KEYPAD BEEP- enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the audio indication that accompanies each key-press. The
default option is ON.
START-UP HELP- determines whether the User Settings screen appears automatically after power-on. When
the settings is ON the User Settings screen will appear every time the power is switched on. If the setting is
OFF the Measurement screen will appear instead. The default option is ON.
NOTE: The following apply after power-on when Start-Up Help is on:
Pressing the NEXT (F1) function key continues to the Time and Date screen allowing the user to enter the
system Time, Date and Daylight Saving settings with the following conguration elds:
TIME- is the time of the system clock. It is always in 24-hour format.
DATE- is the date of the system clock. It appears in the format determined by the Date Format setting (see
Section 6.2, User Settings Screen, on page 57).
DAYLIGHT SAVING- determines whether the system clock is automatically adjusted at the beginning and

The user settings sequence is completed by selecting the NEXT (F1) function key at which point the user is
prompted to allow the user settings screen to be displayed upon power-up. After making the selection, the
Channel Setup screen is shown to help the user set up a measurement.
6.3 Connecting a Probe or Resistor
CAUTION: Incorrect sensing current can damage a probe or resistor. Before connecting a device to the
Super-Thermometer ensure that the sensing current setting does not exceed the limit of the device.
Figure 16 Input Wiring
The Super-Thermometer measurement inputs are equipped with patented gold-plated DWF connectors. These
connectors are spring-loaded to provide constant contact pressure with measurement connections and they
require little maintenance.
The DWF connectors are designed to accept spade connectors (by pressing the connector open), bare wire
(inserted in one of the side holes while pressing the connector open), and banana jacks (inserted in the front).
For best results, always use wires and connectors that are clean and free of corrosion and oxidation.
