Safety Information
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user.
XWWarning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Do not alter the Product and use only as specified, or the protection supplied by the
Product can be compromised.
• Use this Product indoors only.
• Replace the mains power cord if the insulation is damaged or if the insulation shows
signs of wear.
• Disable the Product if it is damaged.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
• Use only the mains power cord and connector approved for the voltage and plug
configuration in your country and rated for the Product.
• Do not touch the IR target surface. The temperature of the IR target surface is the
same as the actual temperature shown on the display. If the Product is set at 500 °C
and the display reads 500 °C, the target surface is at 500 °C.
• Do not operate near flammable materials.
• The sheet metal of the Product may exhibit extreme temperatures for areas close to
the IR target surface.
• Overhead clearance is required. At least 1 m (39 in) overhead and 15 cm (6 in) around
the instrument is recommended. Do not place the Product under a cabinet or other
structure.
• Do not use this Product for any application other than calibration work.
• Use caution when you use of this instrument at high temperatures for extended
periods of time.
• Do not turn off the Product at temperatures >100 °C. Select a set-point <100 °C and
allow the Product to cool before you turn it off.
• If this Product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• Do not face the target towards a wall or other objects. The target emits high amounts
of heat and will cause burn and fire hazards.
• Do not operate the Product in excessively wet, oily, or dirty environments.
• Do not operate the Product in any orientation other than vertical (target face
perpendicular to installation surface).
• The Product has a Block Temperature indicator (front LED HOT indicator). The
flashing light means the Product is disconnected from power and the temperature of
the block is >50 °C. The solid light means the Product is powered on and the
temperature is >50 °C
