the Declaration of conformity is available on request.
RoHS Statement
Concerning EU-Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2), to the best of our knowledge,
based on supplier provided information, all Kanomax brand products, are not
intentionally manufactured or formulated with the following substances: Lead,
mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB),
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). Minimal levels established in the 2005
RoHS Directive still apply under Article 4(2), Annex II: 0.1% by weight in
homogenous materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated
biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers; 0.01% by weight in homogenous

DANGER
Never touch the vane assembly blades and/or thermal sensors.
The vane assembly blades may contain sharp edges which may cause minor
cuts. The assembly contains precision bearings which are sensitive and the
blades are finely adjusted to specific pitches. Touching this assembly or its parts
may cause damage which can affect its operation and the calibration.
NOTE: If the vane assembly head or probe head requires cleaning we
recommend a fine mist of isopropyl alcohol and a fine long-haired brush or send
the unit in or servicing.
Do not disassemble or heat the batteries, or put them into a fire.
The may cause burns and the batteries may burst. Please dispose of used
batteries in the proper manner per local ordinances.
CAUTION
When measuring, ensure that the direction arrow is facing the
direction of airflow.
The arrow indicates the direction of airflow for the data provided on the calibration
certificate. It is meant to allow for uniform and consistent readings as per the provided
data. The probe will operate in the opposite direction but the data may be different.
Do not use or leave the instrument in a high temperature, high humidity,
high speed airflows or dusty environments for prolonged periods.
The instrument may not function properly out of the specified operating conditions and/or
have a greatly reduced operating life span.
Do not subject the instrument or the probe to strong impacts.
Dropping the instrument or the probe may cause damage or malfunction to the instrument
and may change the calibration data. We recommend sending it in immediately to be
checked.

CAUTION (continued)
Never disassemble, modify or repair the product.
Failure to observe the above may cause damage to the instrument or the probe. It may
also void the manufacturer’s warranty and calibration certificate.
Do not pick up or carry the instrument by the cable.
It may cause a malfunction or damage to the wiring of the cable.
Remove the batteries from the instrument when storing for long
periods of time. When inserting the batteries, be sure to insert them with the
polarity facing the correct direction.
Failure to do so may cause battery leakage and subsequent damage to the
instrument. The manufacturer does not recommend any specific brand of
batteries but a high-quality name brand alkaline battery seems to last the longest.
Do not wipe the instrument with a volatile solvent.
Use neutral solvents and simple cleaners to clean the instrument with a soft cloth.
Regularly check the head of the probe for contamination.
Impurities (such as dust) on the blades and/or thermal sensor may affect the
accuracy of the instrument.
NOTE: If the vane assembly head or probe head requires cleaning we
recommend a fine mist of isopropyl alcohol and a fine long-haired brush or send
the unit in or servicing.
When storing or shipping the instrument, the manufacturer recommends
disconnecting the cable(s) and returning it to the original carrying case.
