3.1 Scope of delivery
The scope of supply includes:
•Device with 2 batteries type AA
•Fixed connected temperature probe (not G 1700)
•Operating Manual
•Calibration protocol
3.2 Operating and Maintenance
1.Temperature measuring / probe connection:
For the models with fixed connected probes, the device is factory-adjusted to the
temperature probe – here the highest system accuracy can be achieved.
To optimize the accuracy, an offset and a slope correction can be executed at the
G 1700 (take a look at chapter 8 Adjustment of temperature input).
By the devices with fixed connected temperature probes, it is not necessary.
2.Battery operation:
If the battery has been used up and needs to be replaced, the empty frame of the
battery symbol starts blinking. The device will, however, continue operating
correctly for a certain time.
The battery has been completely used up, if ´bAt´ is shown in the main display.
Battery replacement: (see chapter 10 Replacing batteries).
The battery has to be removed, when storing device above 50°C.
We recommend taking out the batteries if device is not used for a longer
period of time.
3.Treat device and probes carefully. Use only in accordance with above specification.
(do not throw, hit against etc.). Protect plug and socket from soiling.

5 Start operation
Be sure that suitable batteries are inserted (see chapter 10 Replacing batteries).
Turn device on via key “on/off”.
After segment test the device displays some information about his configuration in the
“auxiliary display”:
T.OF If there are made a zero point correction for the temperature (see
chapter 8 Adjustment of temperature input).
T.SL If there are made a slope correction for the temperature probe (see
chapter 8 Adjustment of temperature input).
POFF If “auto-power-off” is active - after the set time the instrument is switched
off if no key is pressed (see chapter 7 Configuration).
When using interchangeable probes the accuracy of the whole
measuring instrument can be optimized with slope- and zero point
correction. (see chapter 8 Adjustment of temperature input).
Attention: If a correction is done this is only suitable for this specific
probe.
After that the device is ready for measuring.
6 Basics of the measurement
6.1 Probe accuracy/device accuracy G 1700
The G 1700 can be equipped with different interchangeable probes. The temperature
probes are classified into the following classes:
Class
Maximum deviation
Area of validity
B
± 0.3 °C ± 0.5 % of measured value
-50 … 500 °C
A
± 0.15 °C ± 0.2 % of measured value
-30 … 300 °C
AA (=1/3 DIN B)
± 0.1 °C ± 0.17 % of measured value
0 … 150 °C

H86.0.0X.6C-02 Operating Manual G 1700 Series page 8 of 14
_____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________
To receive high exchange accuracy without necessity of additional adjustment we
recommend the usage of temperature probes from the class “A” or “AA”.
6.2 Probe accuracy/device accuracy G 1700 / -20 / -30
The display unit and the probe of instruments with fixed mounted probes have been
matched very accurate ex works, see chapter 13 Specification.
6.3 Possible errors
•Immersion depth
For measurements in liquids the probe should be immersed sufficiently deep
(depending on probe diameter, at least 20 mm with Ø 3 mm and 10 mm with Ø
1.5 mm) and subsequently stirred.
When measuring gases the probe should also emerge as deep as possible in
the gas to be measured (e.g. when measuring in channels/pipes) and the gas
should flow around the probe at sufficient flow.
•Surface effects and bad heat transfer
For surface temperature measurements special surface probes are necessary.
Surface quality, heat transfer and ambient temperature have an influence on
the measurement result.
•Cooling (evaporation)
For air temperature measurements, the probe should be dry, otherwise it can
be possible that a too low temperature could be measured.
•Response time
Before reading the measured value at the measuring process, it is necessary to
wait a sufficient time (see chapter 13 Specification – Response time 90).

Slope correction of temperature measurement in [%]
The temperature input can be adjusted with offset (T.OF) and scale (T.SL). A
reasonable adjustment presumes reliable references (e.g. ice water, controlled
precision water bath, etc.).
If the inputs are adjusted (i.e. offset and scale are different from factory settings) the
device will shortly display “T.OF“/ “T.SL“ after turned on.
Default setting for offset and scale are “OFF“= 0.00, i.e. inputs are not changed.
Zero point correction:
Displayed value = measured value –“ T.OF”
Zero point and slope correction:
Displayed value = (measured value - T.OF) •(1 + T.SL / 100)
Displayed value °F = (measured value °F - 32°F - T.OF) •(1 + T.SL / 100)
Example: Before starting the measurement, the values for “T.OF”and “T.SL” are set to
“0.00 (OFF)” – “°[“ is selected for the parameter “UN,T”. For reference in a
water bath, a clinical thermometer is used.
Display value in ice water (given value offset = 0.0 °C):
Display val. offset = -0.2 °C
Display value in water bath (given value slope = 37.0 °C):
Display val. slope = 36.6 °C
Calculation: T.OF= display value offset - given value offset= -0.2 °C – 0.0 °C = -0.2 °C
T.SL = (given value slope / (display val. slope - T.OF) - 1) * 100
= (37.0 °C / (36.6 °C - (-0.2)) - 1) * 100 ≈0.54 (rounded)
