1.9.3
Be Careful Where It Is Used
•
The equipment is not for use in hazardous areas or in an environment close to flammable materials or
gases
•
The equipment must be used on a flat level surface, with adequate space around it for air flow and avoid
blocking ventilation slots
•
Ensure free space above the unit to avoid risk of burn or fire
•
The equipment should be used indoors, if used outside ensure ambient temperature is between 0-50°C
(32-122°F) and 0% to 90% (non-condensing) RH.
•
Orientate the calibrator in a way that allows easy access to the power switch, and to allow the cable to be
disconnected
•
Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration. Ensure it will not be subjected to dripping or
splashing liquids
1.9.4
Be Careful with Extremes of Temperature
•
In normal use the calibration volume, inserts and probes can become very hot and present a burn hazard
•
Do not remove inserts, probes or handle the equipment when it is hot or cold
•
Allow the equipment and accessories to reach a temperature between ambient and 70°C before switching
off or storing the equipment in its case
•
Do not use the equipment outside its recommended temperature range
•
Operating the equipment at extremes of temperature for extended periods may call for early replacement
of the heating or cooling assembly
1.9.5
Be Careful with Inserts
•
Only use inserts supplied with, or ordered specifically for this model
•
Do not handle inserts while they are very hot or cold
•
Inserts for low temperature models may melt and cause a fire if used in high temperature models
•
Only use Isotech inserts which are specially treated to avoid them from becoming stuck in the calibration
volume
•
Do not use powders, liquids or compounds in the insert; this may lead to the insert or probes becoming
stuck
1.10
Consider the Environment
The equipment should be recycled or disposed of in a proper way, following the Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) directive
