1.2 Safety Information
Use this instrument only as specified in this manual. Otherwise, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired.
The following definitions apply to the terms “Warning” and “Caution”.
• “Warning” identifies conditions and actions that may pose hazards to the
user.
• “Caution” identifies conditions and actions that may damage the instru-
ment being used.
-
1.2.1
Warnings
To avoid personal injury, follow these guidelines.
BURN HAZARD – DO NOT touch the well access surface of the unit. The
temperature of the well access is the same as the actual temperature shown on
the display. If the instrument is set at 140°C and the display reads 140°C, the
well is at 140°C.
DO NOT remove inserts at high temperatures. Inserts are the same temperature
as the display temperature. Use extreme care when removing hot inserts.
DO NOT operate this unit without a properly grounded, properly polarized
power cord.
DO NOT connect this unit to a non-grounded, non-polarized outlet.
HIGH VOLTAGE is used in the operation of this equipment. SEVERE IN
JURYORDEATHmay result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions.
Before working inside the equipment, turn the power off and disconnect the
power cord.
Always replace the fuse with one of the same rating, voltage, and type.
Overhead clearance is required. DO NOT place this instrument under a cabinet
or other structure.

1 Before You Start
Authorized Service Centers
DO NOT use this unit for any application other than calibration work.
DO NOT use this unit in environments other than those listed in the user’s
guide.
DO NOT turn the unit upside down with the inserts in place; the inserts will
fall out of the unit.
DO NOT operate near flammable materials.
Use of this instrument at HIGH TEMPERATURES for extended periods of
time requires caution.
Completely unattended high temperature operation is not recommended for
safety reasons.
1.2.2
Before initial use, after transport, and anytime the dry-well has not been ener
gized for more than 10 days, the calibrator must be energized for a dry-out pe
riod of 1 to 2 hours before it can be assumed to meet all of the safety
requirements of the IEC1010-1.
Follow all safety guidelines listed in the user’s manual.
Calibration equipment should only be used by Trained Personnel.
Cautions
To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow these guidelines.
• Components and heater lifetime can be shortened by continuous high
temperature operation.
• Allow for test probe expansion inside the well as the dry-well heats.
• DO NOT use fluids to clean out the well.
• Never introduce foreign material into the probe hole of the insert. Fluids,
etc. can leak into the calibrator causing damage.
•
DO NOT change the values of the calibration constants from the factory
set values. The correct setting of these parameters is important to the
safety and proper operation of the calibrator.
-
-
•
DO NOT slam the probe stems into the well. This type of action can
cause a shock to the sensor and affect the calibration.
•
DO use a ground fault interrupt device.

2 Introduction
The Hart Scientific 9103 Dry-well may be used as a portable instrument or
bench top temperature calibrator for calibration thermocouples and RTD tem
perature probes. The 9103 is small enough to use in the field and accurate
enough to use in the lab. With an ambient temperature of 23°C (74°F), calibra
tions may be done over a range of –25°C to 140°C (–13°F to 284°F). The reso
lution of the 9103 temperature display is 0.1 degrees.
The calibrator features:
Convenient handle
•
RS-232 interface
•
Universal AC input
•
Built in programmable features include:
• Temperature scan rate control
2 Introduction
-
-
-
• Temperature switch hold
• Eight set-point memory
• Adjustable readout in °C or °F
The temperature is accurately controlled by Hart’s hybrid analog/digital controller. The controller uses a precision platinum RTD as a sensor and controls
the well temperature with pulsed driven Thermal Electric Devices (TED).
The LED display panel continuously shows the current well temperature. The
temperature may be easily set with the control buttons to any desired temperature within the specified range. The calibrator’s multiple fault protection devices insure user and instrument safety and protection.
The 9103 Dry-well was designed for portability, low cost, and ease of operation. Through proper use, the instrument will continuously provide accurate
calibration of temperature sensors and devices. The user should be familiar
with the safety guidelines and operating procedures of the calibrator as de
scribed in this user manual.
