Take all necessary steps to prevent further damage. 3.1 Instrument transport mode When transporting the instrument, it can be set to transport mode. When set into transport mode the accelerometer is deactivated, so the instrument will remain Powered-Off to conserve battery life. Procedure: 1. Set to Transport Mode (See Section ‘Power Management’). 2. The Transport Mode can be set by pressing and holding and for 3 seconds, from any display screen. 3. When the instrument is reactivated by pressing and holding for 3 seconds, the transport mode is deactivated. 3.2 Shipping of ESD-sensitive modules VLSI chips (MOS technology) are used in practically all Heraeus Electro-Nite electronic modules. These VLSI components are, by their nature, very sensitive to over voltages and thus to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Anti-static packing material must always be used when storing and dispatching modules and components. If the container itself is not conductive, the modules must be wrapped in a conductive material such as conductive foam, anti-static plastic bag, aluminum foil, or paper. Normal plastic bags or foil should not be used under any circumstances. For modules with built-in batteries, ensure that the conductive packing does not touch or short-circuit the battery connections: if necessary cover the connections with insulating tape or material. 3.3 Packaging the instrument Since the instrument or device is a high-quality electronic and/or measurement unit, it should only be dispatched in its original packing. If the original packing is no longer present, then it is advisable to properly pack the device in a sufficiently large box lined with a shock-absorbing material such as PUR foam, polystyrene flakes, or similar. The shock-absorbing layer should have a minimal thickness of 10cm on all sides. Before packing the instrument or device, it must be wrapped in paper or plastic film. For overseas transportation, the instrument or device should be sealed into an air-tight plastic film, ideally with a desiccant added. These packing recommendations also apply when returning the instrument or device to the manufacturer. 3.4 Shipment of Lithium Ion Batteries in the Instrument The instrument contains a Lithium Ion Battery Pack that is compliant with UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, sub-section 38.3. As the battery pack (2 cells, 25Wh) is contained within the instrument, it may be shipped without special warning labels according to UN 3481, Section II of PI 967. In order to maintain compliance with transportation regulations, the instrument Battery Pack should always be shipped inside of the housing. Additional regulations will apply to Battery Packs shipped outside of the device. Please refer to your transporter to confirm specific regulations.

Use only suitable electrical tools. Warning: • Repairs may only be carried out by Heraeus Electro-Nite service personnel. For replacement purposes, use only parts or components contained in the spare parts list or listed in the Spare Parts. Unauthorized opening of equipment and improper repairs can result in loss of life or severe personal injury as well as substantial property damage. • Do not throw batteries into an open fire and do not solder on batteries (danger of explosion). • Only use replacement battery packs supplied by Heraeus Electro-Nite. 7.2 Guidelines for Handling (ESD) VLSI chips (MOS technology) are used in practically all Heraeus Electro-Nite electronic modules. These VLSI components are, by their nature, very sensitive to over voltages and thus to electrostatic discharge (ESD). This pictogram and warning label is used on cabinets, subracks, and packing and suggests that modules are susceptible to ESD. Before starting maintenance or installation make sure that you have sufficient protection against ESD. Electronic devices can be destroyed by voltage and energy levels that are far below the level perceptible to human beings. Such voltages can occur when a component or a module is touched by a person who has not been electrostatically discharged. In most cases, the components subjected to such over voltages, cannot be immediately detected as faulty; the fault occurs only after a long period in operation. 7.3 Cleaning notes The instrument can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. 7.4 Battery Warning: • Battery should not be replaced. The only allowed replacement is by the one specified in the ‘ • Spare Parts’ list 7.5 Performing a test measurement with a Checkmate A Checkmate instrument is used to check the basic function of Heraeus Electro-Nite instrumentation. The Digilance the burnout is set to negative, and the Checkmate should also be set to negative. When Checkmate Measurements are detected: • Heat Number will be stored as 9999999999 • will be displayed after the Heat Number More information about the configuration of the Checkmate can be found in its user manual. 7.6 Calibrating the system Warning: • ONLY AUTHORISED PERSONNEL MAY CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM. • The instrument is calibrated prior to delivery. • Calibration should be performed yearly. • Before calibration, ensure the instrument is acclimatized.
