4. Design and function
4.1 Description
The model TF43 insertion thermometer consists of a measuring element with a firmly mounted
EN
connecting cable. The measuring element and junction to the connecting cable are completely
moulded with plastic. Thus an absolute leak tightness against humidity is ensured.
All electrical components are protected against splash water. The electrical connection is made
via connection terminals in the case.
4.2 Scope of delivery
Cross-check scope of delivery with delivery note.
5. Transport, packaging and storage
5.1 Transport
