Calibration Bath
Before You Start

•
Before initial use, or after transport, or after storage in
humid or semi-humid environments, or anytime the
instrument has not been energized for more than 10 days,
the instrument needs to be energized for a “dry-out” period
of 2 hours before it can be assumed to meet all of the safety
requirements of the IEC 61010-1. If the product is wet or has
been in a wet environment, take necessary measures to
remove moisture prior to applying power such as storage in
a low humidity temperature chamber operating at 50
°
C for
4 hours or more.
•
DO NOT operate high temperature baths (500
°
C) near
flammable materials. Extreme temperatures could ignite the
flammable material.
•
Overhead clearance is required. Do not place the instrument
under a cabinet or other structure. Always leave enough
clearance to allow for safe and easy insertion and removal
of probes.
•
The instrument is intended for indoor use only.
•
The bath is a precision instrument. Although it has been
designed for optimum durability and trouble free operation,
it must be handled with care. This bath is not designed to be
portable. Therefore, moving the bath once it has been
installed should be kept to a minimum. Position the bath
before the tank is filled with fluid. DO NOT attempt to lift the
bath. Due to the weight of the compressor, it may require
four people to safely move the bath. The area containing the
compressor will be heavier than the rest of the bath.
•
DO NOT move a bath filled with fluid. This action could be
extremely dangerous and could result in personal injury to
the person moving the bath. The fluid can splash causing
injury or if the bath and cart tip, the fluid could cause
damage to the surrounding area and personal injury to
personnel.
