OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MODEL HH801B

DUAL INPUT J/K/T/E

DIGITAL THERMOMETER

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 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 opera- tor must refer to an explanation in this manual.

off. With the power off, push and hold this key for more than 4 seconds to disable auto power-off and turn the meter on.

2.“HOLD” Button

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

Press the “HOLD” key again to cancel HOLD mode and allow the thermometer to resume taking measure- ments. In the MAX/MIN recording mode, press the “HOLD” key to stop the recording. Press “HOLD” key again to resume recording. (Previously recorded read- ings are not erased.)

3.” /°F” Button

Press “ ” button to toggle ON or OFF the backlight. The backlight will switch-off automatically after 30 sec- onds. Readings are displayed in either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°C). 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

mode.

8.“ ” Button

The ” ” key increases the value of the selected digit.(See “SET mode” later in this manual.)

9.“TC OFFSET” Button

This button allows the user to adjust the Cold Junc- tion Compensation offset up to ±5.0 counts. This value is used to compensate for thermocouple sensor error.

When a value is entered, the readings displayed on the LCD will be automatically adjusted to include this off- set. (See “SET mode” later in this manual.)

10.“ ” Button

The “ ” key moves to the next digit on the display (See “SET mode” later in this manual.)

11.“ ” Button

The “ ” key decreases the value of the selected digit (See “SET mode” later in this manual.)

12.“SET” Button

Allows user to set the Relative value, Hi/Lo Limits value and Cold Junction Compensation value. Press “SET” key to enter SET mode. The LCD displays“SET”

4.“REL” Button

Press the “REL” key to enter the Relative mode, zero the display, and store the displayed reading as a refer- ence value. The annunciator REL will appear on the LCD. Press the “REL” key for more than 2 seconds to exit the relative mode. The relative value can also be entered by the user. (See “SET mode” later in this man- ual). When the desired Relative value has been entered, press the “SET” key to set Relative value as a reference value. Press “REL” key again to exit the relative mode.

In the Relative mode, the value (can not be greater than ±2,000 counts) shown on the LCD is always the difference between the stored reference and the present reading.

5.“Type” Button: K/J/T/E Thermocouple Type

The “TYPE” key selects the thermocouple type to be used as an input. When the thermometer is turned on, it is set to the type that was in use when the thermometer was last turned off.

6.“MAX/MIN” Button: Record mode

Press “MAX/MIN” key to enter the MAX/MIN Re- cording mode, (displays the Maximum reading, Mini- mum reading, “MAX-MIN” reading and Average read- ing stored in record mode). In this mode the automatic

power-off feature is disabled and “ ” key and all func-

and set annunciator is show in the upper right.

Set Relative value:

Press “SET” key to enter SET mode, then Press “REL” button to set relative value. SET”, “REL” and “T1” annunciators are displayed.

Press “_” or ” ”to increase or decrease the value of the flashing digit, press “ ”to advance to the next digit Use “_” or ” ”to set positive or negative for this rela- tive value. Then press the ”ENTER” key to set the rela- tive value for T1. Follow the same procedure for T2. In this Relative SET mode, the value can not be greater than ±1999.9 counts. If this value more than ±1999.9 counts, “Err” displayed and a valid offset must be en- tered.

Set Hi/Lo Limit value:

Press “SET” key to enter SET mode, then Press Hi/Lo button to set Hi/Lo Limit value. “SET”, “LIMIT”, “Hi” and “T1” annunciator are displayed.

Press “_” or ” ”to increase or decrease the value of the flashing digit, press “ ”to advance to the next digit Use “ ” or ” ”to set positive or negative for this Hi/Lo Limit value. Then press the “ENTER” key to store the Hi limit value for T1. Follow the same procedure for T2 In this Hi/Lo Limit SET mode, the value can not be greater than ±1999.9 counts. If this value more than ±1999.9 counts, “Err” displayed and a valid limit must be entered.

Press “ ” or ” ”to increase or decrease the value of the flashing digit, press “ ” to advance to the next digit Press “ ” or ” ”to set positive or negative for this TC OFFSET value. Then press the “ENTER” key to store the TC OFFSET value for T1, next enter the TC OFFSET value for T2. In this TC OFFSET SET mode,

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.“” Power Button

The “” key turns the thermometer on or off. In the MAX/MIN record mode the meter cannot be powered

Press the “Hi/Lo” key to enter the Hi/Lo LIMITS comparative mode, “LIMIT” is displayed. When the in- put temperature value is above the Hi value, the beeper emits a continuous tone and “Hi” is displayed. When in- put temperature value is below the Lo value, the beeper emits a pulsed tone and “Lo” is displayed. Press the “Hi/Lo” LIMIT key again to exit the Hi/Lo LIMIT

the value can not be greater than ±5.0 counts. If this value more than ±5.0 counts, “Err” displayed and a valid offset must be entered.
