    The protected test tasks can be neither be deleted nor edited. They serve as templates for your own self-defined test tasks. They can be copied and then modified. This task must not be completed without specific training from Druck. You can define your own test tasks for different DUT or test sequences. These test tasks are directly saved in the calibrator and can be easily activated.

  • Page 20: Operating Conditions

    Ensure that the calibrator is always connected to a protective earth. Always use a known good mains cable with an appropriate power plug. Use only a Druck specified mains cable. Ensure that the mains outlet is adequately rated and has a protective earth connection.

  • Page 26 4.3.5.2 Sensor Cage and Magnetic Stirrer The sensor cage protects the magnetic stirrer. It prevents the DUT from stopping the magnetic stirrer from rotating. 1 Sensor cage. 2 Magnetic stirrer. Figure 10: Sensor Cage and Magnetic Stirrer The magnetic stirrer ensures a uniform temperature distribution in the calibration liquid. The user interface on the touch screen can be used to control the speed of the magnetic stirrer.
  • Page 27 • Always ensure adequate ventilation when working with silicone oil. Hazardous substances may be released. • Spilled or leaked silicone oil results in an extreme danger of slipping. Always clean up spills. • Silicone oil is hygroscopic. Use the work cover to seal the micro bath after use. Alternatively, remove the tub insert from the calibrator and use the transport cover to seal the tub insert.
