calibration. Any other use of the instrument may cause unknown hazards to the
user.
●
If the reference thermometer is used in a manner not in accordance with the
equipment design, the operation and the protection provided by the instrument
may be impaired. In addition, safety hazards may arise.
●
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the reference
thermometer, between the inputs, or between any input and earth ground (30 V,
24 mA max all terminals).
●
Follow all equipment safety procedures.
●
Calibration equipment should only be used by trained personnel.
●
The reference thermometer is intended for indoor use only.
●
Before you use the instrument, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors. Do
not use the reference thermometer if it appears damaged or operates abnormally.
Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the instrument serviced.
●
Always use an isolated RTD or PRT (metal sheath isolated from lead wires).

1.3.2 Cautions
To avoid possible damage to the reference thermometer or to equipment under test:
●
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the reference
thermometer, between the inputs, or between any input and earth ground (30 V
24 mA max all terminals).
●
Unless recalibrating the instrument DO NOT change the values of the
calibration constants from the factory set values. The correct setting of these
parameters is important to the safety and proper operation of the instrument.
●
The instrument and any thermometer probes used with it are sensitive
instruments that can be easily damaged. Always handle these devices with care.
DO NOT allow them to be dropped, struck, stressed, or overheated.
●
DO NOT operate this instrument in an excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty
environment.
●
Use the proper probes, function and range for your measurement.
●
Ensure probe coefcients are downloaded.
