4. Installation conditions and installation

Before installation ensure that all the necessary accessories needed for the
mounting method have been delivered. The accessories will be either on the
instrument or supplied in a separate bag, which in most cases will be attached
to the thermometer.
■
Before installing the probe or the pocket (protective sleeve), check whether
the material used (specified in the delivery note) is chemically resistant/
neutral to the medium being measured.
■
Heat conduction errors occur when the size, volume or area of the medium
to be measured is very small, so that the temperature probe becomes
noticeable as a thermal mass. Heat conduction errors may also occur when
the insertion length is not sufficient, or when the instrument mounting
fittings are attached to a good heat conductor (e.g. metal plates) and the
temperature difference between them and the medium to be measured is
very high.

5. Troubleshooting

Bimetal thermometers are maintenance-free instruments according to their
basic design. As measuring instruments, their measuring accuracy should be
checked at application-specific intervals. The wear condition of probes exposed
to a permanent thermal stress (even if this stress is very low), exposed to vibra-
tory stress, must be checked from time to time. If any visible damage is found,
the instrument must be replaced.
