Safety instructions
In order to guarantee that the device operates safely, the operator must act competently and
be conscious of safety issues.
SiKA provides support for the use of its products either personally or via relevant literature.
The customer verifies that our product is fit for purpose based on our technical information.
The customer performs customer- and application-specific tests to ensure that the product is
suitable for the intended use. With this verification all hazards and risks are transferred to our
customers; our warranty is not valid.
Qualified personnel:
The personnel who are charged for the installation, operation and maintenance of the
DiTemp DT3 must hold a relevant qualification. This can be based on training or relevant
tuition.
The personnel must be aware of this operating manual and have access to it at all times.
General safety instructions:
In all work, the existing national regulations for accident prevention and safety in the
workplace must be complied with. Any internal regulations of the operator must also be
complied with, even if these are not mentioned in this manual.
The measuring accuracy can be significantly influenced by the installation conditions, e.g.
by the installation depth and the heat conduction via the material at the screw-in position.
When measuring high media temperatures it is possible that the ambient temperature at
the thermometer housing will exceed the permissible maximum value (+60 °C). This may
damage the measuring device.
We recommend the use of our DiTemp DT3 with remote cable when measuring media
temperatures greater than 200 °C.
Always observe the specified degree of protection for the device.
Never open the display head, otherwise the degree of protection (IP65) cannot be guar-
anteed.
Never remove the protective tube of the temperature sensor while the system is operat-
ing!
Never touch the temperature sensor or connected components if the medium being
measured is subject to high temperatures.
It is recommended, if possible, to always install display heads at eye level.
The battery is designed for the normal lifetime of the DiTemp DT3. Battery replacement is
not possible.
Special safety instructions:
Caution:
If the thermometer is to be used in applications with high pressures and/or high tempera-
tures, high medium flow rates or corrosive and abrasive media, the thermometer immer-
sion tube has to be additionally protected by a protective tube in accordance with
DIN 43772.
Further warnings that are specifically relevant to individual operating procedures or activities
can be found at the beginning of the relevant sections of this operating manual.
