OPERATION
Insert the probe plug into the receptacle located on the front
of the thermometer. The plug and receptacle are keyed with
a small and a large pin. Make certain that the plug is inserted
properly.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on.
Press the °C/°F button to display the temperature in
Fahrenheit (°F will appear on the display) or Celsius (°C will
appear on the display).
Set the thermometer to desired resolution 0.1° or 1°.
Place the probe tip in contact with the material to be
measured and read the temperature on the display.
MAX MODE
In the MAX mode, the thermometer will display the highest
temperature reading achieved. It does not display the current
temperature if it falls below the MAX reading.
Example: In the MAX mode
CURRENT TEMPERATURE DISPLAY READS
42° 42°
60° 60°
40° 60°
Press the MAX button (MAX will appear on the display). The
thermometer will display the maximum temperature reading
on the LCD display. Press the MAX button again to exit MAX
recording mode.
HOLD
Press the HOLD button to “freeze” the display at the current
reading (HOLD will appear in the display). Press the HOLD
button again to return to the current reading.
PROBES
The probe supplied are ultra-fast response Type-K
thermocouple naked bead probes with 4’ leads and tefl on
insulation. Maximum operating temperature range for this
thermocouple is 500°F (260°C).
An accessory stainless steel triple purpose probe with handle
is available. An accessory surface probe is also available
(see accessories).
Longer leads and extension may be used. The lead effect for
164 feet (50 meters) is generally less the 0.2°C with a limit
of error of 2.2°C. Type-K wire and Type-K connectors must
be used.
RECORDER OUTPUT
A voltage proportional to the display reading appears at the
recorder OUTPUT socket located on the right side of the
unit. Output is via a standard 3-pole 3.5 mm jack.
Output specifi cations are as follows:
1mV output per degree in the 0.1° display mode
0.1 mV output per degree in the 1° display mode
Output examples:
Mode Readings Output
0.1° 26.5° 26.5 mV
1° 1500° 150.0 mV
OFFSET ADJUSTMENT (Fine tuning)
The offset controls are set at the factory to allow for the
variations found in standard thermocouples. By adjusting
the offset controls, found on the side of the unit, you
can optimize measurement accuracy for a particular
thermocouple at a particular temperature.
This unit has been calibrated Traceable® to standards
provided by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST). While offset adjustments are
possible, they will interfere with the factory calibration.
Traceable® recalibration must be made by the factory (see
Recalibration).
BENCH STAND/WALL MOUNT
This unit is supplied with a bench stand that is on the back of
the case. Locate the rectangular slots on the raised portion
of the back of the unit. With your thumb and forefi nger, lift the
stand out. To close the stand, simply snap it shut.
This unit may be wall mounted by using a screw. Set the
screw into the wall at the location desired, the head of the
screw will need to slip into the receptacle on the back of
the unit, so do not set the screw fl ush to the wall. Once the
screw has been properly set, hang the unit in place by sliding
the receptacle on the back of the unit over the head of the
screw.

DISPLAY MESSAGES
OL indicates that no probe is present
indicates that the battery is low and needs replacement
(see batter replacement).
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this thermometer does not function properly for any reason,
please replace the battery with a new high quality battery
(see “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery power can
occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational
diffi culties. Replacing the battery with a new fresh battery will
solve most diffi culties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
A “
” symbol will appear on the LCD display when the
battery needs replacement. Before replacing the battery turn
the unit off and unplug the probe. Remove the three screws
from the back of the thermometer and lift off the back of
the case. (NOTE: When the top middle screw is removed,
the 2-piece stand with come off the case). Remove the
exhausted battery and replace it with a new 9-colt alkaline
battery. Replace the back of the thermometer, replace the
2-piece stand, reinstall the three screws and tighten securely.
