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
nonhazardous.

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.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The total battery life without backlighting
and alarm is about 400 hours. The
battery bar annunciator represents the
battery strength. An empty battery
annunciator indicates low battery
strength; a blinking battery annunciator
indicates that the batteries should be
replaced immediately.

Selected settings are stored in memory
and will remain in memory even after
power is turned off, or while batteries
are being replaced.

1. Before changing battery, turn
instrument off and disconnect
thermocouple.

2. Loosen screw and lift battery cover
off back of case.

3. Remove the three AA batteries.

4. Insert three new batteries
observing polarity.

5.

Install cover and tighten screw.

RUBBER ARMOR

1. To insert thermometer into the
optional rubber armor, slide in from
the top of meter before pushing the
bottom edges of meter down to set
it into position. Lift up the stand at
the back of meter for bench top
applications if necessary.

2. To remove thermometer from armor,
push out from the bottom edges of
meter until it is completely out of boot.

OPTIONAL HANDS-FREE KIT

You can use the optional magnets and
strap in the Hands-Free Kit accessories
for convenient hands-free operations.

CONNECTING A THERMOCOUPLE

Use the correct thermocouple type for
your instrument setting. Using an
incorrect thermocouple type will result in
erroneous readings. Thermocouples are
colour coded by type using the North
American ANSI Color Code as follows:

TYPE COLOR

J Black
K Yello

w
T Blue
E Purple

Thermocouple connectors have one
wide blade and one narrow blade. Do
not force connector in backwards.
Connect thermocouples to receptacles
at top of instrument as shown in the
following illustration:
