Introduction
Fluke’s Hart Scientific Division Metrology Wells (9170, 9171, 9172, and 9173) are designed to be
stable heat sources that can be used in a laboratory or field environment. With a calibrated display
and an optional built-in reference thermometer input (designated with “–R”), Metrology Wells
may also be used as a reference standard.
Metrology Wells feature interchangeable probe sleeves that fit various sized diameter probes.
The Metrology Wells’ controller uses a PRT sensor and thermoelectric modules or heaters to
achieve stable, uniform temperatures throughout the block.
The LCD display continuously shows many useful operating parameters including the block
temperature, block stability, heating and cooling status, and current set-point. The temperature
may be easily set with the control buttons to any desired temperature within the calibrator’s
specified range.
Metrology Wells are designed for laboratory perfo rmance that can be used anywhere. With proper
use, the instrument will provide continued accurate calibration of temperature sensors and devices.
Before use, the user should be familiar with the warnings, cautions, and operating procedures of
the calibrator as described in the Getting Started Guide.

can arise.
If the instrument is used in a manner not in accordance with the equipment design, the operation of
the Metrology Well may be impaired or safety hazards may arise.
This instrument is intended for indoor use only.
BURN HAZARD
Each Metrology Well is equipped with a Block Temperature Indicator (front panel LED HOT
indicator – Patent Pending) even when the instrument is unplugged. When the indicator is
flashing, the instrument is not powered and the temperature of the block is above 50°C. When the
indicator is illuminated, always on, the instrument is powered and the block temperature is above
50°C.
DO NOT turn the instrument upside down with the inserts in place; the inserts will fall out.
DO NOT operate near flammable materials.
917X Series Metrology Wells
Getting Started
DO NOT touch the well access surface of the instrument.
The block vent may be very hot due to the fan blowing across the heater block of the Metrology
Well.
The calibration well temperature of the Metrology Well is the same as the actual display
temperature, for example, if the instrument is set to 700°C and the display reads 700°C, the well is
at 700°C.
The air over the well can reach temperatures greater that 200°C for high temperature (400°C and
higher) Metrology Wells.
Probes and inserts may be hot and should only be inserted and removed from the instrument when
the instrument is operating at temperatures below 50°C.
DO NOT turn off the instrument at temperatures higher than 100°C. This could create a hazardous
situation. Select a set-point less than 100°C and allow the instrument to cool before turning it off.
The high temperatures present in Metrology Wells designed for operation at 300°C and higher
may result in fires and severe burns if safety precautions are not observed.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that the safety mechanisms in this instrument will
operate properly. This instrument must be plugged into a 115 VAC (230 VAC optional), AC only
electric outlet. The power cord of the instrument is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug
for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug.
If supplied with user accessible fuses, always replace the fuse with one of the same rating, voltage,
and type.
Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the correct rating and type.
HIGH VOLTAGE is used in the operation of this equipment. SEVERE INJURY or DEATH may
result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions. Before working inside the equipment, turn
power off and disconnect power cord.
Cautions
To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow these guidelines:

CE Comments
Component lifetime can be shortened by continuous high temperature operation.
DO NOT apply any type of voltage to the switch terminals. Applying a voltage to the terminals
may cause damage to the controller.
DO NOT use fluids to clean out the well. Fluids could leak into electronics and damage the
instrument.
DO NOT introduce any foreign material into the probe hole of the insert. Fluids, etc. can leak into
the instrument 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 sheath or sleeves into the well. This type of action can cause a shock to
the sensor and affect the calibration.
The instrument and any thermometer probes used with it are sensitive instruments that can be
easily damaged. Always handle these devices with care. DO NOT allow them to be dropped,
struck, stressed, or overheated.
DO NOT operate this instrument in an excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty environment. Always
keep the well and inserts clean and clear of foreign material.
The Metrology Well is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed for optimum
durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with care. Always carry the instrument in
an upright position to prevent the probe sleeves from dropping out. The convenient handle allows
for hand carrying the instrument.
If a mains supply power fluctuation occurs, immediately turn off the instrument. Power bumps
from brown-outs could damage the instrument. Wait until the power has stabilized before reenergizing the instrument.
The probe and the block may expand at different rates. Allow for probe expansion inside the well
as the block heats. Otherwise, the probe may become stuck in the well.
Most probes have handle temperature limits. Be sure the air temperature above the Metrology
Well does not exceed the probe handle’s temperature limit. If the probe handle limits are
exceeded, the probe may be permanently damaged.

