INTRODUCTION
Your digital thermometer accurately measures temperature in
Centigrade or Fahrenheit from -200°C to 1370°C (-328°F to 2498°F).
It conforms to the National Bureau of Standards and IEC584
temperature and voltage tables for K-type thermocouple probes.
Features include a data hold function, maximum and minimum value
recording, memory and clock functions, and a low battery indicator.
An RS232 interface allows the unit to communicate with a computer.
Applications include HVAC, lab work, environmental work,
process control, and the food industry.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Setting the Clock
1. Press the green on/o󰀨 button and MAX/MIN button
simultaneously, release.
2. The meter will show SEL.
3. Press the CLOCK button to select the year, month, day, hour
and minute (in that order).
4. To set the year, month, day, hour and minute, press the ▲ button
to increase the number and the ▼ button to decrease the number.
5. Press the CLOCK button again to exit clock setup.
6. To cancel the setup process at any time, press the power button
to turn the meter o󰀨.
Taking Measurements
1. Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. The amount of
available memory space will be displayed.
2. Plug the thermocouple plug into the meter.
3. The meter will default to the temperature scale last used. Press
the °C/°F button to change the temperature scale, if necessary.
4. Begin taking temperature readings.
5. Press the HOLD button to freeze the temperature reading. H
will be displayed.
Note...
When the data hold function is active, the REL, MAX/MIN, and
°C/°F buttons will be disabled. If you press these buttons, two
beeps will sound.
6. To resume measurement, press the HOLD button again.
7. To cancel setup process at any time without saving the
changes, press the power button to turn the meter o󰀨.
Recording Data
Each time you use the REC button to record data, a data set will
be stored in the memory. Up to 16241 records can be stored.
1. Press the REC button to begin recording data.
2. To stop recording data, press the REC button again.

Clearing Data from Memory
1. With the meter turned o󰀨, press and hold both the POWER
button and the REC button for at least 2 seconds.
2. Release the power button, then release the REC button.
CLR will be displayed.
Relative Operation
When the meter is in relative operation mode the °C/°F button
wil be disabled. Two beeps will sound when the REL button is
pressed.
1. Press the REL button. The meter will now store the current
reading. The di󰀨erence between the stored data and the new
reading will be displayed.
2. When you have nished, press the REL button again to exit
relative operation mode.
3. To resume measurement, press the HOLD button again.
Setting the Recording Interval for Datalogging
1. With the meter turned o󰀨, press and hold the MAX/MIN
button.
2. Press the POWER button to turn the meter on. Release the
buttons.
3. Press the HOLD button to select minutes and seconds.
4. To set minutes and seconds, press the ▲ button to increase the
number and the ▼ button to decrease the number.
CALIBRATION
Ice Point Calibration
Rinse container, gloves and tolls with pure distilled water. Using
shaved ice made from pure distilled water, ll container and add
distilled water. The ice bath is ready when there is no ice oating
and no excess water on the surface. Stir the ice bath to cool the
water. Immerse the probe for 2 minutes. Without removing the
probe from the ice bath, use the calibration screw to adjust the
thermometer to 0°C/32°F.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
If the meter is not used for 30 minutes, it will shut o󰀨 automatically.
To disable automatic shuto󰀨:
1. With the meter turned o󰀨, press and hold down the HOLD button.
2. Press the POWER button to turn the meter on. Release the
buttons. Two beeps will sound to indicate that automatic shuto󰀨
is disabled.
3. The automatic shuto󰀨 feature will reactivate the next time the
unit is turned on.
