14 - MC6-T Safety
Warnings Concerning Temperature
Using the Temperature Block
Warning: The MC6-T is a temperature calibrator which
has been designed for calibrating instruments with typical
industrial calibration procedures. It has not been designed for
prolonged use at a temperature setpoint. Very low and very high
temperatures may cause injuries if touched. Temperatures below
dew point may cause condensation on cold surfaces in high
humidity environments. If water gathers on top of the device,
wipe the excess liquid away with a clean cloth. Do not leave the
calibrator unattended. Always power off the calibrator when not
using it.
Warning: The areas marked with hot surface warning symbol
might be hot during usage of the calibrator and must not be
touched. Never leave the calibrator unattended while it is hot.
The hot warning symbol next to the screen will light up to
indicate when the Temperature Block is hot.
Warning:
A removable insert must not be removed from or
inserted to the Temperature Block when block temperature is
above 50 °C. Do not touch the insert when it is hot. Note that the
instruments to be calibrated may also be hot and must not be
touched during calibration.
Note: Use sensor heat shield when calibrating sensors at
temperatures above 150 °C to protect the handle and internal
structures of the sensor.
Warning: Any heat-transfer media, such as oil or paste, must
not be used with a dryblock calibrator. Make sure that the
Temperature Block boring is clean. If necessary, use a soft wipe
or compressed air to clean it.
Warning: Avoid handling flammable objects or liquids near the
calibrator as they might catch fire.
