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
explosive 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.

calibrator tank.
Silicone oil:
Use only the silicone oil recommended here.
Always read the safety data sheet supplied with the silicone oil before using it.
Always ensure adequate ventilation when working with silicone oil, since hazardous
substances can be released.
Prevent silicone oil from coming into contact with your eyes.
Since silicone oil is hygroscopic, always use the transport cover to close the calibration
bath after use.
IMPORTANT NOTICE! Release of pollutants!
During the heating of the silicone oil at temperatures > 150°C in the presence of air,
small quantities of formaldehyde may be released.
Adequate ventilation is required, so that the permissible MAK value of 0.5 ppm in the 8-
hour average in the workplace during normal operation is not exceeded.
