~ 50°C, for each °C ambient below 18°C or above
28°C add the following tolerance into the accuracy
spec.
0.01% of reading + 0.03°C
(0.01% of reading + 0.06°F )
Note:
The basic accuracy specification does not include the
error of the probe. Please refer to the probe accuracy
specification for additional details.

IV. Operating Instructions:
4.1 Power-Up
Press the ○
4.2 Connecting the Thermocouples
Plug the thermocouples into the input connectors.
4.3 Selecting the Temperature Unit
When the meter is powered on, the default unit is
Celsius (°C). Press the “
Fahrenheit (°F). Press it again to revert to Celsius.
4.4 Data-Hold Operation
The present reading may be held and kept on the
display by pressing the “
data is no longer needed, release the data-hold
operation by pressing the “
When the meter is in the Data Hold operating mode,
the “△ REL”, MAX/MIN, and “°C/°F” buttons are
disabled.
4.5 Relative Operation:
Pressing the “△ REL” button causes the meter to
memorize the present reading. The difference
between the new reading and the memorized data
will be shown on the display. Press the “△ REL”
button again to exit the Relative operation.
4.6 MAX/MIN Operation:
Pressing the MAX/MIN button causes the meter to
enter the MAX/MIN mode. Under this mode, the
maximum and minimum values are stored in memory
simultaneously and updated with every new data
reading.
When the MAX symbol is displayed, the Maximum is
shown on the display.
Pressing MAX/MIN again will display both the MIN
symbol and the minimum reading.
Pressing MAX/MIN again causes the MAX and MIN
indicators to blink together. This means that all data is
updated in the memory and the reading is the present

temperature.
Repeatedly pressing MAX/MIN circulates the display
mode among these options.
When the meter is under MAX/MIN operation, “△REL” and
To exit the MAX/MIN mode, press and hold MAX/MIN
for two seconds.
4.7 Auto Power Off:
By default, when the meter is powered on, it is under
auto power off mode. The meter will power itself off
after 30 minutes if no key operation is performed. To
disable the auto power off function, press and hold
the “
auto power off symbol will disappear to indicate that
auto power off is disabled.
4.8 Low Battery Condition
When the battery voltage is below that for proper
operation, the symbol will show on the LCD.
Replace the battery.
4.9 Calibration Point:
Room Temperature 23
Normally, performing offset Calibration with thermally
stable ice water through VR3 will give a very good
calibration result.
