1.2 How to Operate And Maintain Device
•Battery Operation
If and „bAt“ are shown in lower display, the battery has been used up and needs to be replaced. The
device will, however, continue operating correctly for a certain time.
If ´bAt´ is shown in the upper display the battery has been completely used up.
The battery has to be taken out, when storing device above 50°C.
Hint: We recommend to take out battery if device is not used for a longer period of time!
•Mains Operation
Attention: When using a power supply unit please note that operating voltage has to be 10.5 to 12 V DC. Do not
apply overvoltage!! Simple 12V-power supplies often have excessive no-load voltage. We, therefore, recommend
using regulated voltage power supplies. Trouble-free operation is guaranteed by our power supply GNG10/3000.
Prior to connecting the plug power supply with the mains supply make sure that the operating voltage stated at the
power supply is identical to the mains voltage.
•Treat device and probes carefully. Use only in accordance with above specification. (do not throw, hit against etc.).
Protect plugs and sockets from soiling.
•To disconnect sensor plug do not pull at the cable but at the plug.
•When connecting the probe the plug will slide in smoothly if plug is entered correctly.
•Selection of Output-Mode: The output can be used as serial interface or as analogue output. This choice has to
be done in the configuration menu.
1.3 Connections
1.
Output: Operation as interface: Connect to optically isolated
interface adapter (accessory: GRS 3100 or GRS3105)

3 Some Basics Of Precision Temperature Measuring
•Probe Precision/Device Precision
The device is very precise (please refer to technical data). To be able to use this high precision, the connected temperature
probe has to be as precise as possible, too. The following precision classes are available as a standard at reasonable prices
(Platinum resistor thermometers according to EN60751):
Class Error ranges
B ± (0,3 + 0,005 • |temperature|)
1/3 B (=1/3 DIN) ± (0,1 + 0,0017 |temperature|)
1/10 B (=1/10 DIN) ± (0,03 + 0,0005 • |temperature|)

Error over measuring range Pt100
Error over range –50...150°C Pt100
For applications demanding higher precision than given by this classes we suggest to adjust the device to the used probe or to
get a calibration certificate for the device combined with the probe.
Attention: if an adjusted or calibrated probe is replaced, also the adjustment or calibration certificate has to be renewed to
maintain the referring overall precision!
Be careful when buying third party temperature probes: Besides the standard EN60751 there are some other obsolete or
unusual standards on the market. If such a probe has to be connected, the user sensor curve (have a look to the referring
chapter) can be used to adjust the instrument!
•4-Wire-Measuring
When using resistance thermometers as the Pt100 a quite large measuring error can be caused by inadequate cables and
connections. Using 4wire measuring avoids this kinds of errors mainly caused by unwanted resistances. It is suggested to use
suitable probes and extensions only.
•Heat loss caused by probe construction:
Especially when measuring temperatures which deviate very much from the ambient temperature, measuring errors often occur
if the heat loss caused by the probe is not considered. When measuring fluids therefore the probe should be emerged
sufficiently deep and be stirred continuously. When measuring gases the probe should also emerge as deep as possible in the
gas to be measured (e.g. when measuring in channel/pipes) and the gas should flow around the probe at sufficient flow.
•Measuring Surface Temperature
If temperature of the surface of an object has to be measured, one should pay attention especially when measuring hot (or very
cold) surfaces, that the ambient air cools (or heats) the surface. Additionally the object will be cooled (or heated) by the probe
or the probe can have a better heat flow to the ambient temperature as to the objects surface.
Therefore specially designed surface probes should be used. The measuring precision depends mainly on he construction of
the probe and of the physics of the surface itself. If selecting a probe try to choose one with low mass and heat flow from
sensor to handle. Thermally conductive paste can increase the precision in some cases.
•Allowable temperature Range Of Probes
Pt100 Sensors are defined over a wide temperature range. Depending on probe materials and sort of sensor (e.g. hybrid
sensors, wire wound resistors...) the allowable temperature ranges have to be considered. Exceeding the ranges at least
causes a wrong measuring, it may even damage the probe permanently!
Often it also has to be considered, that the temperature range is just valid for the probe tube, (plastic-) handles can’t stand the
same high temperatures. Therefore the tube length should be selected long enough, that temperature keeps low at the handle.
•Self Heating
The measuring current of the instrument is just 0.3mA. Because of this comparably low current practically now self heating
effect has to be considered, even at air with low movement the self heating is <= 0.01°C.
•Cooling by Evaporation
When measuring air temperature the probe has to be dry. Otherwise the cold due to the evaporation causes too low
measurings.

