Basic Maintenance

Basic maintenance requir ed by the therm om ete r is discu ssed in this sect ion.

Cleaning the Thermometer

Caution
To avoid damaging the thermometer, do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or
chlorinated solvents for cleaning. These solutions react with the plastics used in the thermometer.
Do not allow the LCD to get wet.
Do not remove any of the lubricant from the input terminals.

Calibration Information
Clean the thermometer case with a mild detergent and water. The pca may be washed with isopropyl alcohol or deionozed water and a soft brush. Dry the pca with clean
dry air at low pressure, then bake it at 50

Disassembly/Reassembly

Thermometer disassembly is necessary to replace the battery and some interior parts (see “Replaceable Parts”, later in this document). Refer to Figure 1 when disassembling and reassembling the thermometer.
To disassemble the thermometer:
1. Turn the thermometer OFF if necessary.
2. Loosen the four bottom case screws and remove the top case. To reasemble the thermometer:
1. Replace the top case.
2. Tighten the four bottom case screws.

Changing the Battery

Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator (N) appears. The
possibility of false readings increases when the battery is not fully charged. False readings can lead to personal injury.
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the thermocouple(s) before opening
the case.
Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
To prevent explosion, do not dispose of the battery in fire.
Follow local laws or regulations when disposing of batteries.
To replace the battery, refer to Figure 2 and the assembly procedures located previously in this document.
