• DO NOT operate high temperature baths (500°C) near flammable materi-
als. Extreme temperatures could ignite the flammable material.
• Overhead clearance is required. Do not place the instrument under a cabi-
net or other structure. Always leave enough clearance to allow for safe
and easy insertion and removal of probes.
• The instrument is intended for indoor use only.
• The bath is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed for op-
timum durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with care.
Position the bath before the tank is filled with fluid by rolling it into
place. DO NOT attempt to lift the bath. Due to the weight of the com-
pressor, it may require two people to safely move the bath. The area con-
taining the compressor will be heavier than the rest of the bath. DO NOT
move a bath filled with fluid (see Section 5.1, Moving or Uncrating the
Bath).
BURN HAZARD
• Extremely cold temperatures may be present in this equipment. Freezer
burns and frostbite may result if personnel fail to observe safety precau-
tions.
• High temperatures may be present in this equipment. Fires and severe
burns may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions.
• The drain tube and dust cover of the Fluid Expansion Reservoir may be
hot. Handle them carefully and always be sure the drain tube is fully in-
serted into the elbow of the dust cover.
• The drain tube of the Fluid Expansion Reservoir is not designed to handle
large flow rates encountered by overfilling the tank. It is intended for ex-
panding fluid rates from heating only. Fill tank only until the level reaches
the top of the baffle (see Figure 1 on page 14).
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
• These guidelines must be followed to ensure that the safety mechanisms
in this instrument will operate properly. This instrument must be plugged
into a 115 VAC, 60Hz (230 VAC, 50Hz optional), AC only electric outlet.
The power cord of the instrument is equipped with a three-pronged
grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordi-
nances. Consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT use an extension cord or
adapter plug.
• DO use a ground fault interrupt device. This instrument contains a fluid.
A ground fault device is advised in case fluid is present in the electrical
system and could cause an electrical shock.
• Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the correct rat-
ing and type. If you have questions, contact an Authorized Service Center
(see Section 1.3).
