Safety Information
Never touch the probes to a voltage source when the test leads are plugged into the current
terminals.
Select the proper function and range for each measurement.
Disconnect the test leads before changing to another measure or source function.
DO NOT operate the Field Metrology Well around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
DO NOT operate instrument at orientations other than upright. Tilting the instrument or laying
it down on its side during use could create a fire hazard.
BURN HAZARD
The instrument is equipped with a Block Temperature Indicator (front panel LED HOT indica-
tor – Patent Pending) even when the instrument is unplugged. When the indicator is flashing,
the instrument is disconnected from mains power and the temperature of the block is above
50°C. When the indicator is illuminated, always on, the instrument is powered and the block
temperature is above 50°C.
DO NOT turn the instrument upside down with the inserts in place; the inserts will fall out.
DO NOT operate near flammable materials.
Use of this instrument at HIGH TEMPERATURES for extended periods of time requires
caution.
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
instrument.
The temperature of the well access is the same as the actual display temperature, e.g. if the
instrument is set to 600°C and the display reads 600°C, the well is at 600°C.
Probes and inserts may be hot and should only be inserted and removed from the instrument
when the instrument indicates temperatures less than 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 Field Metrology Wells designed for operation at 300°C and
higher may result in fires and severe burns if safety precautions are not observed.
