inches (15cm) of clearance around the instrument.

 Component life time can be shortened by continuous high temperature operation.

 Use of this instrument at HIGH TEMPERATURES for extended periods of time

requires caution.

 Do not turn off the instrument at temperatures higher than 100˚C. This would create

a hazardous situation. Select a set-point less than 100˚C and allow the instrument

to cool before it turning OFF.

 The high temperatures present in dry-wells designed for operation at 300˚C and highe

may result in fires and severe burns if safety precautions are not observed.

 Do not leave the inserts in the instrument for prolonged periods. It may cause

damage due to high operating temperature of the instrument.

 Do not slam the probe sheath into the ‘well’. It may cause a shock to the sensor

and affect the calibration.

 This instrument and the thermometer probes are sensitive instrument that can be

damaged. Always handle those devices with care.

 Do not operate this instrument in an excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty

environment.

 Do not use the instrument if the cooling fan located at the back of the instrument is

out of order.

 Ensure a free supply of air to the Fan grill located at the back of the instrument.
  HOT SURFACE:

 Do not touch the ‘well’ access surface of the instrument.

 The block vent may be very hot due to the fan blowing across the heater block

of the instrument.

 Do not touch the ‘Well’ or the Insert while the calibrator is heating up, they may

be very hot.

 Do not touch the tip of the sensor when it is removed from the Insert /’well’, it

may be very hot.

 The air over the ‘well’ can reach temperatures greater than 200˚C for high

temperature (400˚C and higher) dry-wells. Probes and inserts may be hot and

should only be inserted and removed from the instrument, when the

instrument is set at temperatures less than 50˚C. Use extreme care when

removing hot inserts.
