Safety Guidelines

•

Operate the instrument in room temperatures between 16–30°C

(61–86°F) (recommended). Allow sufficient air circulation by leaving at

least 3 inches of space between the thermometer and nearby objects.

Note: Accuracy specifications apply within the recommended operating

temperature range. Accuracy limits are increased by a factor of the tem-

perature coefficient outside this range.

•

The thermometer is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed

for optimum durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with

care. The instrument should not be operated in wet, oily, dusty, or dirty en-

vironments.

•

The instrument can measure extreme temperatures. Precautions must be

taken to prevent personal injury or damage to objects. Probes may be ex-

tremely hot or cold while connected to the thermometer and when re-

moved from the heat source. Cautiously handle probes to prevent

personal injury. Carefully place probes on a heat/cold resistant surface or

rack until they are at room temperature.

•

Use only a grounded AC mains supply of the appropriate voltage to power

the instrument. The thermometer requires less than 1 amp at 115 VAC

(±10%), 50/60 Hz and 230 VAC (±10%), 50/60 Hz.

•

Optional DC power of 10 to 14 V DC with 1 amp maximum.

•

If a mains supply power fluctuation occurs, immediately turn off the instru-

ment. Power bumps from brown-outs and black-outs can possibly dam-

age the thermometer. Wait until the power has stabilized before

re-energizing the instrument.
