GB

Safety Information

DIGI+ and reagents should be operated by persons trained in the use and handling of hydrocarbon products, including 

new and used lubricants. Persons should also be familiar with basic laboratory or workshop environments and associated 

hazard awareness.
Prior to operating, DIGI+ should be inspected for damage. If any damage is found, consult with the supplier of DIGI+ 

accordingly.

CAUTION

A Caution notice is used to emphasise that particular care is required to avoid the danger of 

personal injury or other hazard.

CHECK

Notes call attention to information that is especially significant to understanding and operating 

the equipment. There may be a need to check the orientation or tightness of connections,                 

for example.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Some operations require special attention to safety, such as the use of safety glasses and / or 

protective gloves.

General

•  this information guide should be read in full before operating DIGI+
•  appropriate safety measures must be taken when handling both combustible and flammable liquids
•  no liquids outside of those defined in the 

technical specification

 should be used

Environment

•  DIGI+ must only be operated in well-ventilated areas
•  DIGI+ has not been approved for use in an explosive atmosphere

Handling

•  the USB socket cover must be fitted unless a micro-USB charging cable is plugged in
•  DIGI+ must be kept upright when adding reagents and oils
•  care must be taken to be a safe distance away from people and objects when shaking DIGI+
 

Operating

•  any spills should be immediately wiped from the surface of DIGI+ and surrounding work area using a soft cloth or tissue
•  safety protection may be impaired if DIGI+ is used in a manner, or for a purpose, other than that described in this  

    information guide

Only oil that contains < 20% water must be tested. DIGI+ warns of 
overpressure at 1.3 bar (18.8 psi): DIGI+ should be put down immediately 
and care taken when opening.
