Controls and Indicators
1. REC - Starts record mode( relative
clock ), displays maximum and
minimum temperatures recorded on
the Primary screen along with the
relative time they were recorded.
2. MAX/MIN - Temperature recorded.
3. HOLD / REL - Freezes Primary
screen data or establishes a relative
zero for the Primary screen
information

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The meter will display all LCD segments
when it is first turned on, for
approximately 3 seconds. It will provide
information with either one (8851.8855)
or both thermocouples (8852.8856)
plugged in. Numerous viewing
combinations are available. The LCD is
divided into three distinct sections; one
large (Primary) top screen and two
smaller bottom screens (Secondary and
Relative Clock).

Temperature readings are easily
toggled between Fahrenheit and
Celsius
The back light illuminates the LCD
for viewing in low light areas
The HOLD button will freeze the
upper display data while allowing the
lower displays to continue updating
Information about selected functions
along with a low battery indicator is
also displayed as appropriate
The meter will default to the last
mode selected
The three display areas keep you
constantly updated with the temperature
measurements and relative time
information. You have a number of
options regarding how and what
information is presented on the LCD.
Note: If no thermocouples are plugged in,
four dashes(----) will appear in the
temperature data screens.

AUTO POWER OFF ( SLEEP MODE )
This instrument will shut off automatically
in approximately 20 minutes for every
power on. For recording or operating
over longer periods of time you can
disable the sleep mode by press and
simultaneously before power on.

screen , at which time you can release
the power button. The disable sleep
mode will be invalid after power off.
Press momentarily and
simultaneously for 2 or more seconds
until Kappeared , by pressing C/F button
the type of probe cycles through K
(the default), Jand Tthermocouple types,
or R.S.E. type for model 8855 , 8856 .
The current mode is displayed on the
left side of the LCD. press , an
"S " will appear in the center of screen.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
Replace your 9-volt battery when:
The BAT icon appears on the right
side of the LCD
The instrument will not power on
Use of the back-light causes the BAT
icon to appear
Even if the battery was recently replaced,
check its voltage level if you get no
response from your instrument.

light. T1, T2, or T1-T2 is
displayed on the Primary
screen; The Secondary
screen continues to update.
Press momentarily again
and the unit cycles through
MAX and MIN (maximum
and Minimum recorded
temperatures) and back to
current temperature; The
record mode is displayed on
the LCD. Press and hold
for three seconds to
turn off the record function
To replace the batteries:
1. Remove the thermocouples from the
top of the instrument.
2. Lay the instrument face down on a
clean, flat surface.
3. Remove the battery cover by a screw
driver
4. Replace the battery, observing
indicated polarity and close the cover
by screw driver.

Remove batteries from instruments that
you do not plan to use for a month or
more. Do not leave batteries in
instruments that may be exposed to
temperature extremes.
