Chaos Dectector Circuit Board:
- Use the Chaos Dectector circuit board ONLY with themoelectric modules provided in the kit. DO NOT power circuit board with any other form of power supply, such as but not limited to any battery, bench power supply, or USB power supply. Powering the circuit board with any other type of supply, except the provided thermoelectric modules, CAN damage the circuit board.
- The circuit board is NOT water proof nor water resistant. We CANNOT guarantee any form of water resistance added to the circuit board when coating the circuit board with a silicone rubber sealant, provided in the kit. We CANNOT guarantee the circuit board will not be damaged if the circuit board is machine or hand washed inside the Chaos Dectector.
Thermoelectric Modules:
- Take care when handling the thermoelectric modules, as they are FRAGILE and prone to CRACKING, CHIPPING, and BREAKING. They may become SHAP when broken.
- PLEASE INSPECT the modules before opening them from their clear bubble wrap packaging. If a crack or chip is discovered, a replacement can potentially be arranged, ONLY if bubble wrap bag is unopened. A picture or video of the crack on the thermoelectric module will need to be presented to us to determine if a replacement should be provided. If a crack, chip, or break on the module is discovered after opening the bubble wrap bag, a replacement will not be issued.
- DO NOT machine wash the Chaos Dectector as the thermoelectric modules can break, leaving SHARP pieces of ceramic in the washer or dryer. Inaddition, we CANNOT guarantee the thermoelectric module will not be damaged if it is hand washed with the Chaos Dectector.
- Avoid powering the modules with any power supply. We cannot guarantee that they will get damaged if they are powered.
