Limited Warranty & Limitation of Liability
Each product from Fluke Corporation, Hart Scientic Division ("Hart") is warranted to be free
from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period
is one year(s) for the Platinum Resistance Thermometer. The warranty period begins on the date
of the shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are warranted for 90 days. The warranty ex-
tends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Hart authorized reseller, and does not
apply to fuses, disposable batteries or to any other product, which in Hart's opinion, has been
misused, altered, neglected, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or
handling. Hart warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional
specications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Hart
does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption. Hart does not
warrant calibrations on the Platinum Resistance Thermometer.
Hart authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user
customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Hart.
Warranty support is available if product is purchased through a Hart authorized sales outlet or
Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Hart reserves the right to invoice Buyer for
importation costs of repairs/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submit-
ted for repair in another country.
Hart's warranty obligation is limited, at Hart's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of
charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Hart authorized
service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Hart authorized service center or send the prod-
uct, with a description of the difculty, postage, and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to
the nearest Hart authorized service center. Hart assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following
warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destina-
tion). If Hart determines that the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or abnormal
condition or operation or handling, Hart will provide an estimate or repair costs and obtain
authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to the
Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation
charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PAR-
TICULAR PURPOSE. HART SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL. OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF
DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CON-
TRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of
this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision.

2 Introduction
2.1 General
The Hart Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRT) models 5606 and 5607, are de-
signed to be a precision instrument converting temperature to resistance. The PRTs are
used with a readout device to detect temperature changes or actual temperature.
2.2 Application
The 5606 and 5607 Full Immersion PRTs are designed to perform in extreme environ-
ments where both the transition junction and the lead wires are required to withstand
temperatures covering the entire operating range of the probe.
The 5606 Immersion PRT has been designed to be fully immersed in common heat
transfer uids such as silicone oil, mineral oil, ethanol, and liquid nitrogen and can
measure temperature ranging from –200 °C to 160 °C.
The 5607 Immersion PRT is intended to be used in dry mediums only but can be fully
immersed in ovens, furnaces, or autoclaves over a temperature range of 0 °C to 450 °C
2.3 Calibration
In order for any instrument to be used as a standard it must be calibrated. These
instruments are sold uncalibrated unless calibration is requested at time of purchase.
They are satisfactory as secondary standards and may be calibrated by comparison to
primary standards.
2.4 Recalibration
The recalibration of the 5606/5607 Full Immersion PRT should be scheduled accord-
ing to the user’s company Quality Assurance requirements. Normally, a PRT is reca-
librated annually. Unless the PRT is used only over a limited range, calibration over
the full range of the PRT is recommended. For information on calibration services for
the 5606/5607, contact an Authorized Service Center for an RMA number and current
pricing (see Section 1.3, Authorized Service Centers, on page 2)
Depending on the user’s Quality Assurance requirements, the PRT drift should be
checked periodically at the Triple Point of Water (TPW) or 0 °C. Section 8.1, Trouble-
shooting, on page 11, provides information on drift with respect to mechanical shock
and oxidation. If the Rtpw cannot be restored after annealing to within calibration toler-
ances, a full recalibration should be scheduled.

3.2 Lead Wire and Transition Junction
The lead wire of the 5606 Full Immersion PRT is made of single-conductor enameled
copper wire which prevents moisture from wicking to the sensing element as it would
if a more common,stranded lead wire were used. In order to maintain its small prole,
the 5606 PRT was designed without a traditional transition junction and strain relief.
Extra care should be taken when handling the lead wires of the 5606.
The lead wire of the 5607 is shielded with braided stainless steel and connected to the
transition junction with a strain relief spring. The transition junction and lead wire of
the 5607 PRT have been designed to withstand temperatures from 0 °C to 450 °C but
should be immersed in dry mediums only. The transition junction and lead wires of
the 5607 PRT should not be directly immersed in uids of any kind. If a measurement
must be made in a uid medium, the transition junction and lead wires of the 5607
can be shielded from exposure to uids by inserting the entire probe assembly into a
sufciently long, close-ended stainless steel or glass tube. Additional stabilization time
should be considered to allow for complete temperature equilibration.
