K TYPE THERMOMETER
Model: 8801 8803
INTRODUCTION
The 8801 and 8803 are 3 1/2 digit, hand
-held thermometer designed to use K­type thermocouple as temperature sensor.
SAFETY
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the thermocouple connectors from the thermometer before removing the battery cover and do not use this meter on voltage at the measurement surface beyond 24V AC or 60V DC.
To avoid damage or burns, do not apply this meter in microwave ovens.
To ensure lead quality, avoid repeating sharp bends in the leads as it can damage the thermocouple leads, especially near the connector.

Press T1.T2/T1-T2 button to display the temperature for T1 input. (Fig.8) Press T1.T2/T1-T2 button again to display the temperature for T2 input. (Fig.7) Press T1.T2/T1-T2 button one more time to display the differential temperature between the two thermocouples.(Fig.9)
The display will show T1,T2 or T1-T2 in turns by pressing the same button.
Note:
Model 8801 can only display one temperature. Only make sure the thermocouple is plugged at the left side on the top . No reading but 4 dashes (---
