1 Safety precautions
1.1 Symbols
The symbols shown here are used throughout the following text to highlight the hazards
associated with using the KAL 100 and KAL 200 and to point out important information for
operating the instrument.
WARNING!
This warns you of a potential hazard that could lead to bodily injury up to and
including death if the corresponding instructions are not followed.
Warning!
This warns you of a potential hazard that could lead to significant property
damage if corresponding instructions are not followed.
INFORMATION!
This indicates that the corresponding information is important for operating the
instrument properly.
WARNING! ELECTRICITY HAZARD!
1.2 Appropriate use
The KAL 100 and KAL 200 calibration device is used for testing and calibrating pressure sensors.
The instrument is designed for indoor use. To avoid damage, never expose the instrument to
liquids or humidity. Avoid strong sunlight, heavy dirt and strong vibrations.
Dust and dirt deposits inside can damage the Instrument. Under appropriate environmental
conditions (dust, smoke) the device should be serviced regularly by qualified personnel to prevent
damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.
Always observe the operating requirements –particularly the permissible supply voltage –
indicated on the rating plate and in the “Technical data” section of this manual.
The instrument may only be handled as indicated in this manual. Modifications to the instrument
are prohibited. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by improper use or failure to
follow these instructions. Violations of this type render all warranty claims null and void.

1.3 Shipping, assembly, electrical connections and start-up
Please do not close the pressure inlets during shipping! Changes in barometric pressure may
damage devices with low measuring ranges.
Assembly and the electrical connections should only be handled by professionals. Only technical
personnel who are appropriately trained and authorized by the operator of the facility may
assemble the instrument and set up its electrical connections.
Pressurized air or breath is not to be used for performance tests, as this could damage
instruments with low measurement ranges.
Measurement errors may occur if the instrument is not kept protected from sunlight.
See the individual sections of this manual for specific safety precautions.
1.4 Troubleshooting maintenance, repairs, disposal
The individual responsible for the electrical connections must be notified if the instrument is
damaged or if errors occur that cannot be corrected as indicated in Section 10.
This individual must take the instrument out of service until the error has been corrected and
ensure that it cannot be used unintentionally.
WARNING! ELECTRICITY HAZARD!
Electric shock due to high voltages inside the instrument.
Inside the instrument there are parts that are under high electrical voltage.
Never remove covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not use the
instrument if any covers are missing or damaged.
This instrument requires no maintenance.
Only the manufacturer may perform repairs that require the housing to be opened.
The electronic components of the instrument and the optionally included rechargeable battery
contain materials that can be reused. The instrument must therefore be sent to a recycling plant
when you no longer wish to use it. The environment codes of your particular country must be
complied with.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to improper handling of lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries can cause serious injury in case of short circuit, overheating or mechanical
damage.
