• Additional documents providing safety information
The following documents can provide the operator with additional information to work with the
measuring system safely:
•specific notes on product safety.
•Use according to destination
This instrument is designed exclusively for temperature measurements both in the laboratory and directly
in the field.
Pay attention to the technical specifications shown in the INSTRUMENT FEATURES / TECHNICAL DATA table;
any other use is to be considered unauthorized.
This instrument has left the factory in perfect technical and safety conditions.
The regular functionality of the device and the operator safety are guaranteed only if all the normal
laboratory safety standards are respected and if all the specific safety measures described in this manual
are observed.
•Basic requirement for safe use
The regular functionality of the device and the operator safety are guaranteed only if all the following
indications are respected:
•the instrument can be used in accordance with the specifications mentioned above only;
•the instrument must operate exclusively in the environmental conditions indicated in this manual;
• the only part of the instrument that can be opened by the user is the battery compartment.
Perform other operations only if explicitly authorized by the manufacturer.
•Unauthorised use
The instrument must not run, if:
•it is visibly damaged (for example due to transportation);
•it has been stored for a long period of time in adverse conditions (exposure to direct light, heat sources
or places saturated by gas or vapours) or in environments with conditions different from those
mentioned in this manual.
•Device maintenance
If used correctly and in a suitable environment, the instrument does not require maintenance procedures.
It is recommended to occasionally clean the instrument case with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.

Choose the type of probe to be used
K / T
P 7.1

Note: For further settings please refer to the Setup Menu.
•Measurement
Always connect the probe before switching on the instrument.
Switch on the instrument with key. After the initial self-diagnosis, the instrument goes directly into
measurement. Position the probe at the point to be measured and wait for stability.
When the reading becomes stable, the icon appears on the display. If this icon does not appear and
there are scrolling red bands do not consider the reading as the final value. Always wait for
measurement stability.
If the temperature sensor is not connected, the following message appears “CONNECT THE PROBE”,
accompanied by the flashing of .
•MAX/MIN Function
During the measurement press the button to start recording the minimum and maximum value.
The display will flash "MIN/MAX REC".
Press the key once to see the maximum value reached up to that moment, press it another time to
see the minimum value reached up to that moment. Pressing again will return the instrument to record the
MAX/MIN value with the flashing letters.
To exit MAX/MIN recording, press and hold the button for at least 3 seconds, “MIN/MAX REC" will disappear
from the display.
Note: If auto power off is set, then the instrument will switch off after 20 minutes. If you wish to
record the minimum and maximum values over a longer period, you must disable auto power off
P9.9.
•HOLD Function
During measurement press the button to stop the reading. HOLD appears on the display and the
reading stops. Press again to unlock reading.
Note: During MAX/MIN value recording the HOLD function is disabled.
Note: during the MAX/MIN function (recording and recalling values) and HOLD the appearance of
a smile indicates that the measurement at that time is stable. If there are red bands
then the measurement is not stable.
Note: during the MAX/MIN (recording and recalling values) and HOLD functions, if the probe is
disconnected, the display switches to measurement mode and the message "CONNECT THE
PROBE" will appear on the display, accompanied by the flashing of the icon .

Other Features
•Automatic switch-off
The instrument shuts down automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity. To disable automatic shutdown
To disable automatic shutdown, go to parameter P9.9 in the Setup menu and select Off.
•Offset adjustment
All instruments are factory pre-calibrated and remain stable over time, but in the event of a reading error,
the instrument can be recalibrated to eliminate this error.
To recalibrate the instrument at 0.0°C proceed as follows:
•prepare ice with double-distilled water;
•place the ice cubes in a 500ml beaker up to half its volume;
•add double-distilled water until it reaches ¾ of its volume;
•place the beaker on a magnetic stirrer under gentle agitation;
•immerse the probe in the beaker, ensuring that it is immersed in water and does not touch the wall of
the beaker;
•cover the beaker with polystyrene to isolate the water/ice mixture from the air as much as possible;
•stir for about 10 minutes;
•in this way a temperature of 0°C is reached.
If the instrument reads 0.0°C (± measurement chain accuracy) then the instrument is operating correctly
and no adjustment is required, if not, go to the Setup menu P7.2, adjust the value using the arrows and
confirm with the key. or arrows and confirm with the key .
In the centre of the display, the corrected temperature is displayed in large letters, while the partial value
of the adjustment is displayed below it.
The adjustment affects the entire measurement scale, e.g. if you correct by -1.0°C, then the measurement
shifts by -1.0°C over the whole range.
The setting made in this way remains in the memory both after switching off the instrument and when
replacing the batteries.
If the probe is replaced, reset the factory calibration from the Setup menu P7.6, and proceed with the new
calibration if necessary.
Note: if there is no probe connected, it is not possible to change the offset.
A "CONNECT THE PROBE" error will be displayed, accompanied by a flashing icon .
