2. Applications and Safety Regulations

2.1 Operating Temperatures

- The loggers can be used in the temperature range between -35° and +55°C. However, it becomes increasingly difficult
to read the display when the temperature falls below -20°C.
- Lithium battery passivation, due to long-term use at temperatures above 40°C, can result in temporary read problems
(self-discharge protection). This can be rectified by repeated evaluation.
- Long-term use at low temperatures below -35°C does not present any problems, but may reduce the quality of the display.
- We can not guarantee that the logger will always function properly if it is implemented at temperatures below -40°C.
Experience has shown that the battery freezes at approx. -50°C, that it is no longer possible to perform measurements
and that the timer tracking function can be temporarily interrupted. To make further operation possible, the logger must
be reprogrammed when room temperature is reestablished.
- Temperatures exceeding 55°C can result in permanent discoloration of the display.
- Temperatures exceeding 70°C can result in deformation of the housing.
2.2 Exceptional Environmental Conditions
Pay attention to the following when loggers are used under exceptional environmental conditions:
- UV rays diminish the stability of the housing
- IR radiation (warmth) and superheated steam can result in deformation of the housing
- A vent hole into the battery cover (Ø 2mm) should be drilled at negative pressures of <0.4 bar absolute.
- There is a risk that the battery may explode if the logger is used in conjunction with microwaves
2.3 Precautionary Measures for Handling Units with Lithium Batteries
- Do not short-circuit batteries or throw into fire: Danger of explosions
- Do not subject the batteries to mechanical stress and do not dismantle them. The leaking battery fluid is highly corrosive
and lithium can generate severe heat when it comes into contact with moisture or it can ignite fire.
- Do not heat up battery-driven units to temperatures exceeding 100°C: Danger of explosions
- Avoid violent knocks and blows
- Follow the manufacturer's specifications for battery storage

At temperatures above 45°C the self-discharge of the battery increases, service-
able life will be reduced by approximately 1/3.
