The symbol on the instrument indicates that the operator must refer to an
explanation in this manual.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when working
voltages at the measurement surface over 24V AC or DC.
WARNING
To avoid damage or burns, do not make temperature
measurement in microwave ovens.
CAUTION
Repeated sharp flexing can break the thermocouple leads. To prolong
lead life, avoid sharp bends in the leads, especially near the connector.
INTRODUCTION
This instrument is a 3½ digit, compact-sized portable digital thermometer
designed to use external E-type thermocouples as temperature sensor.
Temperature indication follows Reference Temperature/Voltage Tables
(N.I.S.T. Monograph 175 Revised to ITS-90) for E-type thermocouples.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Itisrecommendedthatyoureadthesafetyandoperationinstructionsbefore

Fahrenheit(°F). When the thermometer is turned on, it is set to the
temperature scale that was in use when the thermometer was last turned
off. To change the temperature scale, press the °C or °F key.

MIN MAX record Mode
Press MIN MAX key to enter the MIN MAX Recording mode, (displays the
Maximum reading, Minimum reading, "MAX-MIN" reading and Average
reading stored in record mode). In the this mode the automatic power-off
feature is disabled and key, °C °F key, REL key, SET key, Hi/Lo Limits
key, T1 T2 T1-T2 key are disabled.The beeper emits a tone when a new
minimum or maximum value is recorded.
Push MIN MAX key to cycle through the MAX, MIN, MAX-MIN and AVG
readings.
If an overload is recorded, the averaging function is stopped and average
value display"-OL".
In the this mode, press HOLD key to stop the recording of readings, all
values are frozen, press again to restart recording.
To prevent accidental loss of MIN, MAX, "MAX-MIN" and AVG data, in this
mode can only be cancelled by pressing and hold down the MIN MAX key
for 2 seconds to exit and erased recorded readings.
