Fluke Datapaq TP3 User Manual page 36

○ First plug the battery charger into the mains, i.e. before
connecting the logger.
○ Charge batteries only within temperature range 5–45°C/41–113°F
(mains charger) or 0–85°C/32–185°F (PC's USB port).
○ Keep battery-packs clean and dry. Clean dirty connectors with a dry,
clean cloth.
○ Do not disassemble or crush battery-packs.
○ Do not put battery-packs near heat or fire, nor in sunlight.
○ If not used for an extended period, remove battery-pack from logger
to prevent battery-leakage and resultant damage.
• Do not use the logger, or other Datapaq equipment, in humid/wet
process environments or corrosive atmospheres unless specifically
approved for such use by Fluke Process Instruments. Damage to the
equipment may result.
• Never connect thermocouples to mains electricity, nor allow
thermocouples to touch an oven's heating elements. This could cause
major injury or death.
• Take care when handling thermocouple cables to avoid accidental damage
to the eyes by sharp thermocouple-tips.
• Use PTFE thermocouples only within their approved temperature
range. Use at higher temperatures produces irritant toxic fumes. See the
dedicated User Manual for your Datapaq Tracker system.
• Never carry the logger by holding the attached communications
lead or thermocouples. This can lead to injury by dropping the logger
onto your body, and may damage the lead, thermocouples or sockets.
• On removal from the oven, the thermal barrier and logger will be
hot enough to burn skin – even though their temperature will not be
apparent. Use protective gloves.
• Do not remove the logger from the thermal barrier by tipping it out of
the barrier. This can lead to injury by dropping the logger onto your
body, and may damage the logger.
• The user must on no account attempt any disassembly or repair
of the logger (other than to replace batteries, p. 17). Any such attempt
risks battery-leakage and may cause skin burns and respiratory irritation,
and will invalidate any existing warranty or service agreement with Fluke
Process Instruments. For information on the Datapaq Service
Department, see p. 63.
