SAFETY INFORMATION

It is recommended that you read the safety and opera- tion instructions before using the thermometer.

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when working voltages at the measurement surface over 24V AC or 60V DC.

WARNING

To avoid damage or burns, do not make temperature

measurement in microwave ovens.

CAUTION

Repeated sharp flexing can break the thermocouple leads. To prolong lead life, avoid sharp bends in the leads, especially near the connector.

The symbol on the instrument indicates that the op- erator must refer to an explanation in this manual.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.“°C/°F” Button: Selecting the Temperature Scale Reading are displayed in either degrees Celsius(°C) or degrees Fahrenheit(°F). When the thermometer is turned on, it is set to the temperature scale that was in use when the thermometer was last turned off. To change the temperature scale, hold down for 2 seconds “APO >2S °C/°F” key.

2.Single-Thermocouple Temperature Measurement The thermometer displays the temperature of the ther- mocouple that is connected to the selected input. Press the “T2” key to display the temperature of the thermo- couple connected to the T2 input. Press the “T1” key to display the temperature of the thermocouple connected to the T1 input. The input selection cursor indicates which input is selected.

3.Differential Temperature Measurement

Differential temperature measurement is selected by pressing the “T1-T2” key. This causes the thermometer to display the temperature difference between the two thermocouples (the temperature of thermocouple T1 minus the temperature of thermocouple T2). The selec- tion is indicated by the input selection cursor.

4.“HOLD” Button

Press the “HOLD” key to enter the Data Hold mode, the “HOLD” annunciator is displayed. When HOLD mode is selected, the thermometer held the present readings and stops all further measurements. Press the “HOLD”

key again cancels HOLD mode, causing the thermome- ter to resume taking measurements.

5.“REL” Button

Press “REL” key to enter Relative mode, zero the dis- play, and store the displayed reading as a reference value and annunciator REL is displayed. Pressing “REL” key over 2 seconds to exit the relative mode.

6.“APO” Button

Pressing “APO >2S °C/°F” key to trigger on or off APO mode, and then APO annunciator will appear or disap- pear on the display. Power is automatically turn off, if no operation for a period of time, and “APO” annuncia- tor is displayed at upper-left corner when APO function is enabled.

7.“MIN/MAX” Button

Press “MIN/MAX” once to begin recording MIN and MAX. Press “MIN/MAX” to select MIN or MAX or MAX-MIN or AVG Hold down for 2 seconds to exit MIN/MAX function.

In the MIN/MAX record mode can not power off, must leave MIN/MAX record mode then power off.

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT

The OFFSET control is set at the factory to allow for the variations found in standard thermocouples. By adjust- ing the OFFSET control, you can optimize measurement accuracy for a particular thermocouple at a particular temperature.

Adjusting for T1 or T2 Accurate Measure- ments

1.Connect the thermocouple to the T1 or T2 input con- nector and turn the thermometer on.

2.Place the thermocouple in a known, stable temperature environment at or near the temperature you wish to measure, and allow the readings to stabilize.

3.Slowly adjust the OFFSET control so that the ther- mometer reading matches the temperature of the known environment. Leave sufficient time between adjustments to allow for measurement lag.

4.The calibration of the thermometer-thermocouple com- bination is now optimized for measurements near the temperature measured in step 2.

Resetting the OFFSET Control

To return the OFFSET control to the factory setting without having to recalibrate the thermometer, perform the following procedure:

1.Connect a thermocouple that is in good working order to the input that is to be adjusted.

2.Place the thermocouple in an ice-water bath and allow the readings to stabilize.

3.Slowly adjust the OFFSET control until the thermome- ter reads 0°C (32°F).
