Rev. 05 17

5.5.3.1 Safety and precautionary measures for the GSM/GPRS modem installation
lThis device must only be installed by a trained technician who applies the recognised installation
practices for a wireless frequency transmitter including the correct grounding of external antennas.
lThe device must not be operated in hospitals and/or in the vicinity of medical equipment such as heart
pacemakers or hearing aids.
lThe device must not be subjected to strong vibrations or impacts.
lThe GSM/GPRS modem can cause interferences if it is located in the vicinity of television sets, radios
or computers.
lDo not open the GSM/GPRS modem. Any modification to the device is prohibited and will result in the
operating licence being revoked.
lThe use of GSM services (SMS messages/data communication/GPRS, etc.) may incur additional
costs. The user alone is responsible for any resulting damages and costs.
lDo not install the device in any other way to the one described in the operating instructions. Improper
use will invalidate the warranty.

5.7 Intended use
The measurement instrument is used to capture analogue signals. The device is battery-operated. The
measured and recorded data is stored on a non-volatile memory medium. This stored data is sent via the
mobile network to a central server for further processing. The device is equipped with an integrated SIM chip
for this purpose. The maximum permissible limit values specified in chapter "Specifications" on page 13 must
be observed. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any operational cases that deviate from these limit
values and have not been approved by the manufacturer in writing.
Note: This device is exclusively intended to be used for the purposes as described before. Any other
use or use beyond what is specified or a modification of the device shall be deemed to be not for the
intended purpose and is not permitted without the express written consent of the manufacturer. The
manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages that may result from such unauthorised use or
modification. The operator alone bears the associated risk.
Note: The manufacturer is not liable for data loss of any kind.
Note: The integrated SIM chip provides a mobile communications connection to a variety of
international service providers. In order to be able to utilise all functions of the device, you must
ensure that the device is located in the service area of one of these service providers. You can find a
list of all supported countries and associated service providers under
www.microtronics.com/footprint. A Managed Service contract with Microtronics Engineering GmbH
is required for use of the mobile data transmission (see www.microtronics.com/managedservice).
This includes the provisioning of the mobile communications connection via the network of the service
provider included in the above-mentioned list.
