Hazards
▶ Use only the batteries supplied or repla-
cement batteries provided by Deepfield
Connect. These batteries have been special-
ly designed for this device. Other batteries
may damage the device, start to leak, explo-
de, catch fire and injure nearby persons.
▶ Do not attempt to recharge the batteries
and do not short circuit them. This may
cause the batteries to leak, explode, catch
fire and injure nearby persons.
▶ Remove and dispose of used batteries
correctly. Used batteries may start to leak
and consequently damage the transmitter or
injure nearby persons.
▶ Do not damage the batteries and do not at-
tempt to disassemble them. This may cause
the batteries to leak, explode, catch fire and
injure nearby persons.
▶ Do not overheat the batteries and do not
throw them into a fire. This may cause the
batteries to leak, explode, catch fire and
injure nearby persons.
▶ Transmitter with wireless transmission! The
transmitter may interfere with pacemakers
and other sensitive devices. Keep the trans-
mitter away from pacemakers and other me-
dical implants. Do not bring the transmitter
into sensitive environments such as hospitals
or planes while it is switched on.
▶ Strong magnetic field! The magnet supplied
may interfere with pacemakers and other
sensitive devices. Keep the magnet away
from pacemakers, other medical implants
and other sensitive devices.
▶ Bright light! The magnet supplied contains
a powerful LED that can dazzle the eyes. Do
not look into the LED when it is switched on.
Do not direct the LED light at other persons.
▶ Penetrating moisture! The monitoring
station is not permanently waterproof.
Penetrating moisture can destroy the monito-
ring station. Do not submerge the monitoring
station in water for long periods.
▶ Exposure to fire and heat! Excessive heat
can damage the monitoring station or the
installed battery. If the battery is damaged,
it may emit toxic substances, catch fire, smo-
ke or explode. Keep the monitoring station
away from sources of heat and open flames.
Observe the operating temperature specified
in the technical data.
Field Monitoring | (17.12.19)
▶ Mechanical damage! Pointed objects such
as nails or screwdrivers or externally
applied forces can result in short circuits,
damaging the battery in the transmitter.
If the battery is damaged, it may emit toxic
substances, catch fire, smoke or explode.
Protect the monitoring station against dama-
ge. Damaged monitoring stations must no
longer be used.
▶ Modifications to the monitoring station!
Making modifications to the monitoring
station can result in short circuits or
hazardous malfunctions. Do not modify the
monitoring station in any way. Aside from the
battery, the monitoring station does not con-
tain any components that you can maintain
or replace. The monitoring station is not the
property of the operator or user.
▶ Damaged or entangled cables! Damaged
or entangled cables can result in short cir-
cuits. Do not misuse the cable for the purpo-
se of carrying or hanging up the monitoring
station or pulling the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, tools and agricultural machinery.
▶ Hazards caused by unauthorized use! The
nature of the devices design and compo-
nents can result in hazardous situations if
the monitoring station is used by unaut-
horized persons. Store unused monitoring
stations out of the reach of children. Do not
allow persons to use the monitoring station
who are not familiar with the device or who
have not read these operating instructions.
▶ Hazard due to small parts! Some of the
supplied parts are small and could be
swallowed by children. Store all parts out of
reach of children.
▶ Hazard due to sharp objects! The stake
supplied, the probes on the soil moisture
sensor and the transmitter bracket are
sharp and can cause injuries if not hand-
led carefully. Handle sharp components
with care. Only take the protective cap off
the transmitter bracket to push it into the
ground. Put the protective cap back on after
removing the transmitter bracket from the
ground.
