plicable to all fluids used in the baths should be kept in close proximity to
the instrument.
• If the mains supply cord becomes damaged, replace it with a cord with
the appropriate gauge wire for the current of the bath. If there are any
questions, call a Fluke Calibration Authorized Service Center for more in-
formation.
• Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those rec-
ommended by Fluke, users should check with a Fluke Calibration Autho-
rized Service Center to be sure that the proposed method will not damage
the equipment.
• If the instrument is used in a manner not in accordance with the equip-
ment design, the operation of the bath may be impaired or safety hazards
may arise.
• The over-temperature cut-out should be checked every 6 months to see
that it is working properly. In order to check the user selected cut-out, fol-
low the controller directions (Section 8.8) for setting the cut-out. Both the
manual and the auto reset option of the cut-out should be checked. Set the
bath temperature higher than the cut-out. Check to see if the display
flashes cut-out and the temperature is decreasing.
CAUTION: When checking the over-temperature cut-out, be sure that the
temperature limits of the bath fluid are not exceeded. Exceeding the tem-
perature limits of the bath fluid could cause harm to the operator, lab, and
instrument.
Draining the Bath
The drain is located on the back of the bath. See Figure 4, Back Panel. Locate
the drain plug on the end of the drain tube. This drain plug is to be fluid tight
until the bath is drained.
The following information is helpful when draining the bath.
1.
Always use a container capable of holding the entire load of fluid. Use
safety equipment as appropriate.
2.
Drain water and low viscosity fluids at room temperature. Normal care
must be taken for fluids that may have corrosive or damaging effects on
the surrounding facility or equipment.
3.
High viscosity oils should be sufficiently low in viscosity to drain effec-
tively. Some oils, such as 710 silicone oil, may need to be heated to 80°C
to drain well. The viscosity affects how rapidly it drains as well as how
well it flows off of the walls. Appropriate temperature resistant contain-
ers and appropriate safety equipment such as face shields, gloves, and
body covering should be used.
