Safety & Maintenance 

 

5.1.

 

Safety Instructions 

Please read the following safety instructions 

before

 using your 

biosignalsplux

 system with the 

ACC

 

sensor to prevent any damages or problems with the user, test persons and/or 

biosignalsplux

 devices. 

Violations of these instructions can lead to inferior signal quality and/or damages to the 

biosignalsplux

 

system and user. 
 

The user should always keep the device and its accessories dry. 
 

The user must turn off the 

biosignalsplux

 device and contact Technical Support if the system 

or accessories reach uncomfortable temperatures. 
 

The user should not use the 

biosignalsplux

 device in noisy environments (environments with 

microwaves and other similar equipment). Doing so will lead to noise increase in the acquired 
signals and Bluetooth connectivity issues. 
 

The user must not use the device near the fire or in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as 
atmospheres with flammable gas. 
 

The user should only use the detection surfaces or other approved accessories purchased from 

PLUX

 or by a 

PLUX

 agent. 

 

The  user  should  inspect  the  sensors  on  a  regular  basis  to  ensure  that  they  remain  in  good 
working order. 
 

The user should stop using the 

biosignalsplux

 device if experience any kind of discomfort or 

skin irritation. 
 

Do not use the system on persons with allergies to silver. 

The  user should  dispose  detection  surfaces  after  using  the 

biosignalsplux

  device. Detection 

surfaces  are  single-user  and  disposable.  Reusable  electrodes  should  be  reused by  the  same 
user. Do not use reusable electrodes on several users. 
 

The user must not place the device in the microwave. 
 

The user must not insert objects into the holes of the device. 
 

The user should not open the 

biosignalsplux

 device or its accessories. The repair of the same 

should be only done by properly authorized 

PLUX

 personnel.  

 

The user should make sure the cables do not obstruct the passage of people. 
 

The user should use the sensor cables with extreme caution to avoid risk of strangulation. 
 

The user should keep a safe distance between the 

biosignalsplux

 device and other devices to 

ensure their proper functioning. 

The user should only send the device to repair to qualified 

PLUX

 personnel.
