Performing testing process:
During the testing process, one or more test points are approached and the reference
temperature of the calibrator is compared with the measured temperature of the specimen.
Set the set temperature to the value of the first test point.
The temperature control regulates the metal block or the calibration fluid to the
temperature of the test point.
Wait until the temperature has been reached and is sufficiently stable for your checking.
Also note that the temperature of the specimen is stable and transients are finished.
Write down the reference temperature and the temperature of the specimen for your test
protocol.
Set the calibrators gradually to the set values of the further test points and proceed as
described above.
Terminate / cancel testing process:
If the testing process has to be terminated or cancelled, the calibrator must be brought in a
safe operational state.
Set the set temperature to a low value e.g. room temperature.
Wait until the calibrator has sufficiently cooled down.
Don’t let the calibrator unattended at high temperatures.
After the testing process:
Allow the calibrator to cool to room temperature.
Note the instructions in the section "Switching on, cool down and switching off" (
§ 4.4).
If necessary drain the tank or tub insert of the micro bath calibrator with the drain pump.
Clean the calibrator (
§ 8.2).
