OPERATION

• Remove the pro­tective cap and
screw the probe
to the meter.

• Turn the Key® on.

• Use the Key® in
the appropriate
application. An im­mersion level of 4
cm (1½") is rec­ommended for liq­uids. Under no cir­cumstances im­merse above the
connector. Make
sure that the body
of the meter is not
exposed to high
temperatures
(above 50°C).

• Wait for the reading to stabilize and,
if necessary, change the probe to
match your application (see acces­sories for a complete listing).

• When not in use, switch the Key
off.

• Do not disconnect the probe unless
necessary.

BEPS & BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Key® is provided with BEPS (Battery

Error Preventing System) that prevents
any erroneous reading due to low bat­tery level by switching the meter off.

To replace the batteries, slide off the
battery compartment cover and replace
all four 1.5V batteries, while paying
attention to their polarity.
