CE Comments
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 calibrator.
DO NOT slam the probe sheath or sleeves into the well. This type of action can cause
a shock to the sensor and affect the calibration.
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 environ-
ment. Always keep the well and inserts clean and clear of foreign material.
The Metrology Well is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed for opti-
mum durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with care. Always carry
the instrument in an upright position to prevent the probe sleeves from dropping out.
The convenient handle allows for hand carrying the instrument.
If a mains supply power uctuation occurs, immediately turn off the instrument.
Power bumps from brown-outs could damage the instrument. Wait until the power has
stabilized before re-energizing the instrument.
The probe and the block may expand at different rates. Allow for probe expansion
inside the well as the block heats. Otherwise, the probe may become stuck in the well.
Most probes have handle temperature limits. Be sure the air temperature above the
Metrology Well does not exceed the probe handle’s temperature limit. If the probe
handle limits are exceeded, the probe may be permanently damaged.
1.4 CEComments
1.4.1 EMCDirective
Fluke’s equipment has been tested to meet the European Electromagnetic Compatibil-
ity Directive (EMC Directive, 89/336/EEC). The Declaration of Conformity for your
instrument lists the specic standards to which the instrument was tested.
The instrument was designed specically as a test and measuring device. Compliance
to the EMC directive is through IEC 61326-1 Electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use – EMC requirements (1998).
As noted in the IEC 61326-1, the instrument can have varying congurations. The
instrument was tested in a typical conguration with shielded RS-232 cables.
1.4.2 ImmunityTesting
The instrument has been designed and tested to meet electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory
use (IEC 61326-1) for controlled electromagnetic (EM) environments. To that end, the
following modications to the specications apply. For models 9170-R and 9171-R
in a disturbance radio frequency EM eld greater than 0.5 V/m in the frequency band
175-250 MHz, the Built-In Reference Input specications for resistance and tempera-
ture accuracy are unspecied.
