safe use.
WARNING
This symbol found on the back of the instrument, calls attention to a potential
danger or hazard capable of resulting in a serious injury or loss of life, and the
operator must refer to this instruction manual to avoid the danger or hazard.
WARNING:This symbol in this manual indicates a potential danger or hazard capable of resulting in
a serious injury or loss of life.
CAUTION:This symbol in this manual indicates a potential danger or hazard capable of resulting in
severe but not irreversible injury or damage. In some instances, the hazards may be
those associated with WARNING symbols but are of significantly less magnitude.
NOTE:This symbol draws attention to information that is essential for understanding how to
operate the instrument and/or instrument features.
TIP:Gives information that complements the present topic.
■To avoid accidents, such as an electrical shock, which may lead to injury or loss of life to the
operator, or damage to the equipment, be sure to observe the following precautions.
WARNING
•Do not use the instrument to measure where there is the risk of electrical shock. Also, when using the 2-
channel model, always keep the probe-to-probe potential below 1 V.
•When handling a needle-type probe, be careful not to point the tip in the direction of any person as doing so
may result in an injury.
•After measuring anything with a high temperature, do not touch the metal part of the measuring probe as this
may result in a burn.
CAUTION
•When the instrument is stored for a long period of time, be sure to remove the batteries. Not doing so may
result in a failure or malfunctioning of the instrument due to a leakage in battery liquid.
•Do not use deteriorated or damaged probes, as doing so will effect the precision of measurements.
•Before you detach the probe from the instrument, always remove the probe from the object being measured.
•When using a needle-type probe, do not insert the metal part of the measuring probe more than half its the
length into the object to be measured, as doing so may result in a burn or damage to the probe due to the
handle of the probe heating up.
•Keep the handle of the probe and the cable that connects the probe to the instrument within a temperature
range of -20°C to 50°C, as they are less resistant to heat than the metal part of the measuring probe.
■Regarding Disassembling and Modification
Do not disassemble or modify the instrument in any way. The instrument should only be disassembled by a
service engineer of Yokogawa.

3. Measurement
This instrument can connect any of the 4 types of thermocouples: Type K, J, E, or T (it is set to Type K at shipment
from the factory). Use an omega-type connector corresponding to the TC type for the probe.
(1) Load the batteries (see section 5, Battery Replacement).
(2) Press the key to turn on the power.
When the power has been turned on, all indications on the display light up for about 2 seconds, then a measured
value appears.
(3) Check the thermocouple type.
If you wish to change the current setting, turn off the power and follow the instructions in the section Select
thermocouple type on the previous page.
(4) Select the input channel. (TX10-03 only)
Press the
;
;
;;
;;
key and select one channel from channel A, B, and A-B (see Select channel on the previous
page).
(5) Connect the probe to the input connector.
If you are using the 2-channel model (TX10-03), connect the probe(s) to the channel(s) you are using.
(6) When you have finished measurement, turn off the power by pressing the key.
•The power may be turned off by the auto power-off function during measurement. In this case, press the
key to restart the instrument and continue measurement.
•If the power is turned off and then on again, the instrument restarts with the same settings of the resolution
(0.1°C or 1°C), input channel (channel A, B or A-B) and thermocouple type (K, J, E or T) as before it was
turned off.
(7) Other operations
For other operations such as display hold, relative display, and maximum and minimum record/readout, see the
key operation list on the previous page.
NOTE
Key operation of this instrument is comparatively easy. However, it is necessary to make sure that the instru-
ment is not mistakenly set to a state other than that intended. Note that, under normal measurement, “HOLD,”
“RCD,” “REL,” “MAX,” “MIN,” and “MEM” are not displayed.
4. Precautionary Notes
NOTE
•Each probe has its own maximum and minimum operating temperatures, so ensure that its temperature does
not fall outside the specified range.
•As the probe is susceptible to corrosion, do not use the instrument for the measurement of gas or liquid, and
refrain from measuring semi-solid particles and semi-viscous substances. After measurement, wipe the
probe with a dry cloth.
•Do not apply a strong force to the upper and lower parts of the probe as doing so may result in the bending
of the probe connector.
• When using the instrument be careful not to bend, drop, or strike the measurement probe.
•When measuring surface temperature using a surface-type probe, position the probe perpendicular to the
surface of the object. Also note that the application of oil to the probe for the means of providing better
contact can improve measurement accuracy.
•When measuring non-metallic surface temperature, make sure the measurement time is long enough to
compensate for poor thermal conductivity.
• To ensure stable measurement, the instrument should not be subjected to a sudden temperature change.
•This instrument, with the exception of the connector section, is water-resistant but not waterproof. There-
fore the instrument should not be immersed in water. If it is mistakenly immersed in water, remove it
immediately and check to ensure that no water has penetrated inside the case. Although this instrument is
designed so that any water penetrating into the connector does not permeate into the circuit inside the case,
try to prevent any water entering the connector. If water does enter the connector, the burnout display may
be unavailable.
5. Battery Replacement
When the batteries approach the end of their lives, the mark appears on the display. If this mark is displayed,
replace the batteries.
To replace the batteries:
(1) Remove the battery box cover from the back of the instrument. Then replace the two AA alkaline dry batteries
(LR6).
(2) Refit the cover to the battery box.
NOTE
• When inserting batteries, be careful not to mistake the polarity as this can damage the instrument.
•When the instrument is to be stored for a long period of time, remove the batteries.
•Do not leave dead batteries in the instrument as doing so may result in a failure or malfunction of the
instrument due to a leakage in battery liquid.
•Both batteries should be replaced with new ones at the same time as replacing only one of the batteries may
result in the charge leaking from the new battery to the old.
6. Cleaning
• If the instrument becomes dirty, wipe the instrument with a cloth that has been dampened with water and well wrung.
•If the instrument is very dirty, use a cloth that has been dampened with a diluted neutral detergent. Do not use
other detergents, solvents, or chemicals. Doing so may cause a failure of the instrument.
• Avoid any water or other liquids from splashing onto the connector, as this may cause a failure of the instrument.
