Before You Start Safety Information 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 use this instrument for any application other than calibration work. The instrument was designed for temperature calibration.
917X Series Metrology Wells Safety Information DO NOT turn off the instrument at temperatures higher than 100°C. This could create a hazardous situation. Select a set-point less than 100°C and allow the instrument to cool before turning it off. The high temperatures present in Metrology Wells designed for operation at 300°C and higher may result in fires and severe burns if safety precautions are not observed.
1.4 CE Comments 1.4.1 EMC Directive Fluke’s equipment has been tested to meet the European Electromagnetic Compatibil- ity Directive (EMC Directive, 89/336/EEC). The Declaration of Conformity for your instrument lists the specific standards to which the instrument was tested. The instrument was designed specifically as a test and measuring device. Compliance to the EMC directive is through IEC 61326-1 Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use –...
Class B equipment. The instrument was not designed to be used in domestic establishments. 1.4.4 Low Voltage Directive (Safety) In order to comply with the European Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC), Fluke’s equipment has been designed to meet the IEC 1010-1 (EN 61010-1) and the IEC 1010-2-010 (EN 61010-2-010) standards. 1.5 Authorized Service Centers www.itm.com...

Sleeves of various sizes are available from Fluke Calibration. The well must be clear of any foreign objects, dirt and grit before the sleeve is inserted. The sleeve is inserted with the two small tong holes positioned upward.
Quick Start Display 3.3 System Setup Before using the instrument, the parameters in this section need to be setup (Main Menu: SYSTEM|SETUP MENU). 3.4 Display Language Select the preferred language (English, French, or Chinese) using the right/left arrow keys and press “ENTER” to accept the selection. Decimal The decimal of the numbers in the instrument can be either a comma or decimal.
917X Series Metrology Wells Setting the Temperature Stability Alarm (STAB ALARM) The audible alarm described in “Stability Limit” is turned on or off using this param- eter. Select either “On” or “Off” using the right/left arrow keys and press “ENTER” to accept the selection.
Quick Start Reference Probe (-R models only) 3.6.1 Probe Connection A PRT is the only type of probe that is supported by the reference thermometer input. The PRT (RTD or SPRT) probe connects to the reference thermometer input using a 5-pin DIN connector.

If no coefficients can be found, contact the manufacturer or vendor of the probe for assistance. If the probe is out of calibration, Fluke offers calibration services. Contact an Authorized Service Center for assistance on obtaining a calibration for the probe.
Parts and Controls Back panel 4 Parts and Controls This section describes the exterior features of the Metrology Well. 4.1 Back panel The following are found on the back of the Metrology Well (see Figure 2 ). Figure 2 Metrology Well back panel view Power Cord Plug (1) The power supply cord attaches to the back panel.
917X Series Metrology Wells Front panel Power Switch (2) The power switch is located on the power entry module of the unit at the bottom left of the back panel. Serial Connector (3) The serial connector is a 9-pin subminiature D type located on the back panel. The serial (RS-232) interface can be used to transmit measurements and control the opera- tion of the Metrology Well.
Parts and Controls Front panel Block Temperature Indicator (U.S. Patent 7,561,058) (6) The block temperature indicator lamp allows users to know when the block tempera- ture is above 50°C. Figure 3 Metrology Well front panel view 1.888.610.7664 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
917X Series Metrology Wells Front Panel Display 4.3 Front Panel Display The front panel display is shown in detail in Figure 3, on previous page and its fea- tures are described below. Control Focus The most recent block temperature measurement is shown in large digits in the box at the top of the screen.

Parts and Controls Front Panel Buttons Numeric Keys (3) The ten number keys, the decimal point, and +/– keys are used to enter numeric data. ENTER (7) The “ENTER” key is used to enter a new parameter value or option or as a shortcut key to the set-point menu while viewing the main screen.
917X Series Metrology Wells Accessories NOTE: Parameter entry will abort if the up or down arrow key is pressed before “ENTER”. Therefore, the up or down arrow keys can be used to cancel a parameter change. Left/Right (4 5) Arrows (11) The left and right arrow keys have three functions: move from digit to digit while editing a parameter, select or change an option for some parameters, and change focus from control to reference or from reference to control.
