temperature calibration. Any other use of the instrument
may cause unknown hazards to the user.
• DO NOT use the instrument in environments other than
those listed in the user’s guide.
• DO NOT overfill the bath. Overflowing extremely cold or hot
fluid may be harmful to the operator. See Bath Preparation

• Calibration Equipment should only be used by Trained
Personnel.
• If this equipment is used in a manner not specified 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 environments, 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 1010-1. 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 operate high temperature baths (500°C) near
flammable materials. Extreme temperatures could ignite the
flammable material.
• Overhead clearance is required. Do not place the
instrument under a cabinet or other structure. Always leave
enough clearance to allow for safe and easy insertion and
removal of probes.
