1. Introduction

Welcome to your new KD2 Pro Thermal Properties Analyzer.

This guide is designed to help you understand and use your

instrument to the best of its capability.

About the KD2 Pro

The KD2 Pro is a handheld device used to measure thermal

properties. It consists of a handheld controller and sensors that

can be inserted into the medium you wish to measure. The sin-

gle-needle sensors measure thermal conductivity and resistivity;

while the dual-needle sensor also measures volumetric specific

heat capacity and diffusivity. Further details about the measure-

ments and how they’re made are given in chapters 2 and 3 of

this guide.

Customer Support

If you ever need assistance with your KD2 Pro, or if you just

have questions or feedback, there are several ways to contact

us. Customer service representatives are available to speak

with you Monday thru Friday, between 8am and 5pm Pacific

time.

1. Introduction

If contacting us by email or fax, please include as part of your

message your instrument’s serial number, your name, address,

phone, and fax number.

NOTE: If you purchased your KD2 Pro through a distribu-

tor, please contact them for assistance.

Warranty Information

The KD2 Pro has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a one-

year warranty.

Seller’s Liability

Seller warrants new equipment of its own manufacture against

defective workmanship and materials for a period of one year

from date of receipt of equipment (the results of ordinary wear

and tear, neglect, misuse, accident and excessive deterioration

due to corrosion from any cause are not to be considered a

defect); but Seller’s liability for defective parts shall in no event

exceed the furnishing of replacement parts F.O.B. the factory

where originally manufactured. Material and equipment cov-

ered hereby which is not manufactured by Seller shall be cov-

ered only by the warranty of its manufacturer. Seller shall not be

liable to Buyer for loss, damage or injuries to persons (including

death), or to property or things of whatsoever kind (including,

but not without limitation, loss of anticipated profits), occa-

sioned by or arising out of the installation, operation, use, mis-

use, non-use, repair, or replacement of said material and

equipment, or out of the use of any method or process for

which the same may be employed. The use of this equipment

constitutes Buyer’s acceptance of the terms set forth in this

warranty. There are no understandings, representations, or war-

ranties of any kind, express, implied, statutory or otherwise

(including, but without limitation, the implied warranties of

merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose), not

expressly set forth herein.

Repair Instructions

If your KD2 Pro should ever require a repair, call Decagon at

(509) 332-2756 or 1-800-755-2751 (United States and Can-

ada). We will ask you for your address, phone number, your

KD2 Pro’s serial number, and your current firmware version.

For non-warranty repairs, we will also ask for a method of

payment.

Before shipping your instrument to Decagon, please

contact Decagon to obtain a Request Maintenance

Authorization Number (RMA). This will allow Decagon’s

repair staff to keep track of your KD2 Pro. Once you have

acquired an RMA, send your KD2 Pro to Decagon. Please

include a document listing the complete shipping address,

name, and department of the person responsible for the

instrument, as well as a description of the problem. This will

better help our technicians and shipping department to expe-

dite repair on your KD2 Pro, and ship it back to you.

Please pack your KD2 Pro carefully. Ship it back in the carry-

ing case, preferably inside a cardboard box. Ship to:

Repair Costs

Manufacturer’s defects and instruments under warranty will be

repaired at no cost. For non-warranty repairs, costs for parts,

labor, and shipping will be billed to you.
