Warning!Bewareofhotuid
in the valve. Always follow the
sequence described in the
manual when connecting and
disconnecting the measuring
equipment.
Warning! The surface on
the Dp sensor unit can be
hot while measuring on hot
media. Always use suitable
safety equipment.
1. Turn the handheld (Hh) and the Dp sensor
(DpS-Visio) on.
2. Connect measuring equipment.
!
!
Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause
severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
Always consider the risks of injury from hot
water before starting any measurement on a
heating system and follow relevant local legisla-
tion, regulations, standards and good industry
practice for working with pressurised hot water
systems. Always use appropriate personal safety
equipment when working on a heating system.
Examplesofappropriatesafetyequipment
include (but are not limited to) a face shield, heat
resistant rubber gloves and boots and a long
sleeved apron (long enough to cover the tops of
the boots). Always wear your boots inside your
trouser legs to prevent/minimise any hot water
owingintoyourboots.IMIHydronicEngineering
will not take any responsibility for injury howso-
ever caused by hot water during measurement.

CAUTION! (Multi-charger)
1. Do not bend the blade or pins of the plug.
2. If there are any strange sound, smoke or odor, pull of the cable(s) immediately.
3.Donotdisassemble.(itmaycausereorelectricshock).
4.Donotputanysharpobjectsintotheventinghole.(itmaycausereorelectric
shock).
5.Ensuretoplugthemulti-chargerrmly.
