Cautions - Fluke 917X Serie Funcionamiento Básico

917X Series Metrology Wells
Getting Started
DO NOT touch the well access surface of the instrument.
The block vent may be very hot due to the fan blowing across the heater block of the Metrology
Well.
The calibration well temperature of the Metrology Well is the same as the actual display
temperature, for example, if the instrument is set to 700°C and the display reads 700°C, the well is
at 700°C.
The air over the well can reach temperatures greater that 200°C for high temperature (400°C and
higher) Metrology Wells.
Probes and inserts may be hot and should only be inserted and removed from the instrument when
the instrument is operating at temperatures below 50°C.
DO NOT turn off the instrument at temperatures higher than 100°C. This could create a hazardous
situation. Select a set-point less than 100°C and allow the instrument to cool before turning it off.
The high temperatures present in Metrology Wells designed for operation at 300°C and higher
may result in fires and severe burns if safety precautions are not observed.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that the safety mechanisms in this instrument will
operate properly. This instrument must be plugged into a 115 VAC (230 VAC optional), AC only
electric outlet. The power cord of the instrument is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug
for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug.
If supplied with user accessible fuses, always replace the fuse with one of the same rating, voltage,
and type.
Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the correct rating and type.
HIGH VOLTAGE is used in the operation of this equipment. SEVERE INJURY or DEATH may
result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions. Before working inside the equipment, turn
power off and disconnect power cord.

Cautions

To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow these guidelines:
DO NOT leave the sleeve(s) in the instrument for prolonged periods. Due to the high operating
temperatures of the instrument, the sleeves should be removed after each use and buffed with a
Scotch-Brite® pad or emery cloth (see the Maintenance section of the Users Guide).
Always operate this instrument at room temperature between 5°C and 50°C (41°F and 122°F).
Allow sufficient air circulation by leaving at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance around the
instrument. Overhead clearance is required. DO NOT place the instrument under any structure.
