2.Set the thermometer for the correct thermocouple type.

Displaying Temperatures

1.Press Cto select the correct temperature scale.

2.Hold or attach the thermocouple(s) to the measurement location.

The temperature reading appears in the primary display.

3.Model 52: Press Tto toggle between showing the T1, T2, and T1-T2 readings in the primary or secondary display.

Notes

The display shows "- - - -" when a thermocouple is not connected.

The display shows 0L (overload) when the temperature being measured is outside the thermocouple’s valid range.

Model 52: If only thermocouple T2 is connected, the T2 reading appears in the primary display.
