Safety Precautions for On-Site Use of Closed Flash Point Tester

Key Safety Guidelines

1. Prevent Fire and Electric Shock Hazards

   • Personal Safety: Always ensure that the product is used within the specified environmental conditions outlined in the product manual. Follow the recommended parameters and avoid deviations.
   • Fuse Usage: Only use the fuses specified in the product’s manual. Fuses with incorrect ratings can result in malfunction or damage.
   • Electric Sparks: Be aware that electric sparks may be generated when inserting or unplugging test wires and power connections. Ensure all connections are secure and take precautions to avoid sparks.

2. Proper Grounding

   • Grounding Wire: Before conducting any tests, ensure that the grounding conductor is properly connected to a genuine earth ground to prevent electric shock hazards.
   • Live Terminals: When connecting test wires to live terminals, do not connect or disconnect wires unless it is absolutely necessary and under safe conditions.

3. Instrument Handling

   • Avoid Exposure: Never operate the instrument without the front or rear cover plate in place.
   • After Testing: Once the testing is complete, follow the operational instructions to properly turn off the instrument, disconnect the power supply, and store the equipment securely.

4. Damaged Equipment

   • Faulty Instruments: If the closed flash point tester is damaged or malfunctions, immediately disconnect the power and discontinue use. Contact our after-sales service for repairs or further guidance.

5. Environmental Restrictions

   • Damp Environments: Do not use the tester in damp or wet conditions, as this can cause malfunction or safety risks.
   • Explosive Environments: The tester should not be used in explosive environments unless it is an explosion-proof version of the product.

6. Product Care

   • Surface Maintenance: Keep the tester’s surface clean and dry at all times to ensure accurate operation and longevity.
   • Handling During Transport: The product is a precision instrument; handle with care during transport to prevent damage.

Precautions During Operation

1. Non-Corrosive Environment

   • The closed flash point tester should be used in an environment free from corrosive substances to ensure its longevity and safe operation.

2. Oil Cup Maintenance

   • Cleaning: When replacing the sample, thoroughly clean the oil cup to prevent contamination and ensure accurate readings during testing.

3. Thermocouple Care

   • Ensure that the thermocouple is free from oil stains before testing. If necessary, use filter paper to clean and dry the thermocouple to maintain its sensitivity.

4. Handling High-Temperature Components

   • During testing, avoid direct contact with the ignition head, oil cup, and other high-temperature components to prevent burns.

Summary of Key Maintenance Tips

• Proper Environment: Always operate in a clean, dry, and non-corrosive setting.
• Regular Cleaning: Clean the oil cup before sample replacement to avoid contamination.
• Thermocouple Integrity: Ensure the thermocouple is free of oil and properly dried to maintain sensitivity.
• High-Temperature Safety: Avoid touching high-temperature components during operation.

By adhering to these safety protocols, you can ensure both the accuracy of your tests and the safety of all personnel involved. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and use the product with caution to maintain its reliability and your personal safety.
