Fluke 1521 Thermometer User Manual


 
Carefully place probes on a heat/cold resistant surface or rack until they
reach room temperature.
The AC adapter can present safety concerns if misused or damaged. To
avoid the risk of electric shock or fire, do not use the AC adapter outdoors
or in a dusty, dirty, or wet environment. If the cord, case, or plug of the
adapter is damaged in any way, discontinue its use immediately and have
it replaced. Never disassemble the AC adapter. Use only the AC adapter
provided with the instrument or equivalent adapter recommended by the
manufacturer of this instrument.
The AC adapter has circuits with high voltage inside that could present
danger of electrical shock or fire if exposed. If the AC adapter is damaged
in any way or becomes hot, discontinue its use immediately, disconnect it
from any AC supply, and have it replaced. Do not attempt to open, repair,
or continue using a damaged or defective AC adapter.
The instrument batteries can present danger if not handled properly. To
avoid the risk of exposure to dangerous substances or explosion, immedi
-
ately remove the batteries and discontinue use if they leak or become
damaged. Never allow the batteries to be shorted, heated, punctured, or
dropped. If the instrument is physically damaged, immediately remove
the batteries to insure that they do not become shorted. While removed
from the instrument, store the batteries in a location so that they do not
come into contact with metal or fluids that might short circuit the batteries
and where they are safe from excessive temperatures. Used batteries must
be disposed of properly. Check your local regulations for additional infor-
mation. You may return the used batteries to the manufacturer. Never dis-
pose of batteries in fire which may result in explosion with the possibility
of personal injury or property damage.
DO NOT use this instrument in combination with any probe (RTD or
thermistor) to measure the temperature or resistance of any device that is
electrically energized. Severe electric shock, personal injury, or death may
occur.
