Setup and installation
•Ensure that there is an adequate supply of air to prevent heat building up in the instrument.
•Do not place the instrument on surfaces such as carpets or cloths, or near materials such as curtains
or wall hangings that could prevent the air circulating.
•Do not place the instrument at an inclined angle. It should always be used in a horizontal position.
•Keeptheinstrument awayfrom apparatus,equipment,machinesandinstallations thatgeneratestrong
magnetic fields.
•Do not place heavy objects on the instrument.
•Condensation can form inside the instrument if it is taken directly from a warm room into a cold room.
Wait a few hours before switching on the instrument.
•Make sure that the display panel is not mechanically stressed.
•The instrument must have reached thermal equilibrium.
•Selecttheinstallationlocationsothattheinstrumentisnotexposedtoextremetemperatures(operating
temperature range 0 to 50°C) or temperature variations, nor to humidity, direct sunlight, incandescent
lamps, dust, oils, organic solvents, other aerosols or severe vibrations or mechanical shocks. In very
dirty industrial environments, it is recommended to use a suitable protective enclosure.
Functional test
Calibration
The meter was calibrated before shipping. The calibration history of the instruments used for the calibration
can be traced to the government measurement standard in accordance with DIN ISO 9000ff. The meter
should be recalibrated after a period of about one year. Calibration is performed using the RS232 interface,
and should only be performed at the manufacturer’s premises. The customer can perform the calibration in-
house by purchasing the PC software 2316-P001.
Storage
For long-term storage, pack the unit, along with a desiccant, into an airtight, sealed polyethylene bag. Do not

in contact with the display panel. The storage temperature range is 0 to 70°C. However, to maximize the
lifespan of the display, the temperature should not exceed 50°C.
