INTRODUCTION
Warning
• Thermometers are not designed to work on live electrical
samples.
• Do not use this instrument when voltages at the sample point
exceed 24VDC or 24Vrms.
• Do not make temperature measurement in microwave ovens.
Leaking microwaves may result in burns and serious injuries.
• Repeated sharp exing can cause the RTD sensor to break.
To prolong sensor life, avoid sharp bends in the thermocouple,
especially near the connector.
International Electrical Symbols
This symbol on an instrument indicates a WARNING and that
the operator must refer to the user manual for instructions before
operating the instrument. In a manual, the symbol preceding
instructions indicates that if the instructions are not followed, bodily
injury, installation/sample and product damage may result.
Risk of electric shock. The voltage at the parts marked with this
symbol may be dangerous.
