2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
1. This instrument is designed to
accept low level signals supplied by
standard Thermocouples. Under NO
circumstances should the input
voltage exceed the specified 50V
RMS.
2. To prevent ignition of a hazardous
atmosphere, batteries must only be
changed in an area known to be
non-hazardous.
CAUTION:
1. Do not use or store this instrument in
microwave ovens or any abnormally
hot or cold areas.
2. Weak batteries should not be left in
the instrument. Dead batteries can
leak and cause damage to unit.
DANGER:
1. Voltages present at the
Thermocouple may also be present
at the battery terminals. Always
disconnect the Thermocouple when
changing batteries.

4. BATTERY INSTALLATION AND
REPLACEMENT
The total battery life without
backlighting and alarm is about 400
hours. The battery bar annunciator
represents the battery strength. An
empty battery annunciator indicates low
battery strength; a blinking battery
annunciator indicates that the batteries
should be replaced immediately
.
Selecte d se ttin gs are stor ed in memory
and
will remain in memory even after
power is turned off, or while batteries
are being replac ed.
1. Before changing batter y , tur n
instrume
nt off and disconnect
thermocoupl
e.
2.
Loosen screw and lift batter y cover off
back of case.
3. Remove the t hree AA batteries.
4. Insert three
new batteri es observing
pol
arit y .
5. Install
cover and tig h ten screw .

5. INSERTING AND REMOVING
OPTIONAL RUBBER ARMOUR
1. To insert thermometer into the
optional rubber armor, slide in from
the top of meter before pushing the
bottom edges of meter down to set it
into position. Lift up the stand at the
back of meter for bench top
applications if necessary.
2. To remove thermometer from armor,
push out from the bottom edges of
meter until it is completely out of boot.

6. ASSEMBLING OPTIONAL
HANDSFREE ACCESORIES
You can use the optional magnets and
strap in the Handsfree Kit accessories for
hands free operations.

7. CONNECTING A THERMOCOUPLE
Use the correc t thermocouple t ype for
your instrume nt setting. Using an
incorr ect th ermocouple ty pe will resul t in
erroneous
readi ngs. T hermocouples are
colour coded by t ype using th e North
American ANSI Colour Code as follo w s:
TYPE COLOR
J Black
K Yello w
T Blue
E Purple
Thermocouple connectors have one wide
blade and one narrow blade. Do not force
connector in backwards. Connect
thermocouples to receptacles at top of
instrument as shown in the following
illustration.

- 10 -
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.
If no probe is connected the display will
read “open”.
T
hermocouples are sensitive at the tip or
measuring junction . W hen taki ng
measurements
, allow tim e for the reading
t o stabilize. Mu ltip lying the tim e constant
of the probe by 5 will give you the
approx imat e time required .

10. MEASUREMENT MODE
On initial start-up the meter will display
the measured value for input one in the
primary display and for input two in the
secondary display.
Pressing the
F2 key will toggle primary
display through input one (T1), input two,
and the delta (T1 – T2) values.
Pressing the
F1 key initiates and toggles
through Minimum, Maximum, and
Average reading modes.
Pressing
F3 enter accesses Setup mode.

11. HOLD FUNCTON
Press the hold key to retain the reading
on the display. Press the hold key again
for normal operation.
12. MIN, MAX, and AVE FUNCTION
Press the F1 key to toggle between the
minimum, maximum, and average
readings. The minimum and maximum
reading function is ideal for monitoring
unattended operations while continually
displaying every temperature change that
occurs. The minimum and maximum
values are sensed and automatically
stored.
To exit and clear this function, press the
F3 to access the Menu functions.
