Section 1 Introduction

Your MDSi8 Series Benchtop Meter is ideal for laboratory use and applications
requiring portable temperature measurement. There are two basic models, a
single-channel and a ten-channel unit. The single-channel model features a
universal input that can be reconfigured by you for use with a thermocouple,
RTD or Voltage/Current signal. The ten-channel model is a dedicated input type
of either 10 thermocouples, RTDs, or Voltage/Current signals. These meters are
factory configured and calibrated. It is important that you read this manual and
additional manuals outlined in Section 6 completely and follow all safety
precautions in both manuals before operating your unit.

1.1 Precautions
