Safety information
DO NOT use the instrument for any application other than calibration
work. The instrument was designed for temperature calibration. Any other
use of the unit may cause unknown hazards to the user.
DO NOT use the unit in environments other than those listed in the user's
guide.
DO NOT overfill the bath. Overflowing extremely hot fluid may be harm-
ful to the operator. See Section 7.5, Filling the bath, for specific instruc-
tions.
Follow all safety guidelines listed in the user's manual.
Calibration Equipment should only be used by Trained Personnel.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Before initial use, or after transport, or after storage in humid or semi-hu-
mid environments, or anytime the instrument has not been energized for
more than 10 days, the instrument needs to be energized for a "dry-out"
period of 2 hours before it can be assumed to meet all of the safety re-
quirements of the IEC 1010-1. If the product is wet or has been in a wet
environment, take necessary measures to remove moisture prior to apply-
ing power such as storage in a low humidity temperature chamber operat-
ing at 50°C for 4 hours or more.
DO NOT operate high temperature baths (500°C) near flammable materi-
als. Extreme temperatures could ignite the flammable material.
Overhead clearance is required. Do not place the instrument under a cabi-
net or other structure. Always leave enough clearance to allow for safe
and easy insertion and removal of probes.
The instrument is intended for indoor use only.
Ensure that you check the appropriate OSHA and local fire code regula-
tions for proper equipment required to suppress a fire for the Salt utilized
in the bath.
BURN HAZARD
High temperatures may be present in this equipment. Fires and severe
burns may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions.
Ensure the bath DOES NOT contain any water and has been completely
dried prior to filling with salt. Any trapped water can cause a steam explo-
sion resulting in personal injury. If the bath has recently been filled with
water, ensure the inside of the drain tube is dry prior to filling the bath
with salt.
When immersing any object in the bath, ensure that you are not introduc-
ing anything into the bath that will react with the bath salt. Ensure that
probes are DRY and free of contaminants. Read the MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet) for the salt used. If you are still unsure if the material
you are going to introduce into the bath will react with the salt, refer to