4 Special Functions
4.1 Display Resolution
Standard setting: 'Auto', i.e. the device automatically switches over to the optimum resolution between .01° and 0.01°.
If temperatures to be measured are near the switching threshold, a fixed resolution may be better, e.g. for easy
recording. In such a case please select the optimum resolution manually.
4.2 User Sensor Curve ('Lin USEr')
By means of this function besides the standard conversion of resistance to temperature following EN60751(Lin E.751)
also other curves can be used. The user sensor curve can be read and edited by the configuration software
MHKONFIG. The standard setting ex works is also set to the EN60751 data. The curve is defined by a table with two
columns (input resistance[Ohm]/output temperature [°C]) with 50 rows.
Info: The sensor curve following EN60751 uses the international temperature scale ITS90 and following formulas:
Temperatures <0°C:
Temperatures >=0°C:
4.3 Zero Displacement ('Offset')
A zero displacement can be carried out for the measured temperature:
temperature displayed = temperature measured - offset
Standard setting: 'off' = 0.0°, i.e. no zero displacement will be carried out. Together with the scale correction (see
below) this factor is mainly used to compensate for sensor deviations. Unless the factor is set to 'off', the offset arrow in
the display shows an active zero displacement.
4.4 Scale Correction ('Scale')
The scale of the measuring can be influenced by this setting (factor is in %):
displayed temperature[°C] = measured temperature[°C] * (1+Scal/100)
respectively displayed temperature[°F] = (measured temperature [°F]-32°F) * (1+Scal/100) + 32°F
Standard setting: 'off' =0.000, i.e. temperature is nor corrected. Together with the zero displacement (see above) this
factor is mainly used to compensate for sensor deviations.
Unless the factor is set to 'off', the Corr arrow in the display shows an active scale correction.
4.5 Output
The output can be used as serial interface (for GRS3100 or GRS3105 interface adapters) or as analogue output (0-
1V). If none of both is needed, we suggest to switch the output off, because battery life then is extended.
4.5.1 Interface - Base Address ('Adr.')
By using an electrically isolated interface converter GRS3100 or GRS3105 (accessory) the device can be connected to
a PC. With the GRS3105 it is possible to connect up to 5 instruments to a single interface (please also refer to
GRS3105-manual). As a precondition the base addresses of all devices must not be identical. In case several devices
will be connected via one interface make sure to configure the base addresses accordingly. In order to avoid
transmission errors, there are several security checks implemented (e.g. CRC).
The following standard software packages are available for data transfer:
§EBS9M: 9-channel software to record and display the measuring values
§EASYControl: Universal multi-channel software (EASYBUS-, RS485-, and/or MH3000- operation possible) for
real-time recording and presentation of measuring data in the ACCESS®-data base format.
In case you want to develop your own software we offer a MH3000-development package including
- an universally applicable 32bit Windows functions library ('MH3000.DLL') with documentation that can be used by
all 'serious' programming languages.
- Programming examples for Visual Basic 6.0™, Delphi 1.0™, Testpoint™, Labview™
Note: The measuring and range values read via interface are always in the selected
display unit (°C/°F)!

4.5.2 Analogue Output – Scaling with DAC.0 and DAC.1
With the DAC.0 and DAC.1 values the output can be rapidly scaled to Your efforts.
Keep in mind not to connect low-resistive loads to the output, otherwise the output value will be wrong and battery life is
decreased. Loads above ca 10kOhm are uncritical.
If the display exceeds the value set by DAC.1, then the device will apply 1V to the output
If the display falls below the value set by DAC.0, then the device will apply 0V to the output
In case of an error (Err.1, Err.2, no sensor, etc.) the device will apply slightly above 1V to the output.

5 Operation Of Logger
The device supports two different logger functions:
„Func-Stor“: each time when „store“ (key 6) is pressed a measurement will be recorded.
„Func-CYCL“: measurements will automatically be recorded at each interval, which was set in the logger menu
‚CYCL‘ until the logger will be stopped or the logger memory is full. The recording is started by
pressing „Store“ 2 seconds.
The logger records 1 measurement result each time
For the evaluation of the data the software GSOFT3050 (V1.7 or higher) has to be used. The software also allows easy
configuration and starting of the logger.
When the logger is activated (Func Stor or Func CYCL) the hold function is no longer available, key 6 is solely used for
the operation of the logger functions.
5.1 „Func-Stor“: Storing Single Measurements
Each time when „store“ (key 6) is pressed a measurement and its time stamp will be recorded.
The recorded data can be viewed either in the display (when calling the configuration an additional menu „REAd LoGG“
is displayed, see below) or by means of the interface and a PC with GSOFT3050-software.
Max. number of measurings: 99
A measuring contains: - current measuring value at the time of recording
- time and date of the recording
After each recording „St. XX“ will be displayed for a short time. XX represents the number of the recording.
When logger memory contains recordings already:
When „Store“ is pressed for 2 seconds, the choice for clearing the logger memory will be displayed:
The selection can be made by 5(key 2) and 6(key 5). "Quit" (key 6) enters the choice.
If the logger memory is full, the display will show:
Viewing Recorded Measurings
Within the „LoGG Stor“ function the measurings can be viewed directly in the display not only by means of a computer
(like at „Func CYCL“): press 2 seconds „Set“ (key 4): The first menu displayed now is „rEAd LoGG“ (read logger data).
After pressing 4(key 3) the measurement recorded last will be displayed, changing between the different data
referring to the measurement also is done by pressing 4.
Changing the measurement is done by pressing the keys 5or 6.

each 60 seconds.
Max. number of measurings: 16384
Cycle time: 0:01...60:00 (minutes:seconds, min 1s, max 1h), selectable in the configuration
A measuring contains: - current measuring value at the time of recording
Starting a recording:
By pressing "Store" (key 6) for 2 seconds the recording will be initiated. After that the display shows ‘St.XXXXX‘ for a
short time whenever a measuring is recorded. XXXXX is the number of the measuring 1..16384.
If the logger memory is full, the display will show: The recording automatically will be stopped.
Stopping the recording manually:
By pressing "Store" (key 6) the recording can be stopped manually. Then the following choice appears:
The selection can be made by 5(key 2) and 6(key 5). "Quit" (key 6) enters the choice.
Note: If you try to switch off the instrument in the cyclic recording operation You will
be asked once again if the recording should be stopped.
The device can only be switched off after the recording has been stopped!
The Auto-Power-Off-function is deactivated during recording!
