Safety Information
Follow all safety guidelines listed in the User’s Guide.
Calibration equipment should only be used by trained personnel.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Before initial use, or after transport, or after storage in humid or semi-humid environ-
ments, or anytime the instrument has not been energized for more than 10 days, the
instrument needs to be energized for a “dry-out” period of 2 hours before it can be
assumed to meet all of the safety requirements of the IEC 1010-2. If the product is wet
or has been in a wet environment, take necessary measures to remove moisture prior
to applying power such as storage in a low humidity temperature chamber operating at
50°C for 4 hours or more.
DO NOT use this instrument for any application other than calibration work. The
instrument was designed for temperature calibration. Any other use of the instrument
may cause unknown hazards to the user.
DO NOT place the instrument under a cabinet or other structure. Overhead clearance
is required. Always leave enough clearance to allow for safe and easy insertion and
removal of probes.
Use of this instrument at HIGH TEMPERATURES for extended periods of time
requires caution.
Completely unattended high temperature operation is not recommended due to safety
hazards that can arise.
This instrument is intended for indoor use only.
Follow all safety procedures for the test and calibration equipment you use.
Do not use the instrument if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When
in doubt, have the instrument serviced.
DO NOT operate the Field Temperature Block around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
DO NOT operate instrument at orientations other than upright. Tilting the instrument
or laying it down on its side during use could create a re hazard.
BURN HAZARD
The instrument is equipped with a Block Temperature Indicator (front panel LED
HOT indicator) even when the instrument is unplugged. When the indicator is ash-
ing, the instrument is disconnected from mains power and the temperature of the block
is above 50°C. When the indicator is illuminated, always on, the instrument is pow-
ered and the block temperature is above 50°C.
DO NOT turn the instrument upside down with the inserts in place; the inserts will
fall out.
