BATH FLUIDS
Fluids used in this unit 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 unit is equipped with a soft cutout (user settable firmware) and a hard cutout.
Check the flash point, boiling point, or other fluid characteristic applicable to the
circumstances of the unit operation. Ensure that the soft cutout is adjusted to the fluid
characteristics of the application. DO NOT exceed the boiling or flash temperatures of
the fluid being used.

Cautions

DO NOT overfill the bath. Overflowing liquid may damage the electrical system. Be
sure to allow for thermal expansion of the fluid as the bath temperature increases. See
Section 5.3, Bath Preparation and Filling, for specific instructions.
Read Section 6, Bath Use, before placing the unit into service.
DO NOT change the values of the bath calibration constants from the fac tory set
values. The correct setting of these parameters is important to the safety and proper
operation of the unit.
The Factory Reset Sequence should be performed only by authorized personnel if
no other action is successful in correcting a malfunction. You must have a copy of the
most recent Report of Test to restore the test pa rameters.
Most probes have handle temperature limits. Be sure that the probe handle temperature
limit is not exceeded in the air above the instrument.
The instrument and any thermometer probes used with it are sensitive in struments that
can be easily damaged. Always handle these devices with care. Do not allow them to
be dropped, struck, stressed, or overheated.
Operate the instrument in room temperatures as listed in Section 3.2, Environmental
Conditions. Allow sufficient air circulation by leaving at least 6 inches of space be-
tween the instrument and nearby objects.
Overhead clearance needs to al low for safe and easy insertion and removal of probes
for calibration.
Use only clean fluid with the instrument.
The Micro-Bath is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed for optimum
durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with care. Always carry the
unit in an upright position to prevent the liquid from spilling out. The convenient
fold-up handle allows one hand carry ing. The instrument should not be operated in
excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty environments. It is important to keep the well of
the instrument clean and clear of any foreign matter. Do not operate near flammable
ma terials.
