2.2 Proper use
The "ProofMaster" leak tightness testing device is used exclusively for
testing the water resistance of watches by means of positive and
negative pressure.
The ProofMaster can be used to check the water resistance of both
digital watches and analogue or pocket watches in accordance with the
watch manufacturer's specifications.
You can also use the ProofMaster to build up positive pressure in the
case of a leaky watch to then find the leak by testing it in water.
85 mm
30 mm70 mm
The device is intended for watches with the following maximum
dimensions:
• Diameter: 70 mm
• Thickness: 30 mm
• Width: 85 mm
Proper use also includes observing all the information in the manual.
Any use that deviates from the proper use is considered improper use.
CAUTION
Risk of injury if the device is used improperly!
Improper use of the ProofMaster can result in hazardous situations.
2.3 Safety sign
The parts of the device which represent a danger are marked with a
safety label.
Mandatory
Make sure that the safety labels on the device are clearly
legible and clean!
If the labels become dirty or illegible over time, so that hazards can no
longer be identified or service instructions can no longer be followed,
they must be replaced with new ones and affixed to the same place.

2.3.1 Labels on the device
The stickers listed below are affixed to the ProofMaster.
Calibration of the Proof-
Master
The calibration instruction on the underside of the device shows when
the device needs to be recalibrated. For a reliable measurement result,
the specified date for the next calibration must be observed.
Info
The reliability of the measurement results is guaranteed by
regular calibration of the ProofMaster.
Maximum supply pressure This sticker is located next to the connection point of the compressed air
supply. The maximum supply pressure must not exceed 12bar.
2.3.2 Labels on the power supply unit
The labels below are affixed to the power supply unit.
Electrical and electronic
components
The electrical and electronic components in the device contain toxic
substances. The device must therefore be disposed of in a recycling
depot or by a specialised company.
CE conformity The "CE" marking confirms that this product complies with the
European requirements regarding safety, health, environmental and
user protection.
2.4 Residual risks
Compressed air The compressed air devices can be dangerous if they are disconnected
when compressed air is present. A pressurised line that is disconnected
can cause the air to escape extremely quickly as a result of the escaping
pressure, thus posing a danger, especially to the eyes and face.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from compressed air!
If compressed air escapes uncontrolled, there is a risk of injury.
• Take care when working on the compressor or the compressed air
hoses.
Prohibition
Do not exceed the maximum supply pressure of 12bar!
Device components could otherwise burst.
