6 Testing process / Calibration
CAUTION! Risk of burns!
The calibrator can become very hot when in operation. Touching hot parts can result in
serious injuries.
Never touch the metal block, the tank, the adapter sleeve or the test specimen at
temperatures above 35 °C or below 10 °C (95 °F or below 50 °F).
Allow the calibrator to cool before you remove the test specimen, clean the tank,
change the adapter sleeve or the calibration insert or switch off the calibrator.
IMPORTANT! Allow the calibrator to warm up before first calibration!
Allow the calibrator to warm up for at least an hour before the first calibration. This can
be achieved during the calibrator approaches the first testing point, for example.
