Section 1 - Introduction

The CL1600 Surface Probe Tester is designed for ease of use and reliability whenever
you have a need to test, check or confirm a reading from a surface probe under a set
temperature.

It is important that you read this manual completely and follow all safety precautions
before operating this instrument.

1.1 Precautions

To avoid personal injury, please follow all safety precautions and operating instructions
outlined in this section.

• Caution! Do not touch the hot plate or its surrounding components at any time; the
temperature on the hot plate is the same as the temperature indicated on the controller
display. Please be careful.

• The CL1600 can operate at very high temperatures, when testing and handling surface
sensors, they too will get very hot at the tip end, so be sure to have a heat resistant plate
to place the sensors after testing and to allow them to cool down.

• Never turn the power off when the hot plate is set to temperatures higher than 100
degrees C. Damage to the electronic controller or to the heater could occur.

• Never leave your tester unattended when in use.

• Keep out of children reach.

• Never permanently place or attach any object within 6 inches of the plate.

• Do not operate in explosive environments.

• Never operate this unit with a power cord other than the one provided with this system.

• This instrument is intended for indoor use only.

• On initial use, or if this unit hasn’t been power for a period of 10 days, it is
recommended to turn the unit on and allow to run at 50 degrees C for 1 hour, before
using at higher settings.

• Components and heater lifetime can be shortened by continuous high temperature use.

• Never place any foreign materials on the surface of the hot plate, fluids can leak into
the electronic cabinet and into the heater assembly causing risk of injury and
permanent damage to the tester.

• In the event this instrument blows a fuse, it could be due to a power surge or a
component failure. Replace the fuses once, and then re-power the unit. If the fuses
blow again, please contact Omega Engineering Customer Service at

1-800-622-2378 or 203-359-1660. We can also be reached on the Internet at
www.omega.com, e-mail: [e-mail]

• Always replace fuses with one of the same rating, voltage and type. For safety reasons;
never replace a fuse with one of higher voltage value.

• The CL1600 Probe Tester was designed to be a precision instrument with durability,
trouble free and ease of operation as our main goals; as such, this unit should not be
operated in dirty, dusty, wet or oily environments.
