safe functioning of Pico 3000.
• The documentation is a part of the product.
Keep this document for the complete working
life of the product and make sure it is easily
accessible to all people involved with the prod-
uct. If you receive any additions or revisions to
the documentation from Anton Paar GmbH,
these must be treated as part of the documenta-
tion.
1.1 General Safety Instructions
Liability
• This document does not claim to address all
safety issues associated with the use of the
instrument and samples. It is your responsibility
to establish health and safety practices and
determine the applicability of regulatory limita-
tions.
• Anton Paar GmbH only warrants the proper
functioning of Pico 3000 if no adjustments have

firmware.
• Only use Pico 3000 for the purpose described in
the documentation. Anton Paar GmbH is not lia-
ble for damages caused by incorrect use of
Pico 3000.
Installation and use
• Comply with the local workplace safety regula-
tions. Attention must be paid to all parts of a
measuring system.
• Devices without an Ex-sign are not explosion-
proof instruments and therefore must not be
operated in areas with risk of explosion.
• Devices with Ex-marking are intended for use in
areas with risk of explosion. Special Safety
Instructions must be read and followed for
installation and use (Chapter 1.2 ).
• The installation procedure should only be car-
ried out by authorized personnel who are famil-
iar with the installation instructions.
• Do not use any accessories or spare parts other
than those supplied or approved by Anton Paar
GmbH (see Chapter 3 ).
• Make sure all operators are trained to use the
instrument safely and correctly before starting
any applicable operations.
• In case of damage or malfunction, do not con-
tinue operating Pico 3000. Do not operate the
instrument under conditions which could result
in damage to goods and/or injuries and loss of
life.
• Check Pico 3000 RC housing for chemical
resistance to the cleaning agents.
• Do not operate the instrument beyond its electri-
cal, thermal and mechanical specifications.
• Do not step on the Pico 3000 RC.
Maintenance and service
• The results delivered by Pico 3000 not only
depend on the correct functioning of the instru-
ment, but also on various other factors. We
therefore recommend you have the results
checked (e.g. plausibility tested) by skilled per-
sonnel before consequential actions are taken
based on the results.
• Service and repair procedures may only be car-
ried out by authorized personnel or by Anton
Paar GmbH.
Disposal
• Concerning the disposal of Pico 3000, observe
the legal requirements in your country.
Returns
• For repairs send the cleaned Pico 3000 (instru-
ment) to your Anton Paar representative. Only
return the instrument together with the filled out
RMA (Return Material Authorization) and the
form "Safety Declaration for Instrument
Repairs". Please download the Safety Declara-
tion form from our website www.anton-
paar.com.
• Do not return instruments which are contami-
nated by radioactive materials, infectious agents
or other harmful substances that cause health
hazards.

1 Safety Instructions
10 E22IB001EN-I
1.2 Special Safety Instructions
Additional safety instructions are in the documents
supplied depending on the ordered version. The ad-
ditional documents are an integral part of this in-
struction manual. Always comply strictly with the
instructions in the additional documents.
1.2.1 Operation in Hazardous Areas
This manual also provides the safety instructions,
specifications and certifications of instruments de-
signed for use in hazardous areas according to the
Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX), IECEx, FM and CSA.
These instruments are marked with an Ex-sign. In
areas with risk of explosion, only operate instru-
ments marked with an Ex-sign.
By attaching the Ex-sign, Anton Paar GmbH con-
firms that the instruments meet the requirements of
the examination certificate according to the guide-
lines therein (Appendix D).
It is your responsibility to ensure that the set-up, in-
stallation, commissioning, operation, maintenance
and service of the measuring instrument is in full
compliance with the
• Corporate, local and national regulations and
electrical codes
• Data on the type plate
• Signs and Ex signs on the instrument
• Certificates (Appendix D)
Instructions given in the instruction manual and sup-
plementary documentation.
Set-up, installation, commissioning, operation,
maintenance and service of the instrument must be
carried out by personnel who fulfill the following re-
quirements:
- Be qualified for these tasks
- Be trained in explosion protection
- Be familiar with federal/national regulations
(e. g. IEC/EN 60079-14)
- Be authorized by the plant owner/operator
Before beginning work, the authorized person must
have read and understood the instructions in the in-
struction manual and the supplements to the in-
struction manual and in the certificates (depending
on the application).
Refer to the technical specifications for the relation-
ship between the permitted process and ambient
temperature depending on the temperature class.
Modifications on the instrument, repair works and/or
change of components are not permitted.
In the event of potentially explosive gas/air mix-
tures, only operate the instrument under atmospher-
ic conditions.
- Pressure: 80 to 110 kPa (0.8 to 1.1 bar)
- Air with normal oxygen content, usually 21%
(V/V)
Integrate the instrument into the local potential
equalization.
If the ground connection has been established via
the pipe, it is also possible to integrate the instru-
ment into the potential equalization system via the
pipe.
Only open the electronics housing in a de-energized
state (once a delay of 10 minutes has elapsed after
switching off the power supply) or in environments
which do not have a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere.
Do not remove the USB port sealing plug in poten-
tially explosive atmospheres. The USB connection
must only be used in non-explosive atmospheres.
The plastic transport sealing plugs do not meet this
requirement and must therefore be replaced during
installation.
If a cable gland or conduit entry part is not used, it
must be sealed by using an appropriate flameproof/
explosion proof sealing plug with the plug entered to
a depth of at least five threads.
If connected by a conduit entry approved for this
purpose, mount the associated sealing unit directly
at the housing.
In potentially explosive atmospheres:
• Do not disconnect the electrical connections
(power supply, communication) when energized.
• Do not open the cover of the electronics housing
when energized.
Choose the cables’ diameters to ensure optimal
sealing at the cable gland.
Take mechanical stress into consideration when
choosing the connecting cables. Strain relief is pro-
vided by the correct assembly of the cable gland.
The specification of the connecting cables must
comply with all applicable regulations for the envi-
ronment of operation and with the instructions in the
appropriate instruction manuals.

1 Safety Instructions
E22IB001EN-I 11
Only use certified cable entries and cable glands or
conduits suitable for the application. Observe selec-
tion criteria as per federal/ national regulations (e.g.
IEC/EN 60079-14).
Battery Replacement
Replace the battery with same battery type:
-CR1225
- Li/MnO2 Battery 3V, 48 mAh

Connect cable shields to the cable glands or option-
al connectors on the sensor side and on the
Pico 3000 RC or mPDS 5 evaluation unit.
5.3 Wiring the Sensor and
Pico 3000 RC
The Pico 3000 RC is separated from the sensor.
The sensor communicates with the Pico 3000 RC
via a CANopen bus network. In this network the
Pico 3000 RC is the CAN master, the sensor is the
slave.
The CAN bus needs a 120 termination at each
end. The sensor is delivered with a 120 termina-
tion resistor at CAN OUT. The Pico 3000 RC has an
internal 120 termination resistor. No external ter-
mination is required.
