4. BATTERY INSTALLATION AND
REPLACEMENT
If battery indicator turns on, battery
life is approximately 8 to 10 hours. The
battery indicator will start blinking with
less than 1 hour of life remaining.
Selected settings are stored in memory
and will remain in memory even after
power is turned off, or while batteries
are being replaced.
1. Before changing battery, turn
instrument off and disconnect
thermocouple.
2. Loosen screw and lift battery cover
off back of case.
3. Remove the two AA batteries.
4. Insert two new batteries observing
polarity.
5. Install cover and tighten screw.

11
CAUTION: WEAK BATTERIES
SHOULD NOT BE LEFT IN THE
INSTRUMENT. DEAD BATTERIES
CAN LEAK AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO
UNIT.
DANGER: VOLTAGES PRESENT AT
THE THERMOCOUPLE MAY ALSO
BE PRESENT AT THE BATTERY
TERMINALS. ALWAYS DISCONNECT
THE THERMOCOUPLE WHEN
CHANGING BATTERIES.
WARNING: TO PREVENT IGNITION
OF A HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE,
BATTERIES MUST ONLY BE
CHANGED IN AN AREA KNOWN TO
BE NON-HAZARDOUS.

5. SELF TEST
Press the ON/OFF key. The
thermometer performs a self-test and
all display digits and indicators, as
shown below, should remain on for
approximately one second.
6. CONNECTING A
THERMOCOUPLE
Use the correct thermocouple type for
your instrument. Using an incorrect
thermocouple type will result in
erroneous readings. Thermocouples
are colour coded by type using the
North American ANSI Color Code as
follows:
TYPE COLOR
J Black
K Yellow
T Blue
Thermocouple connectors have one
wide blade and one narrow blade. Do
not force connector in backwards.
Connect thermocouple to receptacle at
top of instrument as shown in the
following illustration.

13
Thermocouple wiring polarity must be
correct. If readings decrease as the
temperature increases, the
thermocouple wires may be reversed.
The red wire is negative for
thermocouple wires manufactured in
North America.

16
If a thermocouple is not connected or if
the thermocouple is defective, the
display will indicate OPEn.
Thermocouples are sensitive at the tip
or measuring junction. When taking
measurements, allow time for the
reading to stabilize. Multiplying the time
constant of the probe by 5 will give you
the approximate time required.
7. SELECTING TEMPERATURE
SCALE
Select °C or °F by pressing the °C/°F
key. Each time the key is pressed the
temperature scale will switch. Switching
between °C and °F can be done at any
time during operation.
Each time you turn the instrument on, it
will power up with the same settings
that were set when the unit was last
turned off.

17
8. HOLD FUNCTON
Press the HOLD key to retain the
reading on the display. Press the
HOLD key again for normal operation.
9. CALIBRATION
The thermometer is factory calibrated
and does not require calibration before
use. The CAL function allows single
point calibration of the thermometer, at
0°C (32°F) to compensate for
thermocouple off-set error. It is not
necessary to perform a field calibration
to obtain specified meter accuracy. Use
the field calibration feature to improve
thermometer/probe accuracy or to
compensate for thermocouple drift.
.
1. Pack sensing end of probe in a
container tightly packed with crushed
ice and filled with distilled water. Allow
temperature to stabilize.
2. Press and hold the CAL key for 5
seconds to enter the calibration mode,
the CAL annunciator on the display
starts blinking. Release the CALkey.
3. If the measured temperature is from
_10°C to10°C (14 to 50°F), when the

18
temperature reading is stable, press
the CAL key.
The CAL indicator will stop blinking
and the reading will be set to 0°C
(32°F). The CAL indicator will remain
turned on, indicating a field calibration
is active.
If “Err” is displayed, either the displayed
reading is outside the above limits or
the batteries are weak.
10. CANCELING A FIELD
CALIBRATION
1. Turn the thermometer off.
2. Hold the CAL key down while
pressing the ON/OFF key.
The field calibration is canceled and the
thermometer reverts to the default
factory calibration. The CAL
annunciator is now turned off.

19
11. FIELD CALIBRATION LOCKOUT
AND RE-ENABLE
The calibration lockout feature prevents
any field calibration changes. The
lockout remains in effect until a lockout
re-enable has been performed. Use
the following procedures to lockout or
re-enable the field calibration operation.
12. LOCKOUT PROCEDURE
1. Turn the thermometer off.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the
CAL and the °C/°F keys down and
momentarily press the ON/OFF key.
Continue to hold the CAL and °C/°F
keys for at least 5 seconds.

20
13. RE-ENABLE PROCEDURE
1. Turn the thermometer off.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the
HOLD and the CAL keys down and
momentarily press the ON/OFF key.
Continue to hold the HOLD and
CAL keys until the display blanks.
14. MAINTENANCE
Properly used, the thermometer should
maintain calibration indefinitely and not
require service other than occasional
cleaning of the housing and changing
of the batteries.
