Compatibility

The probe is compatible with all DC millivolt measuring instruments that have a minimum of 1 MΩ input impedance and accept safety shrouded, standard diameter 0.16 in. (4 mm) banana plugs.

Operation

To take a measurement, perform the following steps:

1.Plug the red connector into the VΩ dc input jack and the black connector into the common or ground input jack on the test instrument.

2.Select mV dc on the test instrument.

3.Slide the probe switch forward to the "ON" position.

4.Point the tip of the probe as close as possible to the object being measured without touching the object.

5.Read the test instrument display.

Additional considerations are:

After 10 minutes of use the probe will automatically shift to Sleep mode (the display will show 0°F). It can be restarted by sliding the switch to "OFF" and then to "ON" (see Table 1).

Sleep mode extends battery life. However, for maximum battery life, switch the probe to the "OFF" position.

If the test instrument displays an overload condition, switch the DMM range from mV dc to V dc. Increasing the range to V dc moves the decimal position three places to the left (1000°F displays as 1.000V dc).
