Contents checks The UC TC was checked mechanically and electrically prior to despatch. The necessary precautions have been taken to ensure it reaches the user without being damaged. Nonetheless, it is wise to perform a rapid check to detect any deterioration which may have occurred during transport.
It performs voltage and temperature measuring and emission functions (continuous or LF ramps). The UC TC features a large number of related functions which extend its range of application, including: •...
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, Dr. Siebert & Kühn GmbH & Co. KG, Struthweg 7-9, 34260 Kaufungen, Germany 6/40...
CAT II 60V: This notion of categories determines the maximum voltage which can be applied to the measuring inputs (it is also referred to as the overvoltage category). For the UC TC, the ceiling overvoltage is (DC or AC) POL 2: The notion of pollution determines the clearance between circuits.
All adjustments, maintenance and repair work on the open device must be avoided as much as possible and, when these are indispensable, they must be performed by qualified staff, who are well aware of the risks involved.
