Page 5: Safety Information
Safety Information The Fluke Model 53 and Model 54 Thermometers (“the thermometer”) are microprocessor-based, digital thermometers designed to use external J-, K-, T-, E-, R-, S-, and N-type thermocouples (temperature probes) as temperature sensors. Use the thermometer only as specified in this manual. - Page 6 Replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator ( ) appears. The possibility of false readings can lead to personal injury. Do not use the thermometer if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the thermometer serviced.
- Page 7 When servicing the thermometer, use only specified replacement parts. Do not use the thermometer with any part of the case or cover removed. Caution A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the meter or the equipment under test.
