USE

The CurveX 3 Basic is placed in an insulated box before it passes through the oven. The instrument measures and registers the temperature at several places of the work piece. The preset paint type specification is evaluated against the temperature over time resulting in a clear cure pass or fail. The measurements are uploaded to a PC via the oven temperature data logger‘s USB port and analysed using the Ideal Finish software program.

 

 

SPECIAL CARE

• Though robust in design, this instrument is precision-machined. Never drop it or knock it over.

• Always clean the instrument after use. 

• Clean the instrument using a soft dry cloth. Never clean the instrument by any mechanical means such as a wire brush or 
  abrasive paper. This may cause, just like the use of aggressive cleaning agents, permanent damage. 

• Do not use compressed air to clean the instrument. 

• Always keep the instrument in its case when not in use.

• We recommend annual calibration.

Batteries in carry-on baggage (aircraft cabin)

 

The battery employed in our CurveX 3 Basic is a generic single cell Lithium-Ion battery, 3.7V 1400mAh. The battery employed in the CurveX 3 Basic has a capacity of 5.18 Watt-hours, and is rated for 

low-power use only. A protection circuitry has been applied to the CurveX 3 Basic mainboard as per best practice.

 

Based on US DOT regulations (49 CFR, Sec. 175.10), the CurveX 3 Basic battery satisfies all demands, most notably:

- The battery is non-replaceable for the end user and therefore does not classify as ‘spare’

- The battery is rated below 100 Watt-hours per battery

- The battery is protected from damage and short circuit

 

The battery is assembled into an end product and classified to be freely transported on aircraft both in carry-on and check-in luggage. When carried-on, please keep the provided product 

documentation with the device in order to be able to provide regulatory agencies relevant 

information about your device when requested.
