2 Safety Instructions
• Read this instruction manual before using the portable density meter
SG-Ultra Max.
• Follow all hints and instructions contained in this instruction manual to ensure
the correct use and safe functioning of SG-Ultra Max.
Liability
• This instruction manual does not claim to address all safety issues associated
with the use of the instrument and samples. It is your responsibility to establish
health and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations.
• EEPS only warrants the proper functioning of SG-Ultra Max if no
adjustments have been made to the mechanics, electronics, and firmware.
• Only use SG-Ultra Max for the purpose described in this instruction manual.
EEPS is not liable for damages caused by incorrect use of SG-Ultra Max.
Installation and use
• SG-UltraMax and SG-Ultra Max Tag&Log are not explosion-proof instruments
and therefore must not be operated in areas with risk of explosion.
• Never remove the pump lock and battery cover in hazardous areas. Only
exchange the batteries outside of hazardous areas.
• The installation procedure shall only be carried out by authorized personnel who
are familiar with the installation instructions.
• Do not use any accessories or wearing parts other than those supplied or
approved by EEPS.
• Make sure all operators are trained to use the instrument safely and correctly
before starting any applicable operations.
• In case of damage or malfunction, do not continue operating SG-Ultra Max. Do
not operate the instrument under conditions which could result in damage to goods
and/or injuries and loss of life.
• Check SG-Ultra Max for chemical resistance to the samples and cleaning liquids.
• Do not expose the instrument to temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) if water is
contained in the measuring cell or pump (freezing water will cause rupture of the
measuring cell).
• SG-UltraMax is not insulated against high voltages. Measuring samples under high
voltage (e.g. in energized battery banks) bears the risk of an electric shock.
Define appropriate testing procedures and safety measures to protect yourself
from any electric shock.
