    It is especially designed for measurement and maintenance. It makes it possible to measure temperatures on site as well as in a laboratory. The UM RTD.2 features a large number of related functions which extend its range of application, in- cluding: •...
  • Page 8: Environmental Conditions

    The device was designed to operate safely if the instructions provided in the accompanying docu- ments are followed. Any other use may jeopardise the safety of the operator. Any use other than those specified in the instructions is therefore dangerous and forbidden. © SIKA • Ba_UMRTD.2_en • 01/2019 - 8 -...
  • Page 9: Making Measurements

    CAT II 60V: The notion of categories determines the maximum transient voltage that can be applied to the meas- urement inputs (it is also called overvoltage category). For the SIKA UM RTD.2, the maximum per- missible overvoltage is 60V (DC or AC) POL 2: The notion of pollution determines the clearance between circuits.
