2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

1. This instrument is designed to
accept low level signals supplied by
standard Thermocouples. Under NO
circumstances should the input
voltage exceed the specified 50V
RMS.

2. To prevent ignition of a hazardous
atmosphere, batteries must only be
changed in an area known to be
non-hazardous.

CAUTION:

1. Do not use or store this instrument in
microwave ovens or any abnormally
hot or cold areas.

2. Weak batteries should not be left in
the instrument. Dead batteries can
leak and cause damage to unit.

DANGER:

1. Voltages present at the

Thermocouple may also be present
at the battery terminals. Always
disconnect the Thermocouple when
changing batteries.

CALIBRATION SCREEN

The thermometer is factory calibrated and
does not require calibration before use.
The Calibration function allows single
point calibration of the thermometer, at
0°C (32°F) to compensate for
thermocouple off-set error. It is NOT
necessary to perform a field calibration to
obtain specified meter accuracy. Use the
field calibration feature to improve
thermometer/probe accuracy or to
compensate for thermocouple drift.

..

Before go into the calibration mode, must
enter the password. Press F2 to change to
the next digit. (Default Password is 9900)

There are three calibration options:

Offset – adjusts at a single point
Slope – adjusts at two points
Match – adjusts readings on T1 to match
those on T2. Or adjusts T2 to match T1.
