General Precautions

Before turning on the instrument, carefully read the instructions contained in

this manual.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Carefully follow the installation and operation procedures.

Respect safety warnings on the instrument and in this manual.

The Ectane®2 should only be used by qualified personnel.

When carrying the Ectane 2, it is the user’s responsibility to make sure that

the safety precautions used are in accordance with the local department of

transportation’s (or equivalent governing body) rules and regulations.

The electrical plug shall only be inserted in a power outlet providing a

protective earth contact. You must not negate the protective action by using an

extension cord (power cable) without a protective conductor (grounding).

Grounding one conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not sufficient protection.

The instrument must only be connected to a power source corresponding to the

type indicated on the rating plate.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Eddyfi NDT, Inc., the

protection provided on the equipment may be rendered ineffective.

Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the

instrument.

Service instructions, when applicable, are for trained service personnel only.

To avoid dangerous electric shock, do not perform any service unless qualified

to do so. For any problem or question regarding this instrument, contact

Eddyfi NDT, Inc., or an authorized Eddyfi NDT, Inc. representative.

Battery Charger Precautions

Note The battery charger is optional.

Do not expose the battery charger or its power supply to water or liquids. The

charger case is not sealed.

Do not open the battery charger or power supply case. They contain no user-

serviceable parts.

Do not cover the fan exhaust or obstruct airflow; this would cause overheating.

Use only the included power supply and observe terminal polarity.

Place the charger away from external heat sources.

Marking and Symbols

The following symbols can appear on the instrument, and pertain to safety

regulations that should be followed carefully.

The exclamation mark label is used as a general warning sign. It

indicates that you should refer to this user manual to obtain the

information necessary to ensure the proper protection of the instrument

and its users.

The lightning flash with arrowhead label is used as a high voltage sign.

It indicates the presence of hazardous voltages (within the product

enclosure or accessible externally) that can be of sufficient magnitude to

constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Always refer to the user

manual to ensure proper protection and safe practices.

The RoHS Compliant symbol signifies that this product complies with

RoHS directive 2002/95/EC. This directive prohibits the use of lead,

mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chrome, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB),

or polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in certain classes of electrical

and electronic units as of July 1, 2006.

The “Crossed-Out Wheeled Bin” label is a reminder to dispose of this

product in accordance with local WEEE regulations. This electronic

instrument was manufactured according to high quality standards to

ensure safe and reliable operation when used as stated in this manual.

Due to its nature, this instrument may contain small quantities of

substances known to be hazardous to the environment or to human

health if released in the environment. For this reason, Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never be
