abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Hart warrants that software will operate
substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been
properly recorded on non-defective media. Hart does not warrant that software will be error free or
operate without interruption. Hart does not warrant calibrations on Metrology Wells.
Hart authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user
customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Hart.

Introduction
Before You Start
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.

Safety Information
GENERAL
DO NOT use this instrument in environments other than those listed in the User’s Guide.
Inspect the instrument for damage before each use. DO NOT use the instrument if it appears
damaged or operates abnormally.
Follow all safety guidelines listed in this guide.
Calibration equipment should only be used by trained personnel.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.
Before initial use, or after transport, or after storage in humid or semi-humid environments, or
anytime the Metrology Well has not been energized for more than 10 days, the instrument needs to
be energized for a “dry-out” period of 2 hours before it can be assumed to meet all of the safety
requirements of the IEC 1010-2. If the product is wet or has been in a wet environment, take
necessary meas ures to remove moisture prior to applying power such as storage in a low humidity
temperature chamber operating at 50°C for 4 hours or more.
DO NOT use this instrument for any application other than calibration work. The instrument was
designed for temperature calibration. Any other use of the instrument may cause unknown hazards
to the user.
Completely unattended operation is not recommended.
DO NOT place the instrument under a cabinet or other structure. Overhead clearance is required.
Always leave enough clearance to allow for safe and easy inser tion and removal of probes.
Use of this instrument at HIGH TEMPERATURES for extended periods of time requires
caution.
Completely unattended high temperature operation is not recommended due to safety hazards that
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.