Block Temperature Indicator (Patent Pending) (6)
The block temperature indicator lamp allows users to know when the block temperature is above
50°C.
Front Panel Display
The front panel display is shown in detail in Figure 3 on page 21 and its features are described
below.
Control Focus
The most recent block temperature measurement is shown in large digits in the box at the top of
the screen. While viewing the main screen, the left arrow key enables the control focus view. The
main control parameters are shown in the box at the bottom left of the screen. The current program
selected is shown in the box at the bottom right of the screen.
Reference Focus (-R models only)
The most recent reference thermometer measurement is shown in large digits in the box at the top
of the screen. While viewing the main screen, the right arrow key enables the reference focus
view. The main control parameters are shown in the box at the bottom left of the screen and the
current program selected is shown in the box at the bottom right of the screen.
Heating/Cooling Status
Just above the “PROGRAM” box there is a bar graph that will indicate HEATING, COOLING, or
CUTOUT. This status graph indicates the current level of heating or cooling if the instrument is
not in cutout mode.

Front Panel Buttons
Editing Windows
While setting up and operating the instrument, you are often required to enter or select parameters.
Editing windows appear on the screen when necessary to show the values of parameters and allow
you to change them.
Front Panel Buttons
The functions of the front panel buttons are described below and shown in Figure 3.
Soft Keys (2)
The four soft keys (F1–F4) just below the display are used to select menus or menu functions. The
functions of the soft keys are indicated in text just above the soft keys on the display. The
functions of the soft keys change depending on the selected menu. Pressing the “EXIT” key
allows the user to exit from a sub-menu or window and returns to the previous menu or main
screen.
Numeric Keys (3)
The ten number keys, the decimal point, and +/– keys are used to enter numeric data.
ENTER (7)
The “ENTER” key is used to enter a new parameter value or option or as a shortcut key to the setpoint menu while viewing the main screen. When the value of any parameter is changed
“ENTER” must be pressed to accept the new value. If the up/down arrow, exit or menu buttons are
pressed before “ENTER”, the cursor will leave the parameter and any changes made to it will be
canceled. Within a window with a list of parameters, pressing “ENTER” will also move the cursor
down to the next parameter. If the cursor is at the bottom of the list, pressing “ENTER” with or
without changing the parameter will exit the window. The “ENTER” button may also be used
during some operations to affirm or continue with an action or choice.
Note: The “ENTER” key must always be pressed after changing a parameter to accept the new
value or option.
MENU (8)
The menu key allows the user to access all parameter and settings menus. From the main menu,
the user can use the soft keys to access submenus and functions.
EXIT (9)
The “EXIT” key is used to cancel an operation, exit a window, as a shortcut key to the cutout
menu while viewing the main screen, or return from a lower menu to a higher menu. In any
window, pressing “EXIT” will immediately exit the window and go to the prev ious window or
917X Series Metrology Wells

menu. If a parameter is entered or changed and “EXIT” is pressed before “ENTER”, the change
will be canceled. During some operations the “EXIT” key may be used to cancel the operation. If
a cutout condition exists, press the “EXIT” key to access the Cutout menu. To reset the cutout,
select the “RESET CUTOUT” parameter and select “YES” using the 4 or 5 keys. Press
“ENTER” to reset the Cutout.
°C/°F (10)
The “C/F” key allows the user to change the display units from Celsius to Fahrenheit and viceversa while viewing the main screen.
Up/Down (21)Arrows (11)
The up and down arrow keys have three functions: move the cursor through a list of parameters in
a window, scroll through parameters list that is longer than can be displayed, and, while viewing
the main screen, change the contrast of the display.
Note: Parameter entry will abort if the up or down arrow key is pressed before “ENTER”.
Therefore, the up or down arrow keys can be used to cancel a parameter change.
Left/Right (4 5) Arrows (11)
The left and right arrow keys have three functions: move from digit to digit while editing a
parameter, select or change an option for some parameters, and change focus from control to
reference or from reference to control. Remember, “ENTER” must always be pressed to save a
new value or option selected.
