CAUTION
•
Always operate the instrument in room temperatures listed in
the
Environmental Conditions
section. Allow sufficient air
circulation by leaving at least 15 cm (6 inches) of clearance
around the instrument.
•
DO NOT overfill the bath. Overflowing fluid may damage the
electrical system. See the
Bath Preparation and Filling
section,
for specific instructions.
•
Read the
Bath Use
section, before placing the bath into
service.
•
DO NOT turn the bath on without fluid in the tank.
•
DO NOT change the values of the bath calibration constants
from the factory set values. The correct setting of these
parameters is important to the safety and proper operation of
the bath.
•
The refrigeration may be damaged or the lifetime shortened if
the set-point temperature is set above 60
°
C for more than one
hour with the refrigeration manually on. Ensure that the
refrigeration is off when the bath is used above 60
°
C.
•
The Factory Reset Sequence should be performed only by
authorized personnel if no other action is successful in
correcting a malfunction. You must have a copy of the most
recent Report of Test to restore the test parameters.
•
DO NOT operate this instrument in an excessively wet, oily,
dusty, or dirty environment.
•
Most probes have handle temperature limits. Be sure that the
probe handle temperature limit is not exceeded in the air
above the instrument.
•
The instrument and any thermometer probes used with it are
sensitive instruments that can be easily damaged. Always
handle these devices with care. Do not allow them to be
dropped, struck, stressed, or overheated.
