Commissioning and operation
CAUTION! Risk of injury or material damage!
The calibrator can become very hot during operation. If the device is operated without
supervision, third-party persons in the vicinity could get injured. Moreover, flammable
material could get into the device and cause significant damage to property.
Never leave the calibrator unattended when it is in operation or in the cooling phase.
For safe operation of the calibrators of the TP 28 1300 E series, a proper commissioning pro-
cedure is necessary.
Commissioning includes the installation, the electrical connections as well as correct switch-
ing on and off of the device.
Further, a visual inspection for damage is required before use.
The required steps are described in the following sections.
IMPORTANT!
Please also follow the instructions for intended use (
§ 1.2), the safety instructions
(
§ 2) and the information on the ambient conditions (
p. 53).
4.1
Operating conditions
Select a safe installation site for commissioning the device.
Installation site and operating position:
Only suitable for indoor use, do not use outdoors.
Operate only in the vertical position on an even surface. The surface must be stable,
clean, and dry.
If the operation positions do not conform to the above, the structural safety and the speci-
fied properties of the calibrator are not guaranteed.
At higher testing temperatures, please use a sufficiently big, fire-resistant supporting
surface.
Sufficient clearance around the device
On the front side > 1 m, behind and to the sides > 0.5 m. Head clearance and sufficient
clear space above the device.
Sufficient ventilation must be ensured.
Do not operate in the vicinity of flammable materials.
Do not install in a cupboard or other similar object.
The ventilation openings must not be blocked or covered.
The device must be so installed that it can be switched off at any time.
IMPORTANT! "KILL" switch!
The plug of the mains connecting cable serves as an "KILL" switch.
Ensure that the plug is always easily accessible and easy to reach.
In an emergency, pull the plug, so that the device is isolated from the mains.
