ThermoProbe TP-2C Instrucciones De Uso

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
THE MANUAL DESCRIBES BASIC FUNCTION AND USE OF THERMOPROBE INSTRUMENTS AND BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The ThermoProbe Portable Electronic Thermometer is a portable digital temperature instrument. Intended use of ThermoProbe is both in hazardous (flammable) and non-
hazardous areas. This portable instrument is intended for ATEX use for dry conditions (-20 to 40C). The instrument is not intended for use in permanent outdoor installation
and is not intended or tested for use in icing conditions. Where the equipment may be exposed to excessive external stresses such as vibration, heat, and impact, the
equipment must be protected.
USE OF INSTRUMENT
ThermoProbes are intended for operation in hazardous locations (Potentially
Flammable or Explosive), the user must have a working knowledge of appropriate
safety instructions.
SEE MARKINGS ON INSTRUMENT AND READ
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
PROCEDURES BEFORE USE
a) The inspector must have a thorough knowledge of the products to be
measured and must know of the safety measures to be taken when working
with the material to be measured.
b) Instrument shall be checked concerning severe defects; check that
instrument is complete (where applicable grounding/bonding cable), has
good batteries, etc. If necessary, check measurement accuracy. If any defects
are found, the instrument should not be used until repairs have been made.
c) Instrument, especially sensor (and cable), should be clean both for safety
reasons and ease of use.
d) Evaluation should be carried out to verify if physical place for measuring is
considered a primary or secondary risk, or both.
FUNCTION
Depress the sealed "ON" button on the case to read measured temperature on
the display. The instrument will shut off within 20 minutes.
INTRINSIC SAFETY
Intrinsically safe equipment is defined as "equipment and wiring which is
incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or
abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric
mixture in its most easily ignited concentration." (ISA-RP12.6) This is achieved by
limiting the amount of power available to the electrical equipment in the
hazardous area to a level below that which will ignite the gases.
In order to have a fire or explosion, fuel, oxygen and a source of ignition must be
present. An intrinsically safe system assumes the fuel and oxygen is present in
the atmosphere, but the system is designed so the electrical energy or thermal
energy of a particular instrument loop can never be great enough to cause
ignition.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a) Power source must be removed before performing any maintenance.
b) Batteries must be changed in Non-hazardous area. Batteries must be of
correct type, see instrument identification plates on instrument.
c) New batteries must not be mixed with old batteries; batteries must not be
mixed with batteries of other manufacturers.
d) Exchange of components other than original components may compromise
the safety and is not recommended.

ESSENTIAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The equipment is designed to satisfy the requirements of Clause 1.2.7 of the
Essential Health and Safety Requirements (European Standard).
GUIDANCE NOTE
Problems with aggressive substances and environments: Be aware of aggressive
substances and that extra protection may be needed. Exposure to Excessive heat
can melt the plastic components of the instrument.
TP-7, 8, 2C, 5C: Caustic soda, highly basic and acidic substances will erode
aluminum and Copper ground clip and wire. The Sensor-Cable assembly has
external surfaces of stainless steel and fluoropolymer material.
TL-1A, W: The sensor has external surfaces of stainless steel, the sensor mount
is acetal, the case is aluminum, gasket is silicone, and the switch-window
assembly is a vinyl compound.
STANDARDS SIGNIFICATION
ThermoProbe instruments are classified as intrinsically safe to North American,
European and Japanese standards. Depending on the particular instrument and
regional requirements, certifications are provided by the following testing labora-
tories: UL (US), DEMKO (Denmark) and TIIS (Japan). Please check instrument
identification plates for necessary designation.
