INTRODUCTION
PROVISIONS
§Install the NI400 in order to avoid the direct sun radiation.
§The product should not be installed in small places and/or without ventilation, with
high humidity levels or in the presence of flammable or explosive liquids. Do not
open the box with bad weather conditions (rain, snow etc) or if you want to avoid
the entry of humid air.
§The NI400 was programmed to work at temperatures between -30°C and +60°C
(batteries from -20°C to +60°C) and to be conserved at temperatures between
-40°C e +85°C (batteries from 0°C to + 40°C). Too extreme temperatures can tem-
porarily shorten batteries lifetime or cause the temporary malfunctioning of the
NI400.
§After tightening the cable glands, consider to seal accurately the instrumental cables
(with silicone or expanded lather) to guarantee the correct degree of protection of
the box.
§Electrical connections must be done by a qualified technician, respecting the current
regulations.
§Before doing works, verify that all connections (also the ones free from potential) are
voltage-free. Maintenance works have to be done only by qualified technicians.
§Periodically verify the voltage of the external battery: in case of a value inferior to
11.5Vdc, consider the substitution of the battery and check on the causes. Anyway,
battery has to be substituted after 5 years. If, for every reasons, the battery capacity
descends under 50%, consider its immediate substitution.
§Periodically verify the voltage of batteries in batteries-holder: in case of a value infe-
rior to 8.4V consider the substitution of the battery and check on the causes
§Avoid any activity that can put the battery poles in short-circuit.
§The use of non-original spare parts can cause abnormal functioning and dangers for
people and things.
§Supplied equipments and devices are not suitable to be installed in potentially
dangerous areas or in areas where the use of explosion-proof components is pre-
scribed. In potentially explosive areas it is necessary to shut down the NI400. Pos-
sible sparks could cause explosions or fires, causing serious injuries or even death.
Generally, areas with a potentially explosive atmospehere are signalled.
§Consider the periodic substitution of bags of hygroscopic salts.
§The NI400 contains fragile parts and components.
§Do not drop, disassemble, press or deform the NI400.
§Do not use the NI400 if it is damaged.
§The lack of respect for this behavior could damage the installed equipment.
DISPOSAL
The disused devices has to be disposed of in accordance with the European
directive 2002/96/CE. Recycable materials contained in the device will be
recuperated to avoid the environmental degradation. For further information,
adress to the local disposal authorithy or to device seller.
The NI400 contains electronic components and batteries that have to be disposed of sepa-
rately from domestic waste.
When this product reach its useful life, it is necessary to bring it to a gathering place for
the recycling of electronical components. An uncorrected disposal on the part of the user
could be subject to penalties.
IDENTIFICATION LABELS
Every NI400, from now on indicated simply as “datalogger” has two type of identifica-
tion labels.The first label, placed on the upper side of NI400, shows the registration Serial
Number of the product.
It is important to communicate these data in case of request of information or accessories
concerning the product.
The second label, placed on the back side of NI400, shows information about the electrical
equipment of the product.
Respect the requirements written on the label. The lack of respect for these requirements
could damage the product or put in danger the operator.
