2.2. Ensure safety
> Only operate the product properly, for its intended purpose and
within the parameters specified in the technical data. Do not
use any force.
> The testo 380 must be checked for any visible damage before
commissioning. Do not commission the testo 380 if there are
any signs of damage on the housing, mains unit or supply lines.
> Do not perform contact measurements on non-insulated, live
parts.
> Do not store the product together with solvents. Do not use any
desiccants.
> Carry out only the maintenance and repair work on this
instrument that is described in the documentation. Follow the
prescribed steps exactly. Use only original spare parts from
Testo.
> Any further or additional work must only be carried out by
authorised personnel. Testo will otherwise refuse to accept
responsibility for the proper functioning of the measuring
instrument after repair and for the validity of certifications.
> Only use the device in closed, dry rooms and protect it from rain
and moisture.
> Temperatures given on probes/sensors relate only to the
measuring range of the sensors. Do not expose handles and
feed lines to any temperatures in excess of 70 °C unless they
are expressly permitted for higher temperatures.

2 Safety and the environment
8
> The objects to be measured or the measurement environment
may also pose risks: Note the safety regulations valid in your
area when performing the measurements.
> The measurement system has been verified as a short-term
measuring instrument and should not be used as a safety
(alarm) instrument.
> Supervise the measurement system during operation.
> The measuring instrument can be operated in closed rooms.
The maximum allowable concentration (MAC) value for CO
of 30 ppm is attained by operating the measuring instrument
under the following boundary conditions after approx. 4.5 h
measuring time at the earliest (in cases where there is no air
exchange):
Room dimensions
(L x W x H)
3 m x 3 m x 2 m
Flue gas concentration 5000 ppm CO
> Do not store or transport any fluids in the transport case.
> Do not operate the instrument if there is condensation on the
housing.
WARNING
There is water in the transport case.
Risk of electric shock!
> Do not operate the measurement system.
> Check for fluids before each start-up.
> Do not store or transport any conductive incidentals (without
protective cover/container) in the transport case.
> Do not use mains cable if there is any external damage to it and
protect it from hot surfaces.
> Secure measurement system during transport in order to
prevent damage to the measurement system.

2.3. Protecting the environment
Before disposing of the product, the condensate trap must
be emptied and the condensate in the crude gas tube
disposed of in a suitable container.
> Dispose of faulty rechargeable batteries/spent batteries in
accordance with the valid legal specifications.
> At the end of its useful life, send the product to the separate
collection for electric and electronic devices (observe local
regulations) or return the product to Testo for disposal.

3.1. Use
The testo 380 must be used in conjunction with testo 330-2 LL.
The designation testo 330-2 LL includes the measuring instrument
• testo 330-2 LL/F, item no. 0632 3305 or
• testo 330-2 LL V2010, item no. 0632 3307.
The order no. is located on the label on the rear of the housing.
The testo 380 is a professional dust measuring instrument for
determining particulate matter concentrations. The measuring
instrument can be used to directly determine dust emissions in
g/m3on site from solid fuel systems.
The instrument is suitable
• for official measurements in accordance with the first German
Federal Imission Control Ordinance (BImSchV)
• as an adjustment aid for combustion processes
• for the approval test of individual room furnaces.
Changes in dust emissions, caused by a system's parameter
settings for example, can be directly recorded via the online
display.
Thus the particulate matter analyzer testo 380, in conjunction with
the testo 330-2 LL, constitutes a measurement system.
