4.3 Preparing of the calibrator
The preparations for the test task must be carried out with the calibrator switched off and
cooled to ambient temperature.
CAUTION! Risk of burns!
The calibrator can become very hot when in operation. Touching hot parts can result in
serious burn 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! Empty the tank and clean it!
The tank must be emptied and cleaned to prevent the adapter sleeve or the calibration
insert from getting stuck.
Empty and clean the tank before you insert another adapter sleeve or calibration
insert.
Measuring insert:
The function of the calibrator is determined by the measuring insert. The required measuring
insert is inserted in the opening of the metal block or the tank.
It is thus easily possible to switch between the dry block, infrared, surface and micro bath
functions.
Each measuring insert has its own characteristic values, which are defined at the factory.
These characteristic values are influenced by different factors, such as: Diameter, type and
material of the measuring insert, number and diameter of the bore holes or the physical
properties of the calibration liquid.
These characteristic values are stored as protected functions for the accompanying
measuring inserts of the calibrator (
§ 5.4).
