2INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
Precautions
The following precautions must be exercised to use the Honeywell
Versatilis Signal Scout safely and effectively:
nHoneywell will not provide any guarantee, if the Signal Scout is
disassembled.
nThe battery may present a potential electrostatic ignition hazard
when dissembled.
nImproper use may lead to battery fluid leakage, excessive heat,
ignition, or explosion.
nHoneywell will not be liable for any hazard that might be caused
due to negligence in handling the Signal Scout.
nCare should be taken to protect this Signal Scout from impact or
abrasion if located in a Zone 0/Class I Div 1 environment.
nIt is the responsibility of the end user to verify that the Signal
Scout has the necessary approvals required for the intended area
of use.
nEnsure that the operating environment of the Signal Scout is
consistent with the appropriate hazardous location’s certification.
Hazardous locations
Honeywell Versatilis Signal Scout is available with IECEx, ATEX, UKCA
Ex, North America Class I Div I and CCoE approvals.
For more information, see certifications section.

Best practices
Table 2-1: Best Practices - DOs
DOs
Ensure there is an adequate space to access the Signal
Scout before selecting an installation position.
The Signal Scout must be installed vertically perpendicular
to the target structure (like beams, pipes, frames, etc) for
overall best performance.
Ensure the target surface of the structure is free from
greasy, corrosion, abrasion, and uneven surfaces. So, the
magnetic adapter attaches firmly to the target surface,
thereby improving the measurement of frequency
response.
Ensure there are no damages, pigments, dents, or
Contortion to the surface of the Signal Scout's base. Any
such deformations or pigments may affect performance
and measurement accuracy.
Ensure that there is no visible damage to the filter on the
face of the sensor, before installation. If the filter is
damaged then the sensor will not function as intended.
Dispose the Signal Scout and battery according to laws
and regulations.
Installation in an explosive environment must be under the
appropriate local, national, and international standards,
codes, and practices.

Table 2-2: Best Practices - DON'Ts
DON'Ts
Do not remove the Signal Scout's enclosure without
written consent from Honeywell. The Signal Scout is
packaged with battery and sensitive electronics, that may
be damaged without proper care. Pay attention to don’ts
when the Signal Scout's enclosure is removed:
lDo not short-circuit.
lDo not disassemble or change.
lDo not expose to heat or fire.
Do not use bare hands while installing the magnetic
adapter on the target structure as the magnet is powerful
and can pinch the skin/ fingers if not handled properly.
Do not mount the adhesive mount adapter on uneven,
rough, or curved surfaces as there is a potential risk of
falling down of the Signal Scout due to the lack of
sufficient bonding area.
