•
Before initial use, or after transport, or after storage in humid
or semi-humid 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 requirements 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 applying power such as storage in a low humidity
temperature chamber operating at 50 °C for 4 hours or more.
• DO NOT operate high temperature baths (500 °C) near
flammable materials. Extreme temperatures could ignite the
flammable material.
•
Overhead clearance is required. Do not place the instrument
under a cabinet 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.
•
The bath is a precision instrument. Although it has been
designed for optimum durability and trouble free operation, it
must be handled with care. Position the bath before the tank is
filled with fluid by rolling it into place. DO NOT attempt to lift
the bath. Due to the weight of the compressor, it may require
two people to safely move the bath. The area containing the
compressor will be heavier than the rest of the bath. DO NOT
move a bath filled with fluid.
BURN HAZARD
•
Extremely cold temperatures may be present in this
equipment. Freezer burns and frostbite may result if personnel
fail to observe safety precautions.
•
High temperatures may be present in this equipment. Fires
and severe burns may result if personnel fail to observe safety
precautions.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
•
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that the safety
mechanisms in this instrument will operate properly. This
instrument must be plugged into a 115 VAC, 60Hz (230 VAC,
50Hz optional), and AC only electric outlet. The power cord of
the instrument is equipped with a three-pronged grounding
plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance
with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug.
•
DO use a ground fault interrupt device. This instrument
contains a fluid. A ground fault device is advised in case fluid
is present in the electrical system and could cause an
electrical shock.
•
Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the
correct rating and type. If you have questions, contact an
Authorized Service Center (see Section 1.3).
