PREFACE
Manual Objectives: This manual shows you how to set up and
use the Panel Thermometer.
This meter is an economical Miniature Temperature Panel
Thermometer featuring a large display with a linearized analog
output that is supplied as a standard feature.
Each of the models* can be converted by the user to display in
degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. However, due to the internal
design of the meter, the input type and resolution CANNOT
be changed on any J, K, T, or unit.
The meter is available in many different styles. All of the
Thermocouple models listed in Table 1-1 come standard with
red LEDs, and can be ordered with a green LED display as an
option. The part numbers would include a “G”.
xample: 205-JF1,G,C0
Also, these thermocouple meters can be ordered with different
power configurations. Refer to Table 1-3 for available choices.
*Refer to Table 1-1 for the complete listing of models available.

1.2 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
This device is marked with the international Caution symbol. It is important to read this
manual before installing or commissioning this device as it contains important
information relating to Safety and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility .
Unpacking & Inspection
Unpack the instrument and inspect for obvious shipping damage. Do not attempt to
operate the unit if damage is found.
This instrument is a panel mount device protected in accordance with Class I of EN 61010
(115/230 AC power connections . Installation of this instrument should be done by
Qualified personnel. In order to ensure safe operation, the following instructions should
be followed.
This instrument has no power-on switch. An external switch or circuit-breaker shall be included in
the building installation as a disconnecting device. It shall be marked to indicate this function, and
it shall be in close proximity to the equipment within easy reach of the operator. The switch or
circuit-breaker shall not interrupt the Protective Conductor (Earth wire , and it shall meet the
relevant requirements of IEC 947–1 and IEC 947-3 (International Electrotechnical Commission .
The switch shall not be incorporated in the mains supply cord.
Furthermore, to provide protection against excessive energy being drawn from the mains supply
in case of a fault in the equipment, an overcurrent protection device shall be installed.
• The Protective Conductor must be connected for safety reasons. Check that the power
cable has the proper Earth wire, and it is properly connected. It is not safe to operate
this unit without the Protective Conductor Terminal connected.
• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the top of the instrument
housing.
• Always disconnect power before changing signal and power connections.
• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety reasons.
• Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive atmospheres.
• Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
• Unit mounting should allow for adequate ventilation to ensure instrument does not
exceed operating temperature rating.
• Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain and power
requirements. Install without exposing bare wire outside the connector to minimize
electrical shock hazards.
EMC Considerations
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
• Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.
• Install Ferrite Bead(s on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems
persist.

SECTION 3 GETTING STARTED
3.1 Mai Board Power Jumpers
Caution: The meter has no power-on switch, so it will be
in operation as soon you apply power.
The meter can be configured to operate on 115 Vac or
230 Vac by the proper combination of the soldered wire
jumpers that are located on the printed circuit board. The
meter is set at the factory to be powered by the voltage
specified at the time of ordering. The same transformer is
used for either configuration, so all you need to do is to
select the jumpers as described in this section.
Importa t: These changes must be performed by a
qualified technician.
To change the Factory preset jumpers, do the following steps
Disconnect the power from the unit before proceeding.
1. Remove the main board from the case. Refer to
Disassembly/Assembly Section 3.8.
2. Locate the solder jumpers W1, W2, and W3 (located near
the edge of the main board alongside the transformer).
3. If your power requirement is 115 Vac, solder jumpers W1
and W3 should be wired, but jumper W2 should not. If
your power requirement is 230 Vac, solder jumper W2
should be wired, but jumpers W1 and W3 should not.

3.2 Co verti g °F to °C (vice versa)
You must remove the printed circuit board from the case
in order to change from the Fahrenheit to Celsius or vice
versa). This change must be performed by a qualified
technician in order to avoid damage to the unit.
Disconnect the power from the unit before proceeding.
Degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius are selectable
parameters. All you need to do is change the location of the
shorting jumper at S3, using needle-nose pliers.
1. Disconnect all wires
and move the unit
from the panel (if
installed).
2. Remove the printed
circuit board from
the case as
described in
Section 3-8.
3. Follow the instructions to convert to:
Celsius: .
The unit will display degrees Celsius when the shorting jumper
is connected to both pins at S3. Refer to Figure 3-2, Detail A.
Fahrenheit: .
The unit will display degrees Fahrenheit if the shorting jumper
at S3 is NOT connecting the 2 pins. Refer to Figure 3-2,
Detail B. By keeping the shorting jumper on one pin, you are
keeping it handy in case you want to change the display back
to degrees C.

for the panel thickness, and the mounting clamp for mounting
the unit in a panel. Connections will be done after mounting
the unit.
1. Remove the lens by inserting a paper clip or a small flat
blade screwdriver into the rounded corner of the lens and lift
out.
2. Remove the two mounting screws from both sides of the
display. Pry both sides of the mounting clamp out and down
to remove it from the meter case.
3. Insert the meter into the panel cutout and reinstall the
mounting clamp to the bottom of the meter case from the
rear of the panel.
4. Re-install the mounting screws to secure the meter in the
panel. Do not over-tighten the screws.
5. Pop the lens back in, making sure the dull side of the lens
faces towards you.

3.4 Se sor I put Co ectio s
Table 3-1. AMERI AN (USA) THERMO OUPLE WIRE OLORS
The meter is configured at the factory for the desired
thermocouple type (J, K, T, E) and the desired units of measure
(°C or °F), as defined by the customer at the time of purchase.
The meter configuration is defined in the part number. For
example, a Type T meter that reads in degrees Fahrenheit
would have a "-TF2" in the part number. The “1” at the end of
the part number indicates a 1 degree resolution and “2” at the
end of the part number indicates a 0.1 degree resolution. See
Table 1-1 for model number listing.
Once the meter is configured for a particular
thermocouple type, it CANNOT be changed to accept any
other input type. It becomes dedicated to that
thermocouple type as ordered.

To connect the input to the unit, attach the thermocouple probe to
the 2-pin female connector that is supplied with the unit. Refer to
Figure 3-4 for wiring instructions and Table 2-1 for wire colors.
Plug the female connector into the P3 male connector at the

3.5 A alog Output Co ectio s
The analog output is a linearized millivolt signal that is
equivalent to the displayed temperature. It comes as a standard
feature with every unit. The resolution of the analog output is no
greater than the resolution of the display.
The analog output is a non-isolated signal, therefore, it is
recommended that an ungrounded thermocouple probe
be used to prevent ground loop problems.
To access the analog signal, attach copper wire to the 3-pin
female connector that is supplied with the meter. Refer to
Figure 3-5 for wiring instructions. Plug the female connector
into the P2 (male) connector at the rear of the meter.
Figure 2-2 shows the location of the P2 connector on the
meter. Note that this connector shares a common return with
the “Display old” function.
