We reserve the right to change or improve the instruments described in this manual without previous
announcement, simply in accordance to the technical progress. Therefore insignificant deviations between
the descriptions in this instruction and your measuring instrument are possible.
1.2 Meaning of the used symbols
In this manual following symbols will be used in order to ease locating important hints, advices, and
situations.
This symbol indicates useful hints which facilitate and optimize your working process.
This symbol indicates potential dangers, which may lead to malfunctions or even damage of
the hardware and how those dangers can be avoided.

2 Important hints for the customer
2.1 Safety regulations
The manufacturer declines any direct or indirect liability if the operator opens the instrument or
manipulates the instrument! This instrument is built and tested in accordance with EN-61010 (DIN VDE
0411 T1) to assure proper protection of the electronic material and measurement function of the
instruments. All units have left the factory with regard to safeguarding in a perfect condition. In order to
keep this state and to guarantee a safe operation, the customer must follow the references and warning
notes which are contained in this manual.
If a safe operation is no longer possible, the instrument has to be taken out of operation and to be
protected against unintentional operation. A safe operation is not possible anymore.
if the instrument shows visible harm,
if the instrument does not work anymore,
after longer storage under unfavourable conditions,
after heavy-duty transportation.
If the instrument was stored or transported at low temperatures and an acclimatisation period prior start up
of minimum 1 hour is not kept, the internal pump may not even start (due to possible inner condensation).
In this case the electronic protection fuse will activate and disconnect the instruments power supply.
Do not operate the device without the condensate bottle!

Revision 1.0 29.03.2010 Page 9/61
2.2 Electric Safety
Before the first use of the instrument you need to check whether the main voltage is in the allowed
specifications. Operate the dust monitor only with the designated voltage and the original external power
supply.
The Lithium battery (SL-389; 3,6V; 1AH) on the digital circuit board is necessary to the operation
of the real-time clock. This battery must not be charged and only changed in an emptied state by
an authorised personal. The normal operation period is several years.
The recharge of the Lithium battery inside the memory card (CR-2016 with 3V and 60mAh or CR-
2325 with 3 and 200mAh) is not permitted.
Fuses built into the instrument may only be changed by trained service personnel
All fuses are to be replaced only by the same type!
.
Since the instrument has its internal electronic protection, the fuses will react only at a
serious fault!
2.3 Laser safety
Caution! Optical laser class 3 B inside!
The instrument may only be opened by GRIMM trained service personnel. During the opening of the laser
unit, especially the measuring chamber, a laser radiation of the class 3 B can be released. The direct look
into the laser beam or a reflexion can lead to damage of the eyes even at a short exposure time.
You will find references in the EN 60825 (DIN VDE 0837 T1), but also in the corresponding VBG 93
"Laser radiation" prevention regulation for possible accidental exposure!
Caution! Laser class 3B at a open instrument!

Manual EDM 180
Revision 1.0 29.03.2010 Page 10/61
All stickers shown are on the bottom of the instrument and warn the operator for laser light radiation in
case the covers of the instrument have been dismounted!
Laser class 1 in closed state of the measurement unit! Laser of class 1 are not dangerous and safe for
eyes even in case of malfunction due to manipulation or usage of optical additives (e.g. binocular,
microscope etc.)
The glass fuses built in the instrument (Pico fuse 2A, quick-type, and switching capacity 300A /32V DC)
must only be replaced by trained service staff with the type specified in the circuit documents. Because
the devices are secured by electronically excess-current cut-out the fuse will only respond at a severe
malfunction.
2.4 Transportation
The instrument may be transported only in the original packing and in the switched off mode. The aerosol
inlet and output have to be closed with provided covers.
