2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
1. This instrument is designed to accept
low level signals supplied by standard
RTDs. 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 RTD may
also be present at the battery
terminals. Always disconnect the RTD
when changing batteries.

7. CONNECTING A RTD
Use the correct 100 ΩRTD (alpha =
0.003850) for your instrument. Using
an incorrect probe type will result in
erroneous readings. Insert the 3-pin
plug into the mating connector on the
top of the instrument.
If no probe is connected the display
will read “open”.

tim
e constant of the probe by 5 will
give you the approx imat e time
