1 Unpacking And Initial Inspection
Our Packing Department uses custom designed packaging to send out your unit, but as accidents
can still happen in transit, you are advised, after unpacking the unit, to inspect it for any sign of
shipping damage and confirm that your delivery is in accordance with the packing check list. If
you find any damage or that part of the delivery is missing notify us or our agent and the carrier
immediately. If the unit is damaged you should keep the packing for possible insurance
assessment.

2 Before You Use The Equipment
Please read the handbook and familiarise yourself with all warnings, hazards and safety
information. Regularly inspect the equipment, accessories and electrical leads. Do not use if there
is any sign of damage. Keep the equipment clean, only use a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or
allows liquids to enter the case.

4 Electricity Supply
Before connecting to the electricity supply please familiarise yourself with the parts of the manual
relevant to your model.
Your unit's supply voltage requirement is specified on a label on the instrument along with the
serial number. Only connect to a power supply matching the requirement stated on the equipment.

This equipment is a Class 1 Appliance and must be earthed (grounded). Use the supplied power
cord and plug it directly into an AC outlet with a protective earth.
If using an alternative cord ensure it is of adequate rating.
If fitting a plug to the cable we have supplied the cable is colour coded as follows:
Do not use the equipment if it is not correctly earthed. If in doubt consult Isothermal Technology
Ltd or a qualified electrician.

6 EMC Information
This product meets the requirements of the European Directive on Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) 89/336/EEC as amended by EC Directive 92/31/EEC and the European Low Voltage
Directive 73/25/EEC, amended by 93/68/EEC. To ensure emission compliance please ensure that
connecting leads are fully screened.
The product meets the susceptibility requirements of EN 50082-1, criterion B.

7 Cautionary Note
Operators of this equipment should be adequately trained in the handling of hot and cold items.
It is important the user has been trained about the selection and use of liquids over a wide
temperature range. It is expected that personnel using this equipment will be competent with the
management of apparatus which may be powered or under extremes of temperature and are able
to appreciate the hazards which may be associated with and the precautions to be taken with,
such equipment.

8 Safety Warnings
8.1 Environmental Conditions
Operating temperature: 5-40°C (41-122°F)
Relative Humidity: 5-80% - Non-condensing
8.2 Do Not Modify Or Disassemble
Do not use the apparatus for jobs other than those for which it was designed, i.e. the
calibration of thermometers
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not dismantle or modify the apparatus. For
repair information contact Isothermal Technology Ltd
For equipment with fans, the fan should kept free from dust build up; a soft brush or
vacuum cleaner may be used on the external grill
8.3 Beware Of Electrical Considerations
The equipment is for installation category II (transient voltages) and pollution degree
II in accordance with IEC 664 at altitudes to 2000 metres
Sensor Input Connection must never exceed 30V with reference to ground
Thermostat test inputs should be voltage free: isolate from any voltage source during test
8.4 Be Careful Where It Is Used
The equipment is not for use in hazardous areas or in an environment close to flammable
materials or gases
The equipment must be used on a flat level surface, with adequate space around it for air
flow and avoid blocking ventilation slots
Ensure free space above the unit to avoid risk of burn or fire
The equipment should only be used indoors
Site in a way that allows access to the power switch, and to allow the cable to be
disconnected
Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration ensuring it will not be subjected to
dripping or splashing liquids
8.5 Be Careful With Extremes Of Temperature
In normal use the calibration volume, inserts and probes will become very hot and present
a burn hazard
Do not remove inserts, probes or handle the equipment when it is hot or cold.
Allow the equipment and accessories to reach a temperature between ambient and 70°C
before switching off or storing the equipment in its case
Do not use the equipment outside its recommended temperature range
Operating the equipment at extremes of temperature for extended periods may call for
early replacement of the heating assembly
Wear appropriate protective clothing
8.6 Be Careful With Inserts
Only use inserts supplied with, or ordered specifically for, this model
Do not handle inserts while they are very hot or cold
Inserts for low temperature models may melt and cause a fire if used in high temperature
models
Only use Isotech inserts which are specially treated to avoid them from becoming stuck in
the calibration volume
Do not use powders, liquids or compounds in the insert; this may lead to the insert or
probes becoming stuck
13
8.7 Be Careful With Fluids
Isocal-6 models can be used as liquid baths; the Hyperion and Drago models can have the
liquid directly in the block or the liquid container. For all other models do not add liquid
directly to the block; you must place the liquid in the appropriate Isotech liquid container
kit.
To avoid risk of toxic fumes or ignition only use the appropriate fluid and be careful not to
exceed the stated temperature range
Do not handle hot fluids
Wear appropriate eye protection and be careful to avoid spills, overspills or splashing
Do not overfill - liquids will expand on heating, allow room for expansion
Be careful to select an appropriate liquid – viscous liquids will offer poor thermal
performance.
Never mix fluids and keep containers clean and dry before introducing a new fluid
Do not use oils below the dew point. Water introduced into oil can present a hazard at
higher temperatures due to steam generation
Ensure adequate ventilation of any liquid fumes
14
9 Consider The Environment
The equipment should be recycled or disposed of in a proper way; following the Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive
