Safety Instructions
Warnings - identify action or conditions that may be hazards to the user.
Cautions - identify action or conditions that may damage the calibrator or the equipment under test.
Warning：
To prevent injury, please follow the instruction manual for use.
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, please do following:
1. General：
Before using the product, please read the manual, especially the "Safety Instructions" section.
Before using the thermocouple calibration furnaces, please install the insert and top insulation piece first,
otherwise the thermocouple calibration furnace could be damaged.
The insertion and removal of inserts should be performed when the temperature of the thermocouple
calibration furnace is 0 ~ 50 ℃.

12
The thermocouple calibration furnaces should be used by trained personnel only.
Check product exterior before use.
Read and follow all instructions carefully.
Before initial use, or after storage in humid environments, or anytime the thermocouple calibration furnace
has not been used for more than 10 days, the the thermocouple calibration furnace needs to be started
with "Dry-out" function over 2 hours first to meet all safety requirements and specifications, see section 5.3.
Do not use the product if it is damaged or operates incorrectly.
Do not use in flammable, high humidity, or dusty environments.
Turn off the power switch before unplugging the power cord.
2. High Temperature：
The Thermocouple Calibration Furnace has a high temperature warning symbol ,this symbol indicates when
the furnace itself temperature is over 50℃.

13
Verify the status of the high temperature indicator prior to each use to avoid potential harm when handling
the unit, probes and inserts.
The temperature of body furnace exceeds 50 ℃, please do not touch protective plate on the upper part of
thermocouple calibration furnace, never touch the high temperature parts inside the calibrator.
3. Electrical：
Double check the power connection, fuse model and installation before use.
Do not apply more than 30VAC or DC to any of the process calibrator inputs.
Do not use any test leads other than those provided with the furnace.
Disconnect all test leads before switching to other electrical measurement functions.
Due to the high pressure inside the dry body furnace during use, please do not disassemble furnace.
CAUTIONS：
To prevent instrument damage, please follow this user manual.

14
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or instrument damage, please follow these guidelines:
Do not shake, drop, or bump the calibrator while in use.
Do not use any power cord other than the one provided with the furnace.
Do not unplug the power cord while in use.
Do not clean the furnace with liquid, please contactAdditel for cleaning process.
Do not drop anything into the furnace. Slowly and carfully place inserts and probes into the thermocouple
calibration furnace. To avoid damaging the unit, it is best to use the insert removal tool when both inserting
and removing inserts.
Do not use the furnace, if it appears to have any issues, and contact Additel immediately.
Before an insert is used for temperature calibration, it should be heated to more than 1000 ℃for 90
minutes.

1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
Additel’s 875-1200 & 878-1200 Thermocouple Calibration Furnaces are the latest in a generation of intelligent
temperature calibration equipment from Additel. These calibrators move quickly from one temperature to the next
and are designed specifically to reduce measurement noise while providing portability and a wide temperature
control range with excellent uniformities. The large touch screen display, telescopic handle design, optional four
channel process option, external standard thermocouple temperature control help to support automated
calibration of thermocouples, temperature transmitters, temperature switches, and HART smart transmitters and
other instruments.
