SAFETY AND INSTALLATION
Please read all the information in this manual before using the Calibrator.
WARNING
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS: they can cause serious burns to operators and ignite
combustible material.
Cole-Parmer have taken great care in the design of these units to protect operators from hazards, but
operators should pay attention to the following points:
• USE CARE AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PROTECT HANDS.
• DO NOT use combustible substances near hot objects.
• DO NOT operate the instrument in the vicinity of inflammable liquids or gases.
• DO NOT place any liquid directly into the instrument.
Operator Safety
All operators of Cole-Parmer equipment must have available the relevant literature needed to ensure
their safety. It is important that only suitably trained personnel operate this equipment, in accordance
with the instructions contained in this manual and with general safety standards and procedures. If the
equipment is used in a manner not specified by Antylia Scientific Ltd. the protection provided by the
equipment to the operator may be impaired.
All Cole-Parmer instruments are designed to conform to international safety requirements and are fitted
with an over-temperature cut-out.
If a safety problem should be encountered, switch off the unit at the mains socket and remove the plug
from the electricity supply.
Installation
The unit should be carried using both hands. Never move or carry the instrument when in use or
connected to the mains electricity supply.
1. All Cole-Parmer instruments are supplied with a power cable; this may be integral or plug-in.
2.
Before connecting the instrument to the mains electricity supply, check the voltage
against the rating plate (located on the back of the unit).
Please note that the unit
must be earthed to ensure proper electrical safety.
Connect the mains cable to a
suitable plug according to the table below.

Note that units marked 230V on the rating plate work at 220V; units marked 120V work at 110V. In
both cases, however, the heating rate will degrade by approximately 8%.
3. Place the unit on a suitable flat bench or in a fume cupboard if required, ensuring that the air inlet
vents on the underside are free from obstruction.
