• Check for proper operation of the Product before taking it
into a hazardous area. Should the Product not operate as
expected do not take the Product into a hazardous area and
return it to the manufacturer for inspection.
• The Product is intended for installation only in locations
providing adequate protection against the entry of solid
foreign objects or water capable of impairing safety.
W Caution
To prevent possible damage to the Product or to equipment
under test:
• If the display message changes to “OL,” the range limit is
exceeded and the Product must immediately be removed
from the heat source to prevent damage.
• Do not immerse the Probe beyond its maximum immersion
depth. This may damage its internal electronics. See
“Immersion Depth and Usage” later in this manual.
• DO NOT drop or strike the Probe in any way. Mechanical
shock damages the Probe internally and affects it
calibration.
If the Product overheats or is exposed to sudden physical shock, examine it for damage that
can cause a safety risk. If possible, compare the displayed temperature to a known reference
before Product use. If not sure, send the Product to Fluke Corporation. Refer to “How to
Contact Fluke”.
Substitution of components will impair suitability for hazardous locations.
