Safety instructions
6
S For thermocouples operating in automation applica
tions, safety precautions must be taken in terms of
both hardware and software, so that an open circuit or
other interruptions to signal transmission do not result
in undefined states or loss of data in the automation
device.
S Following work on settings or password-protected
activities, make sure that any controls that may be
connected remain in a safe condition until the
switching behavior that depends on the thermocouple
has been tested.

Additional safety precautions
S The ITC-K1000 thermocouple is built and tested in
accordance with EN 61010, Safety Requirements for
Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and
Laboratory Use, and was in perfect condition when it
left production. To maintain this condition and ensure
risk-free operation (reducing residual dangers, EN
61010-1:2010 17 c), the user must comply with the
instructions and warning notices contained in this
operating manual.
S Additional safety precautions to meet the require
ments of the relevant national and local accident pre
vention regulations must be taken in systems where
malfunctions could cause major damage, loss of data
or even personal injury.
S The scope of supply and performance of the thermo
couple covers only a small area of measurement
technology. Before starting up the ITC-K1000 in a
system, a project planning and risk analysis must first
be implemented, taking into account all the safety
aspects of measurement and automation technology
