2.2 Precautions
Compliance with the following precautionary measures is
vital to ensure safe and reliable operation:
Check all equipment packaging for transporation damage.
Report any damage to the transporter and to Kistler.
The equipment should be used only under the specied ope-
rating conditions and must be protected against excessive
dust and mechanical stress (shock, vibration, etc.).
Avoid high atmospheric humidity, which can lead to conden-
sation during changes in temperature.
If there is evidence that safe operation is no longer possib-
le, the instrument must be powered off and rendered safe
against accidental start-up. Safe operation is no longer pos-
sible when the product
▪ shows visible signs of damage
▪ is no longer operating
▪ has been subjected to prolonged storage under unsuitable
conditions
