Users Manual

Holding the Displayed Readings

1.Press hto freeze the readings on the display. The display shows H.

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

3.Press hagain to turn off the HOLD function.

Viewing the MIN, MAX, and AVG Readings

1.Press Mto step through the maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), or the average (AVG) readings.

The elapsed time since entering MIN MAX mode, or the time at which the minimum or maximum occurred, appears on the display.

2.Press G, M(CANCEL) to exit MIN MAX mode.

Using the Offset to Adjust for Probe Errors

Use the offset option in Setup to adjust the thermometer’s readings to compensate for the errors of a specific thermocouple.

The allowable adjustment range is ± 5.0 oC or K, and

±9.0 oF.

1.Plug the thermocouple into the input connector.

2.Place the thermocouple in a known, stable temperature environment (such as an ice bath or a dry well calibrator).

3.Allow the readings to stabilize.

4.In Setup change the offset until the primary display reading matches the calibration temperature. (See "Changing Setup Options.")
