Wide Range Performance Test Procedure
This test verifies the instrument specifications. If the instrument fails this test, perform
the calibration procedure. If the unit continues to fail, it should be taken to a Fluke
service center.
Ice Bath Construction
To begin the performance test, first construct an ice bath as follows:
1. Prepare a Dewar Flask by drilling two holes in its cap to accept the Mercury
thermometer and thermocouple wires, or use a standard laboratory cork.
2. Fill the Dewar Flask with shaved or crushed ice made from distilled water.
3. Fill the Dewar Flask with enough distilled water so that the ice turns to slush, but do
not add enough water to float the ice.
Note
As the ice melts, siphon off the excess water and add more ice. Allow
approximately 5 to 10 minutes for the water to drop back to the freezing
point.

6. If this test fails, reposition the thermocouple wires and Mercury thermometer to the
same depth in the ice bath, and repeat steps 3-5. If the test continues to fail, perform
the calibration procedure, located after this procedure.
7. Remove the short applied in step 4.
8. Using Table 3, steps 2-5, obtain an output from the Calibrator equal to the values in
the “Input Voltage (mV DC)” column, and verify the thermometer reads within the
limits specified. If any step fails, perform the calibration procedure located later in
this section.
9. Disconnect the thermocouple from the input terminals. This completes the ice bath
test.

the LCD may all lift out attached to the Main PCA.
5. If the Isothermal PCA separates from the Main PCA, the Isothermal PCA, IR Lens,
backlight, elastomeric conne ctors, and the LCD will still be in the top case. Lift them
out of the top case after the Main PCA is removed.

Reassembly
The reassembly procedure is basically the reverse of the disassembly procedure.
However, there are several points in this process that should be explained further.
Reinstalling the LCD Assembly
Follow these steps to reinstall the LCD assembly:
1. Install the LCD decal.
2. When putting the LCD back into the top case, make sure the LCD is correctly
top of the switch pad, and then lift out the entire switch pad.
Note
For reassembly, the thermometer top case should be face down, with the
keypad end of the top case facing the user.
aligned. The edge of the LCD with the bubble in it should be facing the left side of
the open, face down top case, and the LCD should be placed into the top case face
down.
3. When reinstalling the backlight, the backlight pins should be on the left side of the
open top case and they should be facing up. Check that the pins are straight. To make
sure that the backlight is centered, line up the bottom left corner of the backlight with
the guide that is molded into the top case. The left corner of the backlight should fit
directly over this guide and the bottom right side of the backlight should also be lined
up with (but not over) a similar guide on the right side of the open top case.
4. Install the two LCD elastomeric connectors.
Rebuilding the Main PCA
When reinstalling the Main PCA, make sure that the Isothermal PCA and the IR Lens are
attached to each other first. To do this, follow these directions:
1. Turn the Main PCA over so that the components are face down.
2. Attach the Isothermal PCA to the Main PCA by inserting the pins into the matching
holes on the Main PCA.
When putting the Isothermal PCA back onto the Main PCA, do not push the
Isothermal PCA all the way down into the contact holes of the Main PCA. If
the Isothermal PCA is kept slightly loose, it makes installation of the IR
Lens easier.
3. Reinstall the IR Lens by taking the Main PCA (with the Isothermal PCA loosely
attached), and with the component side facing down; slide the IR Lens in between the
main board and the Isothermal PCA.

4. Line up the tab on the Isothermal PCA and the notch in the IR Lens and push the two
together. The contacts of the IR Lens should slide under the Isothermal PCA and they
should be making contact with pads on the underside of the Isothermal PCA.
5. Push the Isothermal PCA and the Main PCA together so that the Isothermal PCA
pins go deeper into the Main PCA sockets. This holds the IR Lens in place and
allows the Main PCA to be reinstalled into the top case.
Reinstalling the Main PCA
1. While holding the IR Lens to the Main PCA, turn the Main PCA over so that the
components are facing up.
2. Align the screw holes in the Main PCA with those in the top case.
3. Align the backlight pins with the Main PCA sockets.
4. Align the Main PCA holes with the backlight posts.
5. Gently push the Main PCA down into the top case, making sure that the IR Lens goes
into the groove on the LCD-end of the top case. If it does not fit together easily,
check to make sure that everything is properly lined up and try again.
6. Reinsert and tighten the two pca screws.
To complete the thermometer reassembly, screw the bottom case to the top case, reinstall
the batteries and screw the battery compartment shut.
