Important Notice ---- Warning
Check the position of the “Measurement/Calibration
Switch” on the rear panel before turning on the device. Please refer to Figure 2. The switch must be at the measurement (left) position. Loss of calibration data will occur if the switch is at the calibration (CAL) position when the instrument is used in measurement application.
The instrument is calibrated before shipment. Only
qualified calibration agencies should use the switch when the instrument is under calibration. Please refer to 5.

1 Introduction
The AM8060 precision thermometer is a dual-channel temperature readout. It can be used as either a temperature measurement device or a temperature reference standard. It is capable of working together with various types of platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs) and can measure temperatures from two probes simultaneously. The measured temperature is calculated by the embedded microcontroller by following ITS-90 standard. The device can also be equipped with a wireless data acquisition function, a USB data acquisition and a flash drive interface. With these flexible peripherals, temperature data can be easily captured and saved in real time.
1.1 Main Application
Temperature measurement with standard platinum
resistance thermometers (SPRTs), secondary platinum resistance thermometers (Secondary PRTs) and precision industrial platinum resistance thermometers (IPRTs).
Either temperature reference standard or temperature
measurement.
Temperature reference for dry-wells or temperature baths. Wireless/wire/flash real time temperature measure ment/data
capturing.
1.2 Main Features

4 General Operations
The AM8060 precision thermometer is a dual-channel temperature readout. It can measure temperature of two probes concurrently. It can also be used with just one probe for single channel temperature measurement.
4.1 Connecting the probes
The AM8060 can work with one or two probes for temperature measurement. Figure 3 shows the rear panel of the AM8060. Probe 1 can be connected to terminals marked with S1, and Probe 2 to S2.
Figure 3: Rear Panel and Probe Terminals.
4.2 Instrument connection with AC power
AM8060 operation requires power of AC100V~220V.
4.3 Instrument front panel display and touchpad.
After the power is turned on and the probes are connected, the device should show initialization information, including the instrument interface status, measured temperatures of the
Set to CAL when doing Calibration.
Probes

probe/probes and temperature difference. This information is shown in 4 lines, as seen below:
Line 1 is the instrument interface status, including USB flash drive, wireless communication status and USB to computer
interface status. If the “Udr”is shown in Line 1, a USB flash drive is connected to the USB host interface; if “ZB-xx (where “xx” are numbers) displays on Line 1 as shown above, it means the Zigbee wireless data capturing is working; if the display shows“USB”on Line 1, then AM8060 is connected via its USB client interface.
Line 2, which is indicated with ‘t1’, shows the measured temperature of Probe 1 (S1). The“SPRT” at the end of the Line 2 tells the type of probe of Probe 1 (S1). The AM8060
supports two types of probes. “SPRT” indicates a 25Ω or 100 Ω standard platinum resistance thermometers. “IPRT” indicates a 100Ω industrial platinum resistance thermometer. The “C” shown at the end of Line 2 indicates that the temperature is in Celsius.
Line 3, which is indicated with ‘t2’, shows the measured temperature of Probe 2 (S2).

A “>” will toggle in front of “t1” or ”t2” to indicate which probe is being measured. Each toggling instance is one measurement.
Line 4, which is indicated with “t1-t2”, shows the temperature difference of the two probes.
4.4 Selecting Units
Users can select to display ºC, ºF or Ω by scrolling touch keys up
or down ( or )
4.5 Selecting Sensors/Probes and Adjusting Parameters
4.5.1 Probe Types
AM8060 can work with different types of PRTs. Users can choose probe types and input the parameters of the probes.
The menu key
MENU
and return/right shift key can be used
for probe selection and parameter adjustment.
The probes compatible with AM8060 are:
25 Ω or 100 Ω SPRTs, or 25 Ω or 100 Ω Secondary PRTs, or 100 Ω IPRTs.
The temperature coefficient of these probes can either be
0.00385 Ω/Ω/°C or 0.003925 Ω/Ω/°C.
The probe types working with AM8060 are classified and displayed as IPRT and SPRT：
AM8060 Precision Thermometer User’s Guide

If the probe is an industrial or precision platinum
resistance thermometer probe with a temperature coefficient of 0.00385 Ω/Ω/°C, AM8060 will categorize the probe as “IPRT”. AM8060 calculates temperature according to CVD (IEC751) equation.
If the probe is a precision platinum resistance
thermometer probe or secondary PRT with temperature coefficient of 0.003925 Ω/Ω/°C (WGa>=1.11807), AM8060 will categorize the probe as “SPRT”. AM8060 calculates temperature according to ITS-90 standard platinum resistance thermometer equations.
If the probe is a standard platinum resistance thermometer,
the probe will be displayed as “SPRT”. AM8060 calculates temperature according to ITS-90 standard platinum resistance thermometer equations.
4.5.2 Selecting Sensors/Probe and Parameters Input
4.5.2.1 To select the type of sensor, press
MENU
key and then
hold key. After 3 seconds, AM8060 will display the parameter adjustment main menu:
There are four options for parameter adjustments:
AM8060 Precision Thermometer User’s Guide

“>” symbol to “Sensor 1 Setting”. Press key to enter the Sensor 1 setting adjustment program as shown below. The probe type can either be “IPRT” or “SPRT”. Users can select either one by moving the “>” to the
sensor type, and then press key. Users can exit this
selection by pressing
MENU
key. The figure below shows
that SPRT is selected.
