DryTC / Liquid TC Safety Instructions
General safety instructions:
Always observe the following safety instructions in this operating manual.
In all work, the existing national regulations for accident prevention and safety in the
workplace must be complied with. Any internal regulations of the operator must also be
complied with, even if these are not mentioned in this manual.
Only use the DryTC / LiquidTC if it is in perfect condition. Damaged or faulty devices must be
checked without delay and, if necessary, replaced.
Degree of protection according to EN 60529:
Ensure that the ambient conditions at the site of use does not exceed (comply with) the
requirements for the stated protection rating ( § 14 "Technical data").
Correct and safe operation of the calibrator / micro calibration bath demands correct
transport, storage, installation and assembly, as well as proper use and careful operation and
maintenance.
The calibrator / micro calibration bath should only be used for its intended purpose.
Furthermore, hazardous media should not be used and all technical specifications have to be
observed.
If faults cannot be cleared, immediately shut down the calibrator / micro calibration bath and
ensure that it cannot be started up
Prior to replacing the safety fuse, always de-energize the calibrator / micro calibration bath
accidentally.
completely by disconnecting the mains cable from the mains outlet.
Ensure that the complete operating instructions are always available in excellent condition
the
calibrator / micro calibration bath installation site.
Thermal
fuse:
For protection purposes, the calibrator / micro calibration bath is equipped with an
autonomous thermal fuse, which interrupts the power supply to the heater if the temperature
exceeds a certain value inside the housing. Once the metal bock / liquid bath has cooled down,
the calibrator / micro calibration bath has to be returned to GE for inspection.
The calibrator / micro calibration bath has been designed as a measurement and control
instrument. If the calibrator / micro calibration bath is used for purposes not
expressly
specified in these operating instructions, additional safety measures have to be taken.
The calibrator / micro calibration bath should NOT be used in explosive atmospheres without
appropriate protection (flammable or explosive atmospheres).
If malfunctioning of the calibrator / micro calibration bath can result in personal injuries or
damage to property, the system has to be protected with additional electromechanical
protective equipment.
at
Do not remove or obliterate nameplates or other markings on the device, as otherwise the
warranty is rendered null and void.
Ventilation ports:
Located both underneath and on top, should not be blocked or restricted.
Disconnecting device:
Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the disconnecting device.

Device protection:
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired
Replacing detachable mains supply cords:
It is not allowed to replace detachable mains supply cords by inadequately rated cords.
IEC mains connector:
The IEC mains connector of the power supply cord is to be treated as the disconnect device,
as the front panel switch is not rated as a disconnect device.
Special safety instructions:
(Further) Warnings that are specifically relevant to individual operating procedures or activities
can be found at the beginning of the relevant sections of this operating manual.
2.1 Safety
instructions for the application of calibration liquids
Calibration liquid water:
Only use distilled water, otherwise excessive limescale and soiling will build up in the
calibrator tank.
Calibration liquid silicone oil:
Only use distilled water, otherwise excessive limescale and soiling will build up in the calibrator
tank.
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

after use.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
The transport cover is equipped with a safety valve, which is activated once the pressure
reaches approx. 2.5 bar. This can result in hot steam being released.
Always unscrew the transport cover before putting the micro calibration bath into service,
in order to avoid excessive pressure.
Wait until the micro calibration bath has cooled down before screwing on the transport
cover.

performed with minimal effort.
easily
4.1 Metal block ca
librator
Insertion sleeves with one or more boreholes are used for the calibration of straight temperature
sensors.
In order to achieve the best possible accuracy, the utilization of exactly fitting sleeves is
necessary.
The diameter of the test specimen has to be determined precisely. The bore in the sleeve results
from the addition of +0.5 mm.
Before use:
Using the sleeve changing tool, fit the
appropriate insertion sleeve in the block of
the calibrator.
After use:
Remove the sleeves after use with the aid of
the sleeve remover, and remember to clean
the sleeve and the block.
This prevents the sleeves becoming jammed
in the heating block.

4.2 Infrared ca
librator
A special infrared insertion sleeve is used for contactless infrared thermometers to enable fast,
easy calibration.
The hollow and specially constructed insertion sleeve is fitted
with two additional boreholes - for precise monitoring of the
temperature - in the rim (1 x 3.5 mm und 1 x 4.5 mm).
Before use:
The insertion sleeve is inserted into the block with the aid
of the sleeve remover.
After use:
Remove the sleeves after use with the aid of the sleeve
remover, and remember to clean the sleeve and the block.
This prevents the sleeves becoming jammed in the heating
