Caution…
The insertion tube must
always
be removed from the
calibrator after use.
The humidity in the air may cause verdigris to form on the
insertion tube inside the instrument. There is a risk that the
insertion tube may become stuck if this is allowed to
happen.
Warning
(all models)
Never
leave hot insertion tubes that have been removed
from the calibrator unsupervised – they may constitute a
fire hazard.
If you intend to store the calibrator in the optional
aluminium carrying case after use, you
must
ensure that
the instrument has cooled to a temperature
below
100°C/212°F
before placing it in the carrying case.
Do not touch the well or insertion tube when these are
deep frozen – they can create frost-bites.
5.8.1
Transporting the dry-block calibrator
Caution…
The insertion tube
must
be removed to avoid damage to the
instrument if the calibrator is to be transported long
distances.
5.8.2
Transporting the liquid bath calibrator
Before transporting the fluid it must be cooled down to a temperature
near ambient.
It is possible to move the liquid bath calibrator, when it is filled with
fluids.
The transportation lid is used to reduce the risk of spilling.
As the lid is not completely fluid tight it is advisable to emptying the well
completely before any transportation is attempted (see section 5.2).
