temporary loss of
measurement or source functionality. This can require
you to restore product function, or cause permanent
damage to the Calibrator. Usually, a disruptive ESD event
occurs only when you connect the test leads to the
circuits being measured or if you have a large static
charge and touch the Calibrator terminals. The most
common cause of ESD is a user that carries the Calibrator
across a carpet, or other similar triboelectric activity,
before they connect to the circuit being measured.
Faults and Damage
Applying a voltage >30 V to the input of the Calibrator invalidates
its Ex Approval and may impair its safe operation in an Ex
hazardous area. See Ex Hazardous Areas in the Users Manual.
If there is any reason to suspect that the safe operation of the
Calibrator has been affected, it must be immediately withdrawn
from use, and precautionary measures must be taken to prevent
any further use of the Calibrator in an Ex hazardous area. See
Ex Hazardous Areas in the Users Manual.
Fully observe all instructions, warnings, and cautions contained
in this manual. In case of doubt due to translation and/or printing
errors, refer to the original English Users manual.
The safety features and integrity of the unit may be compromised
by any of the following:
External damage to the case
Internal damage to the Calibrator
Exposure to excessive loads
Incorrect storage of the Calibrator
Damage sustained in transit
Certification markings are illegible
Functioning errors occur
Permitted limitations are exceeded
Functioning errors or obvious measurement inaccuracies
occur which prevent further measurement by the Calibrator
Opening the case
Safety Regulations
The use of the Calibrator meets the requirements of the
regulations providing that the user observes and applies the
requirements as stated in the regulations and that improper and
incorrect use of the Calibrator is avoided.
Use must be restricted to the specified application
parameters.
Do not open the Calibrator.
Do not remove or install the batteries within the Ex
hazardous area. See Ex Hazardous Areas in the Users
Manual.
Do not carry additional batteries within the Ex hazardous
area. See Ex Hazardous Areas in the Users Manual.
Use only type-tested batteries. The use of any other
batteries will invalidate the Ex-certification and present a
safety risk.
Do not use the Calibrator in any circuit where the voltage or
transients may exceed 30 V.
Only use the Calibrator in circuits with compatible entity
parameters. When the calibrator is used in an Ex hazardous
area, unless the area is known to be safe, do not connect to
any circuits that exceed the entity parameters defined on
the 725Ex CCD. See Ex Hazardous Areas in the Users
Manual.
