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, theinstrument needs to be energized for a "dry-out" period of 2 hours
before itcan be assumed to meet all of the safety requirementsof theIEC
1010-1. If the product is wet or has been in a wet environment, takenecessary
measures to removemoisture prior to applying power such as storage in a low
humiditytemperature chamber operating at 50°C for 4 hours or more.
Followall safety guidelines listed in this user's guide.
CalibrationEquipment should only be used by Trained Personnel.
To avoid possible burn hazards, follow these guidelines.
This instrument can measure extremetemperatures. Precautions must be taken
to preventpersonal injury or damage to objects. Probes may be extremely hot
or cold. Cautiouslyhandle probes to prevent personal injury. Carefully place
probes on a heat/cold resistant surfaceor rack until they reach room
temperature.
1.2.2 Cautions
To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow these guidelines.
DO NOTchange the values of the calibration constants from the factory set
valuesunless y ou are recalibrating the instrument. The correct setting of these
parametersis important to the safety and proper operation of the instrument.
Allowsufficient air circulation by leaving at least 3 inches of space between the
thermometerand nearby objects.
ForCE compliance and for performance, use only the AC adapter shipped with
the instrument. If the ACadapter needs to be replaced, contact an Authorized
Service Center.
This instrumentand thermometer probes are sensitive and can be easily dam-
aged. Alwayshandle these devices with care. DO NOT allow them to be
dropped, struck, stressed,or overheated.
Probes arefragile instruments which can be damaged by mechanical shock,
over-heating,and absorption of moisture or fluids in the wires or hub. Damage
may not be visibly apparent but nevertheless can cause drift, instability,and
loss of accuracy.Observe the following precautions:
DO NOTallow probes to be dropped, struck, bent, or stressed.
DO NOToverheat probes beyond their recommended temperature range.
DO NOTallow any part of the probe other than the sheath to be immersed in
fluid.
DO NOTallow the probe hub or wires to be exposed to excessive
temperatures.
