Laser safety information
The SDT200 is equipped with a laser class 2: Risk of injury to the eye.
Never look directly to the laser beam.
Never point the laser beam at a person' eye.
Do not aim the laser at specular reflection surfaces.
Never view the laser using an optical instrument.
Safety precautions for the SDT200
ATEX version
Please read carefully the safety precautions before using the SDT200 - ATEX
version in a potentially explosive environment.
Make sure your SDT200A protection class is suited regarding the
environment it will be used.
Under no circumstances, do not attempt to service or replace SDT200
ATEX version components. In case of malfunction, contact SDT
International or SDT local representative.
Maintenance must always be performed outside potentially explosive
environments.
Battery charge must exclusively be performed outside potentially
explosive environments.
FUBATTR270-02 is the only authorized power source for SDT200 ATEX
version.
The max. permissible room temperature is:
o-15°C to 50°C for T3.
o-15°C to 60°C for T2.
Potential danger of static electricity for the display. Avoid electrostatic
charge:
oAvoid friction.
oNo dry cleaning.
Do not use USB connectivity in dangerous area.
Do not use SDT carrying case in dangerous area

Charging the battery
The SDT200 uses an internal NiMH battery. The battery charger outlet will connect to a socket on
the bottom side of the SDT200.
Charging the battery of the SDT200 ATEX version must exclusively be performed
outside potentially explosive environments.
Due to the typical self-discharge rate of NiMH batteries it is recommended to
charge the SDT200 battery at least every 3 months, even if it is not used.
It is recommended not to store the SDT200 with an uncharged battery for more
than a few weeks. This would significantly reduce the battery life span.
Only use the charger provided by SDT.
The charging time will typically be 6 hours. When the LED of the charger is continuously green, the
SDT200 battery is completely charged.
Like most batteries these days, leaving the SDT200 charging after the charger says it is charged does
not hurt the battery –in fact it very slowly tops the charge up a little more.
You can charge the SDT200 switched off. You can also trickle charge the SDT200
switched on, so you can be using it to load and unload data, for example, and charge
it at the same time.
SDT200 bottom side
SDT Universal charger for SDT200
A fully charged battery will give you about 8 hours of continuous use. This will vary of course
depending upon your need to use the backlight and the power drain of certain external sensors that
you might be using.
You can increase the autonomy by adjusting the Auto Power Down and the time before
switching off the backlight.

Turning on & turning off the SDT200
To turn on:
Press the Power button on the bottom right of
the keypad. The status LED will shine dark blue.
Then, a few seconds later you will see on the
screen the SDT logo and the message “loading”. If
you do not see this display your battery might be
flat.
To turn off:
Push the Power button on the bottom right of
the keypad. You will see the following display:
Confirm the device shut down by pressing the
Enter button.
Plug & unplug an external sensor
The SDT200 is equipped with a LEMO
connector, used to plug external sensors.
It is a commonly used industrial connector,
considered for its reliability and robustness. It
have a sprung-loaded knurled barrel and
mechanical polarisation to go only in one way
round.
To plug a LEMO connector:
Line up the red dot on the plug with the red mark on the connector.
Insert the plug into the connector without any rotating movement.
When an external sensor is connected to the SDT200, it is automatically selected. Howerver, you
can switch between available sensors using the F1 button.
To unplug the LEMO connector
Move up, towards the cable, the ring located on the bottom of the plug.
Only pull the connector without any rotation.
Please, never pull on the cable itself.

Recommended calibration intervals
SDT recommends annual recalibration of SDT instruments and annual verification of sensors.
This periodicity is coherent with the observed long-term stability of SDT electronic equipment’s.
However
-For new equipment leaving the factory the initial period is extended to 15 months
instead of 12 (to avoid any possible discrimination between users due to transportation time, customs
clearance, etc.)
-SDT recognizes that each customer may have their own Quality Assurance Standards and internal
requirements. If a customer has established a Quality Assurance Program that includes a documented
procedure for measurement deviations,
and if an instrument and the relevant sensor show acceptable deviations
and do not show signs of physical damage, then calibration periodicity could be extended to two years.
-Third party organizations having more authority (Class, or State Administrations) may
have defined their own regulations for example 6 months, or 2 years calibration interval:
by evidence, local legally applicable regulations supersede SDT rules.
For these reasons, SDT Calibration Certificates do no more mention a “calibration due date”,
but simply the “last calibration date”.
For user convenience, the date of the last calibration of an SDT200 or 270 instruments
can also be found in the menu screens.

Destruction and recycling of waste
equipment
In conformance with European Union (EU) Directives and in particular with Directive 2006/66/EU
"Batteries" and Directive 2012/19/EU "WEEE –Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment", SDT
International is organizing the management of waste equipment. However local legal regulations
have precedence.
Thus SDT Customers may
Either transfer a waste apparatus to a local company
that will recycle it in accordance with applicable local laws
Or return the waste apparatus to SDT International or to a SDT Dealer
For an apparatus that contains a battery, SDT International will transfer the battery to a
local company that will recycle it in accordance with EU "Batteries" Directive and Belgian
laws.
SDT International will transfer the rest of the apparatus to a local company that will recycle it in
accordance with EU "WEEE" Directive and Belgian laws.
