5.1 Storing and transporting the calibrator
Caution…
The following guidelines should always be observed when
storing and transporting the calibrator. This will ensure that
the instrument and the sensor remain in good working order
(all versions).
Warning
The calibrator must be switched off before any attempt to
service the instrument is made. There are no user serviceable
parts inside the calibrator.
Switch off the calibrator using the power control switch.
Note that the calibration procedure may be interrupted at any time
using the power control switch. Switching off the calibrator during the
calibration process will not damage either the instrument or the sensor.
Dry-block calibrators only
The following routine must be observed before the insertion tube is
removed and the instrument switched off:
Over 50°C/122°F
If the calibrator has been heated up to temperatures above
50°C/122°F, you must wait until the instrument reaches a
temperature below 50°C/122°F before you switch it off.
Below 0°C/32°F
(applies only to the RTC-156/157/158/159 A/B/C models)
Do not touch the well or insertion tube when these are
below 0°C/32°F - they might create frostbite.
If the calibrator has reached a temperature below
0°C/32°F, ice crystals may form on the insertion tube
and on the well. This, in turn, may cause the material
surfaces to oxidize.
