TRANSPORTATION OF TRANSMITTERS (all models):
Every transmitter contains a Lithium battery consisting of one Lithium Metal Cell which is
not replaceable or rechargeable.
Lithium batteries are considered hazardous material.
When shipping, observe all limitations for primary (non-rechargeable) lithium metal
batteries specified in the US national dangerous goods regulations contained in Code of
Federal Regulations Title 49 (49 CFR). The basis of the limitations for primary lithium
metal batteries (with a lithium metal content not exceeding 2g) contained in equipment
(UN 3091) is reflected in State Variations USG-02 (IATA).
Unless transmitters are in silent mode, they send out radio signals in regular time intervals which
could interfere with aircraft systems.
Put transmitters in Silent Mode before shipping, this will deactivate the transmitter:
All models besides WT-TX:
Short out probe wires
Model WT-TX:
Disconnect temperature sensor
Putting transmitters in Silent Mode when they are not used will also extend battery life.
OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES:
Transmitter function should be checked at least every 3 months or whenever false readings are
suspected, using the appropriate Test Unit for each model and following the test procedure.
The surface between the terminal posts on MCT-Transmitters (MCT-TX and MCT&WT-TX)
needs to be periodically cleaned of any deposits to ensure accurate readings. Deposits between
the terminal posts can lead to elevated EMC/MC-readings at the low end of the EMC/MC-
measuring range with detrimental effects on drying time and kiln energy consumption.
At the end of the life cycle of the transmitters, dispose in accordance with all Federal, State and
Local regulations.
