comply with the following correct instruction, it is

possible to bring hazards to the user or cause

damage to the calibrator in use. The warning also

points out how to avoid the accidents.

！ Caution

Caution

A

caution shows that if the operation does not

comply with the following correct instruction, it is

possible to cause damage to the calibrator in use.

The caution also points out how to avoid

maloperation.

Note

A

note serves as a sign to remind the user that he

must understand the correct operation of the

calibrator and its characteristics.

T

o prevent the user and the calibrator from any electric shock and

other hazards, it is necessary to observe the following regulation:

Warning



I t is not allowed to operate the calibrator at the working

field where there exists flammable gas or explosive gas or

vapor. It is very dangerous to operate the calibrator in

such a surrounding.



N ever apply more than 30V between any two terminals, or

between any terminal and earth ground.

: No one is allowed to remove the split case

(top & bottom) of the calibrator except

professionals.



nnn

use

: The calibrator can ’ t perform both input and

2

output simultaneously. No direct connection

can be made between both input and output.



MMM

aintenance

: Periodically wipe the case with a damp

cloth and detergent; do not use any

corrosive solvents.

Note



T

o keep the calibrator in a designed accuracy, it needs

warming up 5 minutes before it is put into operation.



I f any user requires a higher accuracy of the calibrator, the

user should make contact with the manufacturer.



I f

the

automatic

reference-junction

temperature compensation

of

the calibrator

deviates from its designed accuracy, the

user should make contact with our manufacturer.

arning



D uring the operation, never apply more than 30V between any

two terminals,

or

voltage more than 30V will not only cause damage to the

calibrator, but also lead to possible personal injury.

！ Caution

Caution



D uring the operation, do not apply a voltage exceeding the

measuring range to the input terminal, which will cause possible

damage to the calibrator.



C onnect the calibrator to the instrument to be measured only

after the power supply of the instrument has been cut off. T he

electric connection without cutting off the power supply will lead

to possible damage to the calibrator.



D uring the operation, special care should be taken not to apply

current signals to the input terminal. Any improper electric

connection will cause damage to the calibrator and the

instrument to be measured.
