High voltage is used in the operation of this equipment. Severe
injury or death may result if personnel fail to observe the
safety precautions. Before working inside the equipment, turn
off the power and disconnect the power cord.
Fluids used in this bath may produce noxious or toxic fumes
under certain circumstances. Consult the fluid manufacturer's
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). Proper ventilation and
safety precautions must be observed.
The instrument is equipped with a soft cutout (user settable
firmware) and a hard cutout (set at the factory). Check the
flash point, boiling point, or other fluid characteristic
applicable to the circumstances of the bath operation. Ensure
that the soft cutout is adjusted to the fluid characteristics of
the application. As a guideline, the soft cutout should be set
10 °C to 15 °C below the flash point of the bath fluid. See
Section 8.1, Heat Transfer Fluid, for specific information on
bath fluids and Section 9.8, Cutout.
Always operate this instrument at room temperature between
41 °F and 122 °F (5 °C to 50 °C). Allow sufficient air circulation
by leaving at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance around the
instrument.
DO NOT overfill the bath. Overflowing fluid may damage the
electrical system. See Section 5.3, Bath Preparation and
Filling, for specific instructions.
Read Section 6, Bath Use, before placing the bath into service.
DO NOT change the values of the bath calibration constants
from the factory set values. The correct setting of these
parameters is important to the safety and proper operation of
the bath.
The refrigeration may be damaged or the lifetime shortened if
the set-point temperature is set above 60 °C for more than one
hour with the refrigeration manually on. Ensure that the
refrigeration is off when the bath is used above 60 °C.
The Factory Reset Sequence should be performed only by
authorized personnel if no other action is successful in
correcting a malfunction. You must have a copy of the most
recent Report of Test to restore the test parameters.
DO NOT operate this instrument in an excessively wet, oily,
dusty, or dirty environment.
