Precautions for handling components
Always observe the following precautions to avoid operator injury and damage to the equip-
ment.
●
Probe
Warning
Do not point the tip of a needle-type standard probe or needle-type high-speed probe
at another person. The tip of the needle is very sharp and can cause injury.
Caution
• Do not touch the stylus (metal) of a probe which has just measured a hot object. A
hot stylus can cause a burn.
• Do not use a worn or damaged probe. Such probes cannot measure temperatures
correctly.
• Before removing the probe from the main unit, pull the probe away from the object
to be measured.
• If a needle-type standard probe or needle-type high-speed probe is used, stick it
into a measuring object half the dimension of the probe’s stylus (metal). If it is stuck
in too deeply, the operator may be burnt due to heat transfer to the probe grip. Also,
the probe itself may be damaged.
• The probe grip and the cable connected to the main unit must be maintained at a
temperature between -20
C and 50
C. They have a small heat resistance, unlike the
stylus (metal) of the probe.
●
Battery
Caution
If this instrument will not be used for a long period, remove the battery from the main
unit. Otherwise, the battery liquid may leak and damage the main unit or cause it to
malfunction.
