OPERATION WARNINGS
Read this entire instruction sheet and follow these operation warnings carefully to
ensure accurate and reliable TEMPOINT service.
•Never overheat the unit beyond maximum faceplate indication.
•Do not bend the STEM.
•Avoid any shock to the TEMPOINT.
•Never immerse the STEM directly in corrosive chemicals or temperature baths.
Use in such applications requires a protective well (i.e., a stainless steel tube)
of suitable length and of a material that will withstand the corrosive action of
the medium.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Step Temperature Measurement Instructions
1 Insert at least 2 inches of the STEM into the measurement medium (for
example, heated air in the ductwork of a furnace flue).
2 Read the temperature on the dial scale when the pointer position
becomes constant.

USING THE HOLDING CLIP
Use the holding clip to support the TEMPOINT in sheet metal duct or pipe.
Step Using the Holding Clip
1 Pull CLIP (A) to
the end of the
STEM (B) with
the bent CLIP
END (D) up.
2 Insert the bent
CLIP END into a
¼ “ diameter
(punched or
drilled) HOLE
(C).
3 Push the STEM
through the
HOLE to the
proper depth.
4 Release the
TEMPOINT and
the holding CLIP
will retain it
securely in the
HOLE.
MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
Flue gas temperature should be measured between the barometric draft regulator
or draft diverter and the flue outlet of the heating equipment. A ¼” diameter HOLE
in the flue pipe (at least 6” from the draft regulator or diverter) is required. Insert
the STEM through the HOLE so that the end of the STEM is not less than 2” from
the wall of the flue pipe. Operate the combustion unit until the TEMPOINT reading
is constant.

NOTE: When using the Bacharach, Inc. Fire Efficiency Finder to calculate
the combustion efficiency, deduct the temperature of the air supplied
for combustion from this TEMPOINT reading.
If necessary, obtain the heating equipment manufacturer’s recommendations as to
the proper flue gas temperature range for the equipment being tested.
TEMPOINT MAINTENANCE
TEMPOINT temperature indication may be adjusted or reset by gripping the hex
hub at the top of the STEM with a 6” adjustable crescent wrench and slowly
rotating the bezel until the pointer indicates the proper temperature (clockwise to
decrease, and counter-clockwise to increase).
