SECTION 3 GETTING STARTED
3.1 Main 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 115VAC or
230VAC 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.
Important: 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 V ac, solder jumpers W1
and W3 should be wired, but jumper W2 should not. If
your power requirement is 230 V ac, solder jumper W2
should be wired, but jumpers W1 and W3 should not.

3.4 Sensor Input Connections
Table 3-1. AMERICAN (USA) THERMOCOUPLE WIRE COLORS
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 Ò1Ó at the end of
the part number indicates a 1 degree resolution and Ò2Ó 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.

3.5 Analog Output Connections
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
