Operating Instructions
Power ON/OFF
Press the ON/OFFbuttonto turn the instrument on. Press and hold the
powerbuttontoturntheinstrumentoff.Whentheinstrumentison,itwill
begin an internal self-diagnosis at which time the full screen will be dis-
played. Once complete, the instrument is ready to take measurements.
Auto Power-Off
As a default the instrument will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of
inactivity. To turn off this feature:
1. Turn the instrument off.
2. PresstheON/OFFbutton(todisplaythefullscreen).
3. PresstheRANGbuttonwhentheinstrumentisinthemaintenance
state. AP-XX will appear on the display.
4. Press the buttonwhenAP-ONisdisplayed.AP-OFwillnow
appear, indicating that the automatic power-off is turned off.
5. PresstheON/OFFbuttontoexitthemaintenancestateandturn
the instrument off.
Output Function
Caution: Do not apply any voltage to the output terminal during the opera-
tion. If any improper voltage is applied to the output terminal, it will cause
damage to the internal circuit.
Note: The output terminal of the instrument can produce DC voltages or
can simulate thermocouple temperature set by the user.
