METHOD OF USE
*
Ensure that the measuring area is not live. The instrument is not insula-
ted; during measurement with non-insulated probes ensure that it does
not come in contact with live surfaces with a voltage of more than 24V.
This could be dangerous for the instrument but especially for the opera-
tor who could receive an electric shock.
*
Do not expose the probes to gases or liquids which could corrode the
material with which the probes are covered. Ensure that the type of
material with which the probe is made (POCAN - Alumina/Platinum) is
compatible with the environment in which the measurement is to be
taken.
*
Do not bend or deform the probes as this could cause irreparable damage.
*
Always use the most suitable probe for the measurement to be taken.
*
Be careful with the range of use of the probe, measurements at limit
values are possible only for short periods.
*
In order to obtain a reliable measurement, avoid too sudden variations in
temperature.
*
Measurements on non metal surfaces require a great deal of time on
account of their low heat conductivity.
*
Always clean the probe carefully after use.
*
The instrument is resistant to water but it is not watertight and should not
therefore be immersed in water. If it should fall into the water, take it out
immediately and check that no water has infiltrated.
*
Avoid taking measurements in the presence of high frequency sources,
microwaves or large magnetic fields, as the results would not be very
reliable.
LOW BATTERY WARNING AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the battery voltage falls below a certain level, the
H
symbol appears on
the display. From that moment there remains about 1 hour autonomous
operation. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise,
if the voltage falls even further, the data shown are no longer correct; the
battery symbol disappears. The battery used is an ordinary 9V zinc-carbon
battery, IEC6LF22.
