INTRODUCTION
This instrument is a 4½ digit, compact-sized portable digital thermometer
designed to use external 100W Platinum RTD as temperature sensor. Temperature indication follows Reference Temperature/Resistance Tables (Pt385
for European Curve, Alpha=.00385 and Pt3926 for American Curve, Alpha=.003926).
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.
The symbol on the instrument indicates that the operator must refer to an
explanation in this manual.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1
Power Switch
The key turns the thermometer on or off. In the data SET mode, can not
power off, must leave data SET mode then power off.
2
°C/°F Selecting the Temperature Scale (Main display)
Reading the main 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/°F key.
3
HOLD Mode (only Main display)
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).
4
Relative value Recall display mode.
Press REL RECALL key to display the Relative set value on second display.
Press REL RECALL key again to exit this mode.

Pt385/Pt3926 T1 Input RTD Probe Select
The Pt385/Pt3926 key switch the T1 input selects the Pt385 or Pt3926 RTD
probe as input.
When the thermometer is turned on, it is set to the probe selected that was
in use when the thermometer was last turned off.
MIN MAX with Time record Mode
6
Press MIN MAX key to enter the MIN MAX Recording mode, (displays the
Maximum reading with time, Minimum reading with time 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, Pt385/Pt3926 and all RECALL keys are disabled.
The beeper emits a tone when a new minimum or maximum value is
recorded.
Present temperature reading displayed on second display.
Push MIN MAX key to cycle through the MAX, MIN and AVG readings.
If an overload is recorded, the averaging function is stopped and average
value display"----.-".
The true average of all the reading taken over at least 22 hours preiod can
be displayed. If 22 hours is exceeded, new averages are no longer
calculated. The last calcalated value is retained as the average reading, but
the actual minimum and maximum reading will continue to be captured.
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 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.

REL Relative mode
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. Present temperature reading displayed on second display.
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 >±3000.0 counts) shown on the
LCD is always the difference between the stored reference and the present
reading.

°C/°F Selecting the Temperature Scale (Second display)
Readings the second 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/°F key.
