Operating Instructions
Turning the meter on
Press the button to turn the thermometer ON or OFF .
Connecting the temperature probe
For measurement, plug the temperature probe into the input connectors.
Selecting the Temperature Scale
When the meter is first turned on, the default scale setting is set to the
Celsius (°C) scale. It can be changed to Fahrenheit (°F) by pr essing
“ °C/°F ” button and vice versa back to Celsius.
Data-Hold Operation
To hold the present reading and keep it on the display, press the “ HOLD ” .
b
utton. When the hold data is no longer needed , release the data-hold
operation
by pressing “HOLD” button again.
When the meter is under Data Hold operation, the “ REL”,
and “°C/°F”
buttons are disabled.
Back light Operation
Press the “Back Light” button to turn the back light on,
press i t once again to turn it of f. The meter will turn the
back light off
automatically if the “Back Light ” button is not
pressed after 10 seconds

Relative Operation
When the “ REL” button is pressed, the meter will memorize the pr esent
reading and the difference between the new reading and the memorized
reading
and the result will be shown on the display. Press the “ REL ”
button again to exit the relative operation.
MAX/MIN/AVG Operation
When the
AVG
MAX MIN
button is pressed, the meter will enter the
MAX/MIN/AVG mode. Under this mode the maximum value, minimum
value and average value will appear simultaneously. The average value is
calculated using the last 8 readings from the memory, it will update with
every new r eading.
When the MAX symbol is displayed, the Maximum value is shown on the
display.
Press AVG
MAX MIN again and the NIN symbol is on the display and also
the
minimum r
eading.
Press AVG
MAX MIN again and the
AVG symbol is on the display as well as the
average reading.
Press AVG
MAX MIN again and the
MAX, MIN and AVG will blink together. This
means that all these readings are updated in the memory and the
r
eading is the current temperatur e.
Press AVG
MAX MIN to
circulate the display mode among these options.
When the meter is under
functions are disabled.

To exit the
MAX/MIN mode, press and hold

for two seconds.

Auto Power Of f
By default, the meter is in auto power off mode. The meter will power itself
off after 30 minutes without operation.
To
disable the auto power off, press and hold the “HOLD” button and turn
the meter on. There will be two successive beeps to indicate that the
auto power off has been disabled.
Low Battery
This meter indicates the battery power level directly on the display. Use
this reference guide to establish battery power level .
Battery power level is FULL, you can still
take measurements .
Battery power lever is LOW, the battery will
need to be replaced, you can still take
measur ements.
Battery power lever is EMPTY, the batteries
need to replaced (size AAA, 1.5V x 3). Y ou
can no longer take measurements .
For complete instructions on how to replace the batteries see page

Temperature Measurement
Correct Measurement Method
The temperature sensor is located at the
end of the metal sheath of the sheath
type temperature probe.
To accurately
test internal temperatures, insert the
probe to a distance of at least 15 times the
diameter of the sheath directly into the
item
you want to measur e.

Battery Replacement
1) Remove all of the back cover screws to be able to remove the cover.
2) Verify the polarity of the
batteries and install the new LR03 (AAA size)
Alkaline
batteries into the instrument.
3)
Replace cover properly onto the meter and tighten screws .
The unit’s back cover is fitted with rubber rings. After
replacing the batteries, check that the rubber rings ar e
properly placed before reinstalling the back cover. Impr oper
placement
of the rubber rings will compromise the unit’ s
water-resistant structure, and possibly result in damage to
the meter .

Calibration Procedure
Step 1) Make sure you have a certified reference thermometer that is at least
twice the accuracy of the thermometer to be recalibrated. Eg. RD0370R
https://www.scigiene.com/Scigiene-Reference-Thermometer-NIST-Traceable
Step 2) Insert temperature probe into https://www.scigiene.com/SCCAL-2-
Calibrator or https://www.scigiene.com/SCCAL-9-Calibrator or
https://www.scigiene.com/TempCalibrator140 at 0°C in order to calibrate
precisely, and follow the steps in the calibration setup instructions. NOTE regular
ice bath methods are not accurate enough to recalibrate these devices in order to
meet stated specifications.

Product Maintenance
In order to ensure the accuracy of the thermometer for a long period of
time it should be calibrated once a year. For service (repairs or calibration)
or additional information
on this or any other products , contact Scigiene
at 416-261-4865 or visit our website at: www.scigiene.com.
Clean the
device and the window of the display with a clean, lint-fr ee,
antistatic and dry cleaning cloth.
Do no use cleaning agents that contain carbon or
benzenes, alcohol or anything similar to clean the meter as
these substances
will damage the surface of the meter.
Do not use tools with sharp edges
, screwdrivers, metal brushes or
anything similar to clean the meter.
