Special safety instructions:
Thermal fuse!
The calibrator is equipped with a temperature fuse that works independently. If there is
an over-temperature in the inside of the housing, the power supply to the heating system
is cut off. The calibrator cannot then be started any more.
After it has cooled, send the calibrator for inspection to SIKA.
Risk of injury from hazardous gases!
When liquids are heated, the evaporation can result in dangerous gases being formed.
The calibrator may not be used in an explosion-endangered atmosphere (ignitable or ex-
plosive atmosphere).
Remove all the easily flammable media from the vicinity of the calibrator.
Ensure that the calibrator cannot come in contact with easily flammable or explosive
media.
Operate the calibrator only in the temperature range permissible for the test sample.
Ensure that the test sample is securely fixed in the calibrator.
Use only suitable adapter sleeves or calibration inserts.
When doing so, also ensure that the structural safety of the calibrator is retained.
Expert mode!
When selecting the function, test sample and testing tasks, you can switch into the expert
mode for administration and configuration. The settings that are made in this mode re-
quire detailed knowledge of the calibration and method of working of calibrators.
If the settings are incorrect, the calibrator can get damaged!
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
The transport cover is equipped with a safety valve, which is activated once the pressure
reaches ~1.5 bar. This can result in hot steam being released.
Always unscrew the transport cover before putting the micro bath into service, in or-
der to avoid excessive pressure.
Wait until the micro calibration bath has cooled down before screwing on the
