Safety Information
Calibration Equipment should only be used by Trained Personnel.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired or safety hazards may arise.
Inspect the instrument for damage before each use.
DO NOT
use the instru ment if it
appears damaged or operates abnormally.
Before initial use, or after transport, or after storage in humid or semi-humid
environments, or anytime the instrument has not been energized for more than 10
days, the instrument needs to be energized for a “dry-out” period of 2 hours before
it can be assumed to meet all of the safety requirements of the IEC 61010-1. If the
product is wet or has been in a wet environment, take necessary measures to remove
moisture prior to applying power such as storage in a low humidity temperature
chamber operating at 50°C for 4 hours or more.
The instrument is intended for indoor use only.
Lift the instrument by the handle provided to move the instrument.
DO NOT move
the instrument until the display reads less than 25°C (77°F) and the unit has been
drained or the Transport Lid installed.
BURN HAZARD
ALWAYS
ensure the instrument is
COOL
before closing the instrument for storage.
DO NOT
touch the well access surface of the unit.
DO NOT
mix water and oil when exceeding temperatures of 90°C (194°F).
DO NOT
mix water and oil when exceeding temperatures of 90°C (194°F). The
temperature of the well access is the same as the actual temperature shown on the
display, e.g. if the unit is set at 125°C and the display reads 125°C, the well is at
125°C.
Ensure the power cord is positioned in such a way as it cannot contact hot sur faces
or temperature probes. Always inspect power cord before use for any damage to the
insulation due to contact with hot surfaces, cuts or abrasions.
The top sheet metal of the instrument may exhibit extreme temperatures for ar eas
close to the well access.
DO NOT
turn off the unit at temperatures higher than 100°C. This could create a
hazardous situation. Select a set-point less than 100°C and allow the unit to cool
before turning it off.
DO NOT
remove the fluid at high temperatures. The fluid will be the same
temperature as the display temperature.
DO NOT
operate near flammable materials. Extreme temperatures could ignite the
flammable material.
Use of this instrument at
HIGH TEMPERATURES
for extended periods of time
requires caution.
