4-2 Measuring Procedure
4-3 Thermocouple Measuring Procedure
1. Power on the meter by pressing the “ Power Button” (4-2, Fig. 1). The meter will go through a
short self test.
2. Select the sensor type by pressing the “ Sensor Button” (4-5, Fig.1). As you press this button
multiple time the meter will display the sensor type along the bottom of the LCD. You will see it
change between K, J, T, E & R.
3. Once you have set it for the desired sensor type, insert the probe in to the “ Thermocouple
Input Socket” (4-10, Fig. 1).
4. Select the unit of measure by pressing the “ °C/°F Button” (4-7, Fig.1).
5. Insert the Thermocouple in to the environment you wish to measure. The LCD will display
the measured values.
4-4 Offset Value Adjustment
In some environments or applications there may be some need to offset the displayed
temperature value. After following section 4-3 follow these steps to set a offset value.
1. Simultaneously press and hold the “Hold Button” (4-3, Fig. 1) and “ REC Button” (4-4, Fig.1).
2. The LCD will display the starting value in the bottom of the LCD and the value in the middle
section.
3. Using the “ Up Button” (4-7, Fig. 1) to increase the offset value and/or the “ Down Button”
(4-6, Fig.1) to decrease the offset value.
4. Release all buttons to go to the normal measurement screen. The meter will now display
measured values with the offset already calculated in to the reading.
4-5 Measuring Considerations
1. When inserting the measurement probes in to the “ Thermocouple Input Socket”
(4-10, Fig. 1), note the correct polarity usually indicated by the size of the plug blades (negative
usually being the wider of the two).
2. For the most accurate reading allow the probe to stabilize when it is being introduced in to
an environment that is significantly different in temperature from its starting point.
4-6 Data Hold Mode
1. During a measurement, press the “ Hold Button” (4-3, Fig. 1) to hold the displayed value on
the LCD. The “ HOLD” symbol will also be displayed on the LCD.
2. Pressing the “ Hold Button” (4-3, Fig. 1) will release the data hold function.
4-7 REC Mode
1. To record the maximum and minimum readings, press the “ REC Button” (4-4, Fig. 1). The
REC symbol will be displayed on the LCD. By pressing the “ REC Button” (4-4, Fig. 1) you can
toggle through the Max and Min values.
2. To stop using the REC function, press and hold the “ REC Button” (4-4, Fig. 1) for at least 3
seconds.
7

4-8 REL Mode
1. It is recommended that you memorize the value on the LCD display first. Also note that the
REL function does not work when the meter is in Data Hold or Data Record conditions.
2. To remove any displayed value from the LCD you can press the “ REL Button” (4-6, Fig. 1).
The display will then go to zero and you will see the REL marker in the top portion.
3. All subsequent values displayed will be the measured value minus the amount on the display
when the REL button was pressed.
4. To cancel the REL function, simply press the “ REL Button” (4-6, Fig. 1). The REL marker will
then disappear from the LCD.
5. Auto Power Off Disable
This instrument has a “ Auto Power Off " function that can prolong battery life. The meter will
shut off automatically if none of the buttons are pressed in approx. 10 min.
To disable this function, select the memory record function during a measurement by pressing
the " REC. Button” (4-4, Fig. 1 ).

6. RS232 PC Serial Interface Information
This instrument has RS232 PC serial interface via a 3.5 mm terminal (4-12, Fig. 1).
The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be utilized for user's specific application.
A RS232 lead with the following connection will be required to link the instrument with the PC
serial port.

The 16 digit data stream will be displayed in the following format:
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1D0
Each digit indicates the following status:
D15 Start Word
D14 4
D13 1
D12 & D11 Indicator for Display
°C = 01 °F = 02
D10 Polarity: 0 = Positive / 1 = Negative

Decimal Point (DP), position from right to left
0 = No DP, 1 = 1 DP, 2 = 2 DP, 3 = 3 DP
D8 to D1
Display reading, D1 = LSD, D8 = MSD
Example: If the display reading is 1234,
then D8 to D1 is: 00001234

7. Battery Replacement
1. When the LCD display shows the “ ” low battery symbol, It is necessary to
replace the battery. The specifications listed for this instrument do not apply when the
low battery symbol is displayed.
2. Open the “Battery Compartment” (4-9, Fig. 1) by first loosening the “Battery Cover
Screw s” (4-12, Fig. 1).
3. Replace the batteries with “good” batteries noting the correct polarity . Replace
“Battery Compartment” (4-9, Fig. 1) and “Battery Cover Screws” (4-12, Fig. 1). Ensure
the cov er is securely fastened.
