Setting into operation

Positioning the USN 52R/USN 52L

It is imperative that you observe the instructions given in this chapter before setting the instrument into opera- tion.

Here you will be informed about the necessary prepara- tions before startig the instrument for the first time in order to avoid any damages or wrong measurement results.

3.1Positioning the USN 52R/ USN 52L

Refer to Chapter 9 concerning the permitted ambient conditions, such as temperature and humidity. Position the instrument on a smooth surface so that the display can be easily read.

If the instrument is taken from a cold area into a warm area, you should wait until it has adjusted to the tem- perature before switching on (avoids condensation).

3.2 Power supply

There must be sufficient power in order to guarantee operation.

The instrument can be operated with batteries or on mains power via a special instrument charger.
