4.3
Preparation 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.
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 machine.
IMPORTANT! Empty the tank and clean it!
With micro bath calibrators (TPM …), 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 inserts:
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.
Which measuring insert you can use in which calibrator type is shown in the table in § 3.2.
