Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of
the correct rating and type. If you have questions,
contact an Authorized Service Center (see Section 1.3).
•
High voltage is used in the operation of this equipment.
Severe injury or death may result if personnel fail to
observe the safety precautions. Before working inside
the equipment, turn off the power and disconnect the
power cord.
•
Fluids used in this bath may produce noxious or toxic
fumes under certain circumstances. Consult the fluid
manufacturer's MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet).
Proper ventilation and safety precautions must be
observed.
•
The instrument is equipped with a soft cutout (user
settable firmware) and a hard cutout (set at the factory).
Check the flash point, boiling point, or other fluid
characteristic applicable to the circumstances of the
bath operation. Ensure that the soft cutout is adjusted to
the fluid characteristics of the application. As a
guideline, the soft cutout should be set 10 °C to 15 °C
below the flash point of the bath fluid. See Section 7.2,
Heat Transfer Fluid, for specific information on bath
fluids and Section 9.8, Cutout.
•
To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow
these guidelines.
•
Use only a grounded AC mains supply of the appropriate
voltage to power the bath. The bath requires 3 amps at
115 VAC ( ±10 %), 50/60 Hz (1.6 amps at 230 VAC
[ ±10 %], 50/60 Hz, switchable).
•
Always operate the bath in room temperatures between
5-45 °C (41-113 °F). Allow sufficient air circulation by
leaving at least 6 inches of space between the bath and
nearby objects. Overhead clearance needs to allow for
safe and easy insertion and removal of probes for
calibration.
•
The bath is equipped with operator accessible fuses. If a
fuse blows, it may be due to a power surge or failure of a
component. Replace the fuse once. If the fuse blows a
second time, it is likely caused by failure of a component
part. If this occurs, contact Hart Scientific Customer
Service. Always replace the fuse with one of the same
rating, voltage, and type. Never replace the fuse with one
of a higher current rating.
•
If a mains supply power fluctuation occurs, immediately
turn off the bath. Wait until the power has stabilized
before re-energizing the bath.
