THERMCO ACCR0201S U Accu-Safe Enclosed Chamber Spirit Filled Thermometer User Manual

1. Introducció

The THERMCO ACCR0201S U Accu-Safe Enclosed Chamber Spirit Filled Thermometer is designed for precise and reliable temperature measurement in critical environments such as blood bank refrigerators, ultra-low freezers, standard freezers, refrigerators, incubators, ambient rooms, block heaters, and ovens. This thermometer features a spirit-filled (non-mercury) column for environmental safety and is encapsulated in a fluoropolymer safety-shield to protect against breakage and contain any liquid or glass fragments. Each unit is individually serialized and supplied with a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) certificate, ensuring traceability and accuracy.

2. Informació de seguretat

• Manejar amb cura: Although protected by a fluoropolymer coating, the thermometer is made of glass. Avoid dropping or subjecting it to severe impacts.
• Límits de temperatura: Do not expose the thermometer to temperatures outside its specified range of -5°C to 15°C. Extreme temperatures can damage the instrument or affect its accuracy.
• Neteja: Refer to the maintenance section for proper cleaning procedures. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the coating or markings.
• Eliminació: In the event of breakage, the fluoropolymer coating is designed to contain the spirit and glass. Dispose of the broken thermometer according to local regulations for laboratory glass and non-hazardous waste.
• Immersió: Ensure the thermometer is used for total immersion as specified to achieve accurate readings.

• 1 x NIST Traceable Certificate

4. Configuració

1. Desembalatge: Carefully remove the thermometer from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. NIST Certificate: Locate the NIST traceable certificate provided with your thermometer. This document confirms the calibration and traceability of your specific unit. Keep this certificate for your records.
3. Col·locació: Position the thermometer in the desired environment (e.g., refrigerator, freezer, incubator). Ensure the thermometer is fully immersed in the medium or environment being measured, as it is designed for total immersion.
4. Estabilització: Allow sufficient time for the thermometer to stabilize to the ambient temperature of its new environment before taking a reading. This typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the temperature difference.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The THERMCO ACCR0201S U is an analog thermometer designed for straightforward temperature measurement.

1. Immersió: Ensure the thermometer bulb and the entire liquid column are exposed to the temperature being measured. This thermometer is designed for total immersion.
2. Lectura de la temperatura: Once the thermometer has stabilized, read the temperature by observing the top of the red spirit column against the engraved scale. Read at eye level to avoid parallax error.
3. Interval de temperatura: The thermometer measures temperatures within the range of -5°C to 15°C, with divisions of 0.5°C.
4. Precisió: The NIST certificate confirms the accuracy of your specific thermometer. For critical applications, always refer to the certificate for specific correction values if applicable.

6. Manteniment

• Neteja: To clean the thermometer, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these may damage the fluoropolymer coating or the scale markings.
• Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the thermometer in a safe place where it will not be subjected to physical shock or extreme temperatures.
• Inspecció: Periodically inspect the thermometer for any signs of damage to the glass or the protective coating. If the coating is compromised or the glass is cracked, replace the thermometer.

7. Solució De Problemes

• Lectures inexactes: Ensure the thermometer has been allowed sufficient time to stabilize in the environment. Verify that it is fully immersed if required for the application. Check for any physical damage that might affect accuracy.
• Spirit Column Separation: Occasionally, the spirit column may separate due to transport or temperature fluctuations. To rejoin the column, gently tap the thermometer bulb-end down on a soft surface (e.g., a padded bench) until the column reconnects. Alternatively, cooling the bulb in a freezer can sometimes draw the column back together.
• Trencament: In the event of glass breakage, the fluoropolymer safety-shield is designed to contain the spirit and glass fragments. Carefully dispose of the thermometer as per local regulations for laboratory glass.
