GENERAL INFORMATION

This manual provides information on the use of three digital handheld ther­mometers. Functional features both common and unique to each model are
described.

All three models are microprocessor based, and provide accurate and
reliable operation. They function with the most popular thermocouples; types
K, J, and T. A variety of features in these projects enhance their versatility,
while simplifying operation.

It is recommended that you read this manual thoroughly, especially the
sections on safety, prior to operating these instruments.

MANUAL ADDENDA

Improvements or changes to this manual will be explained on an addendum
included with the instrument. All change information should be incorporated
immediately into the appropriate places in the manual.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Each instrument is inspected both mechanically and electrically before ship­ment. Upon receiving your instrument unpack all items from the shipping
container and check for any obvious damage that may have occurred during
transit. Report any damage to the shipping agent. Retain and use the origi­nal packing materials if reshipment is necessary.

the instrument.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

These instruments are intended for use by qualified per­sonnel trained in the safe operation of electronic testing
equipment. Read the instruction manual thoroughly before
using, to become familiar with the instrument’s operations
and capabilities.

WARNING

Do not touch a temperature probe sheath when measuring
excessively high or low temperatures, or toxic substances.

WARNING

Do not attempt to measure temperatures beyond the range
of the probe being used. Probe damage or personal injury
could result from exceeding a probe’s maximum tempera­ture rating.

WARNING

The American National Safety Institute (ANSI) states that a
shock hazard exists when probes or sensors are exposed
to voltage levels greater than 42VDC or 42V peak AC. Do
not use this instrument where voltages at the measure­ment surface exceed these levels.

6

WARNING

Do not substitute a metal part for the nylon screw in the
rear case. Doing so will degrade electrical isolation of the
case.

WARNING

The battery is accessible through a cover on the back of
the instrument. To avoid electrical shock hazard, discon­nect all temperature probes and sensors and turn the unit
off before removing the cover.

WARNING

Never use this instrument or any probe or sensor inside a
microwave oven.

CAUTION

Avoid making sharp bends in probe or sensor lead wires.
Bending lead wires at a sharp angle can damage the wire
causing probe failure.

CAUTION

When using both thermometer inputs, and a voltage differ­ential exists between the two measurement points, at least
one probe should be electrically insulated. If not, ground­loop current can flow through the thermocouple leads
causing measurement error or instrument damage.

BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT

A 9V battery is supplied with the instrument but not installed. Read the fol­lowing installation instructions before attempting to install or remove the bat­tery.

WARNING

Turn the unit off and disconnect any input connections
before replacing the battery. Put the cover back into place
on the battery compartment before resuming use of the
instrument.

1. Remove the cover from the battery compartment by sliding it off in

2. Remove the old battery.

3. Place the new battery in the battery compartment. Be sure to

4. Re-install the battery cover before resuming use of the instrument.

NOTES:

• Less than 10% of battery life remains when the BAT annun­ciator turns on.

• If the instrument is going to be stored for a long period of time
or in a high temperature environment, remove the battery to
prevent leakage damage.

• After a new battery is installed, allow approximately 30 sec­onds for reading stabilization the first time the instrument is
turned on.
