DO NOT exceed maximum working pressure
To avoid injury, do not use the transducer with pressures above 500 psi / 34.5 bar.
DO NOT exceed maximum temperature
The lithium polymer (LiPo) battery inside the transducer can be damaged by
excessive heating. Do not store or operate the unit at temperatures above 60 °C
(140 °F).
DO NOT operate without covers
To avoid equipment damage and personal injury, do not operate this transducer
with the covers removed.
DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions
To avoid incorrect readings and possible equipment damage, do not operate this
transducer in wet or damp conditions or submerge it in liquid. The transducer is
splash-resistant but not immersion-proof.
DO NOT operate in an explosive atmosphere
To avoid personal injury and fire hazard, do not operate this transducer in an
explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT operate the transducer if damaged
If you suspect there is damage to this transducer, have it inspected by qualified
service personnel. Do not attempt to dismantle or repair it yourself.
DO NOT use with damaged pressure hoses
All the pressure hoses supplied by Pico Technology have been pressure-tested and
must not be used if they have been disassembled or damaged.
DO NOT use in long-term or permanent installations
The WPS500X is intended for immediate diagnostic purposes and not long-term or
permanent use. For example, it should not be connected to a race car as a
monitoring system.
DO NOT use on high pressure components of fuel systems
The high pressure from the mechanical fuel pump (usually found in the engine bay)
cannot be measured using the WPS500X. However, the pressure from the electronic
fuel pump (usually found between the fuel tank and the fuel filter) can be measured
using the WPS500X.
DO NOT use for running compression tests on diesel engines
The combination of high cylinder pressure and high combustion temperature may
cause permanent damage to the WPS500X and may also cause personal injury.
