OPERATION
1. Plug the probe into the receptacle located on the right side of the unit (9, fig. 1).
2. Pressthe ON/OFF key (2,fig. 1)to turn the unit on.
3. Pressthe °F/°C key(3, fig. 1) to change thedisplay to Fahrenheitor Celsius.
4. Pressthe .0/.00/.000 key (4,fig. 1)to change the displayto read the desired
resolution.
5. Turn the ON/OFF key (2,fig. 1)to the “OFF”position when the thermometer is
not inuse to prolong battery life.
6. Use the probe to monitor temperatures inair/gas, liquids, and semi-solids. Place
the stainless-steel portion of probe in contact with the material to be measured.
In mostinstancesthe depth ofthe probe needsto be approximately ½ inch.
HISTORY MODE
History providesan effortless method to observe when a temperature change takes
place.It continuouslydisplays for thepast24 hours starting with 1 hour ago. If left on
for more than 24 hours, it displays only the most recent 24 hours. History may be
reviewed at any time.
1. After 1 hour, Press HISTORY (5, fig. 1) once to show the current or first hour
reading. The display will show “1”on the far right to indicate this isthe first
reading. After approximately two seconds,the displaywill show the temperature
and “min” which indicates this isthe minimum reading for the first hour. After
approximately two more seconds,the display willagain show “1”. The display
continues to alternate between these two displays. While in the historymode,
the °F/°C (3, fig.1) or .0/.00/.000 (4, fig. 1)keysmay be used to selectthe
desired format.
2. The secondpressof the HISTORY keyshowsthe maximumtemperature for the
current or first hour. After approximatelytwo more seconds, the displaywill show
“1”.
3. With each pressof the HISTORY key, theunit will scrollthroughall 48 minimum
and maximum readings.
4. To exit the history mode,pressthe CLEAR key (7, fig. 1) or MIN/MAX key(8, fig.
1). Aslong asthe unit is in the history mode,pressing the CLEAR key alone will
not clear the history.
5. To clear history, first exit history mode (see 4 above) and then press HISTORY
and CLEAR simultaneously. Turning the unit off does not clear history.
RECALL MINIMUM/MAXIMUM
1. Press MIN/MAX (8, fig. 1) to view the minimum and maximum temperatures
recorded since turning the unit onor since clearingmin/max.
2. Pressthe MIN/MAX key once to display the minimum temperature. The lower
portion of the displayshows“MIN”indicating that this isthe minimum reading.
While in theMIN/MAX mode, select the desired format with the °F/°C (3, fig. 1)
or .0/.00/.000 (4, fig. 1) keys.
3. Pressthe MIN/MAX key again to display the Maximum temperature. The lower
portion of the displayshows“MAX” indicating that this is the maximumreading.
A third press will return the display to the current reading.
4. MIN/MAX maybe reviewed at any time.
5. To clear theMIN/MAX, place the unit in normal mode (not reviewing the
MIN/MAX) and press MIN/MAX and CLEAR simultaneously. You may also clear
MIN/MAX byturning the unit off.
HOLD FUNCTION
1. Pressthe HOLD key(6, fig 1) once to “freeze” thedisplay at the current
temperature reading.“HOLD” appearson the lowerportion of the display
indicating that the unitis in hold mode.
2. While in theHOLDmode, select the desired format with the °F/°C (3, fig. 1) or
.0/.00/.000 (4, fig. 1) keys.
3. Pressthe HOLD keya second time to return to the current temperature reading.
“HOLD” will no longer appear on the display.
POWER
Do not turn the unit on and off rapidly. It may lock the display. When turning the unit
on/off the microprocessor may become locked, inoperable, orthe display may read
“888888.” If thisoccurs, reset the thermometerby removing the battery, waiting 15
seconds, and replacing the battery.

DISPLAY WARNINGS
“LLL” Displayed when the temperature being measured isbelow the rangeof the unit
or when there is an openprobeor no probe.
“HHH” Displayed when the temperature being measured is above the range of the
unit orwhen there is a shortedprobe.
“BAT” Displayed when the battery islow and needsto be replaced. See Battery
section for battery replacement instructions.
RECEPTACLES
The receptacle on the right side of the unit (9, fig.1) isfor the probe. The upper left
side receptacle (10, fig.) is foran AC Adaptor.The lower left side receptacle is for the
serial data cable for the Data Acquisition System (11, fig.1).
DATA ACQUISITION SOFTWARE
The enclosed diskis the software program for data acquisition.On the diskis the data
acquisition program and a demo program.The program canbe installed and the
demo. For instructionson use, print outthe READ ME file on the disk. Windows®is
required. In order to use theactual data acquisition program the Accessory Data
Cable Cat No. 4235 is required.See Accessories section forordering information.
BATTERY
If the letters “BAT” appear on the display, itindicates thebatteriesare low and needto
be replaced.To replace the battery, slide thebattery cover locatedon theback ofthe
unit away from theunit.Remove the old batteryand replace it witha new9-Volt
alkaline battery. Use an alkaline battery, NOT a regularor heavy duty battery. Properly
connect the battery. Replace the battery cover. Incorrectlyinstalled batteries may
damage electronics.
Turn the ON/OFF key (2,fig.1) to the “OFF”position when the thermometer is not in
use to prolong batterylife.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this thermometer does not function property for any reason please replace the
battery with a new9-Volt alkaline battery Battery section,above). Low batterypower
can occasionallycause any numberof “apparent” operational difficulties. Replacing
the batterywitha new fresh battery willsolve most difficulties.
