Erratic behaviour!
On suspicion that the product can no longer be operated without danger, it must be
decommissioned and prevented from recommissioning with appropriate labelling. The
safety of the user can be impaired by the device if, for example, if it shows visible
damage, it no longer works as specified or if it was stored for an extended period of
time under unsuitable conditions.
– Visual inspection!
– In case of doubt, send the product to the manufacturer for repair or maintenance!
NOTE
If the product is stored at a temperature above 50 °C, or is not used for an extended
period of time, the batteries must be removed. Leaks from the batteries are avoided as
a result.

7 | Bases for measurement TD320
16 / 24 B-H86.0.03.DB201-1.0
7 Bases for measurement
7.1 Sensor/device accuracy
The product has high system accuracy. This is achieved by calibrating the temperat-
ure sensor with the product when it is manufactured. This is achieved with precise
measuring technology and high-quality Pt1000 sensors.
7.2 Possible measuring errors
7.2.1 Immersion depth
Liquids Immerse to a depth of at least 20 mm and then stir. Otherwise, measuring errors can
occur due to the heat transmission of the sensor tube if the immersion depth is too
shallow.
7.2.2 Limit values
Temperature range
CAUTION
Destruction of the measuring sensor!
When conducting measurements in media with high or very low temperatures, there is
a risk that the measuring sensor is not designed for such extremes.
– The limit values must be observed!
TD320 Maintenance | 8

8 Maintenance
8.1 Operating and maintenance notices
NOTE
The product and temperature probe must be handled with care and used in accord-
ance with the technical data. Do not throw or strike.
NOTE
If the product is stored at a temperature above 50 °C, or is not used for an extended
period of time, the batteries must be removed. Leaks from the batteries are avoided as
a result.
8.2 Battery
8.2.1 Battery indicator
If the BAT display text blinks in the secondary display, the batteries are depleted and
must be replaced. However, the device will still operate for a certain length of time.
If the BAT display text appears in the main display, the battery voltage is no longer ad-
equate for operation of the product. Now the battery is fully depleted.
8.2.2 Changing battery
DANGER
Danger of explosion!
Using damaged or unsuitable batteries can generate heat, which can cause the batter-
ies to crack and possibly explode!
– Only use high-quality and suitable alkaline batteries!
CAUTION
Damage!
If the batteries have different charge levels, leaks and thus damage to the product can
occur.
– Use new, high-quality batteries!
– Do not use different types of batteries!
– Remove depleted batteries and dispose of them at a suitable collection point!
NOTE
Unnecessary screwing places the water-tightness of the product, among other things,
at risk and should be avoided.
8 | Maintenance TD320
18 / 24 B-H86.0.03.DB201-1.0
NOTE
Read the following handling instructions before replacing batteries and follow them
step by step. If disregarded, the product could be damaged or the protection from
moisture could be diminished.
Description Proceed as follows to replace the batteries.
Prerequisites – The product is switched off.
Instruction 1. Unscrew the Phillips screw.
2. Place the product on its rear side so that the display and controls are visible.
When changing the battery, leave the product in the horizontal position so that the
seal rings cannot fall out.
3. Carefully lift off the upper housing so that the controls are not damaged.
4. Carefully replace the two batteries. Ensure that the polarity is correct! It must be
possible to insert the batteries in the correct position without using force.
5. Check whether all seal rings and the seal in the housing are present and undam-
aged.
6. Carefully fit the upper housing, press it together and turn.
7. Tighten the Phillips screws.
Outcome of an action The product is now ready for use again.
