Always read the safety data sheet supplied with the silicone oil before using it.
Always ensure adequate ventilation when working with silicone oil, since hazardous
substances can be released.
Spilled or leaked silicone oil results in an extreme danger of slipping. Clean the
affected ranges by suitable means.
Since silicone oil is hygroscopic, always use the associated transport cover to
close the tank or the tub insert after use.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Only use clean calibration liquid. Checking temperature sensors and other temperature
detection means can lead to a contamination of the calibration liquid. This contamination
can lead to smeary gel effect on the bottom of the tank due to the rotation of the
magnetic stirrers.
Clean the tank.
Clean before calibration the sensors.
Exchange the worn magnet stirrer.
Exchange dirty, smeary calibration fluid.

Information on filling amounts
CAUTION! Risk of incorrect measurement or material damage!
Do not exceed the maximum fill level during operation!
•
Above the maximum fill level the heat dissipation is too great, preventing compliance
with the specified tolerances.
•
Overflow of the calibration liquid causes contamination and can damage the
calibrator.
Ensure that the maximum fill level is not exceeded during operation.
The fill level in the tank or tub insert rises as a result of
•
Thermal expansion
Calibration liquids expand to varying degrees as a
result of heating. The increase in fill level depends
on the calibration liquid that is used and the
reference temperature setting.
•
Displacement by sensors
The volume displaced by the sensors being
calibrated must be taken into account in the filling
amount.
•
Rise due to stirring
The rotation of the magnetic stirrer forms a
whirlpool in the liquid. This raises the fill level at
the wall.
