period of 2 hours before it can be assumed to meet all of the safety re-
quirements of the IEC 1010-1. If the product is wet or has been in a wet
environment, take necessary measures to remove moisture prior to apply-
ing power such as storage in a low humidity temperature chamber operat-
ing at 50°C for 4 hours or more.
•
Overhead clearance is required. Do not place the instrument under a cabi-
net or other structure. Always leave enough clearance to allow for safe
and easy insertion and removal of probes.
•
The instrument is intended for indoor use only.
•
The unit is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed for opti-
mum durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with care.
Position the unit before the tank is filled with fluid by rolling it into place.
Do not attempt to carry the bath.
DO NOT move a unit filled with fluid
(see Section 5.1, Moving or Uncrating the Bath).
BURN HAZARD
•
Extremely cold temperatures may be present in this equipment. Freezer
burns and frostbite may result if personnel fail to observe safety precau-
tions.
•
High temperatures may be present in this equipment. Fires and severe
burns may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions.
•
The drain tube and dust cover of the fluid expansion reservoir may be hot.
Handle them carefully and always be sure the drain tube is fully inserted
into the elbow of the dust cover.
•
The drain tube of the fluid expansion reservoir is not designed to handle
large flow rates encountered by overfilling the tank. It is intended for ex-
panding fluid rates from heating only. Fill the tank only until the level
reaches the top of the baffle (see Figure 1 on page 13).
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
•
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that the safety mechanisms
in this instrument will operate properly. This instrument must be plugged
into a 115 VAC (230 VAC optional), AC only electric outlet. The power
cord of the instrument is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug
for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult
a qualified electrician. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug.
•
DO
use a ground fault interrupt device. This unit contains a fluid. A
ground fault device is advised in case fluid is present in the electrical sys-
tem and could cause an electrical shock.
•
Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the correct rat-
ing and type. If you have questions, contact an Authorized Service Center
(see Section 1.3).
