Alkaline (LR20 ‘D’ size): Duracell Procell; Duracell
Industrial; Duracell Plus; Energizer Ultra; Energizer
Industrial.
Rechargeable (LR20 ‘D’ size): Uniross 2600mAh NiMH.
AREAS OF USE
Do not use instrument in potentially hazardous atmospheres
containing greater than 21% Oxygen. The enclosure material
is polypropylene and must not be exposed to environments
which are liable to result in mechanical or thermal degradation
or to damage caused by contact with aggressive substances.
Additional protection may be required in environments where the
