INTRODUCTION

This instrument is a 3½ digit, compact-sized portable digital thermometer
designed to use external K-type thermocouples as temperature sensor.
Temperature indication follows Reference Temperature/Voltage Tables
(N.I.S.T. Monograph 175 Revised to ITS-90) for K-type thermocouples. Two
K-type thermocouple are supplied with the thermometer.

SAFETY INFORMATION

It is recommended that you read the safety and operation instructions before
using the thermometer.

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when working

voltages at the measurement surface over 24V AC or DC.

WARNING

To avoid damage or burns, do not make temperature

measurement in microwave ovens.

CAUTION

Repeated sharp flexing can break the thermocouple leads. To prolong

lead life, avoid sharp bends in the leads, especially near the connector.
The symbol on the instrument indicates that the operator must refer to an

explanation in this manual.

Power Switch

The key turns the thermometer on or off. In the MIN MAX record mode
can not power off, must leave MIN MAX record mode then power off.

°C °F Selecting the Temperature Scale

Readings is displayed in either degrees Celsius(°C) or degrees
Fahrenheit(°F). When the thermometer is turned on, it is set to the
temperature scale that was in use when the thermometer was last turned
off. To change the temperature scale, press the °C or °F key.

" " Button

3

Press " " button to toggle on and off of backlight. The backlight will switch­off automatically after 30 seconds.

4

HOLD Mode

Pressing the HOLD key to enter the Data Hold mode, the "HOLD" annun­ciator is displayed. When HOLD mode is selected, the thermometer held
the present readings and stops all further measurements.
Pressing the HOLD key again to cancel HOLD mode causing thermometer
to resume taking measurements.
In the MIN/MAX recording mode, press HOLD key to stop the recording.
Press HOLD key again to resume recording. (Previously recorded reading
are not erased).

MIN MAX record Mode

Press MIN MAX key to enter the MIN MAX Recording mode, (displays the
Maximum reading, Minimum reading, "MAX-MIN" reading and Average
reading stored in record mode). In the this mode the automatic power-off
feature is disabled and key, °C °F key, REL key, SET key, Hi/Lo Limits
key, T1 T2 T1-T2 key are disabled.The beeper emits a tone when a new
minimum or maximum value is recorded.
Push MIN MAX key to cycle through the MAX, MIN, MAX-MIN and AVG
readings.
If an overload is recorded, the averaging function is stopped and average
value display"-OL".
In the this mode, press HOLD key to stop the recording of readings, all
values are frozen, press again to restart recording.
To prevent accidental loss of MIN, MAX, "MAX-MIN" and AVG data, in this
mode can only be cancelled by pressing and hold down the MIN MAX key
for 2 seconds to exit and erased recorded readings.

T1 T2/T1-T2

The input selection indicates which input is selected for display; T1
thermocouple, T2 thermocouple or the difference between the two thermo­couples (T1-T2), when the thermometer is turned on, When the thermom­eter is turned on, it is set to the input selected that was in use when the
thermometer was last turned off.

REL Relative mode (only Main display)

10

Pressing REL key to enter the Relative mode, zero the display, and store
the displayed Reading as a reference value and annunciator REL is
displayed. Press REL key again to exit the relative mode.
The relative value can also be entered by the user. (See "SET mode" later
in this manual.)
When the desired Relative value has been entered, press REL key to enter
the Relative mode, press SET key use set Relative value as a reference
value. Press REL key again to exit the relative mode.
In the Relative mode, the value (can not >±2000.0 counts) shown on the
LCD is always the difference between the stored reference and the present
reading.

set mode), _ = = =.= is displayed (the ".=" is displayed when you set up the
fourth number), Hi Limit value is entered via overlay numbers, when you
want to get negative values push (- 0) key for end of numbers, then press
overlay ENTER key, stored the Hi Limit value, enter Lo Limit value set mode

6

(Press ENTER key can escape Lo Limit value set mode), _ = = =.= is
displayed (the ".=" is displayed when you set up the fourth number), Lo Limit
value is entered via overlay numbers, when you want to get negative values
push (- 0) key for end of numbers, then press overlay ENTER key, stored

3. In the Hi/Lo Limits mode, the value can not >±2000.0 counts.all value will
be memorized until yor reset it.

12

Hi/Lo LIMITS mode

Press Hi/Lo LIMITS key to enter the Hi/Lo Limits comparative mode,
"LIMIT" is displayed. In the this mode the automatic power-off feature is
disabled and other funtion key are disabled, when input temperature value
exceed Hi. The beeper emits a continuity pulse tone and "Hi" is displayed,
and when input temperature value exceed Lo value.The beeper emits a
discontinuous pulse tone and "Lo" is displayed. Press Hi/Lo LIMITS key
