1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introducing the economy series

Thank you for purchasing the Temp 4/5/6 meter. These microprocessor-based handheld meters are economical and easy to use. They are available in three models:

• The Temp 4 uses *YSI 400 series thermistor temperature sensor

• The Temp 5 uses 100K thermistor temperature sensor

• The Temp 6 uses PT100 ohm (Platinum) RTD temperature sensor

All Temp 4/5/6 meter series feature:

• Large LCD for clear and easy reading

• Readings in

C and oF (selectable)

• Minimum and maximum temperature display

• Minimum and maximum hold mode

• Low battery indicator

• Hold function, freezes measured reading

• User calibration - offset adjustment

• Non volatile memory backup; calibration and other information remain if

battery is disconnected

• Temp 5 meter allows user selection of most suitable temperature curve for its thermistor sensor

This instruction manual is organised for quick reference with step-by-step procedures that give you thorough review of the various features and meter operations.

Included with your meter are a temperature sensor (Temp 5 only), rubber boot, 4 alkaline “AAA” batteries, an instruction manual and a warranty card. To order other accessories, please refer to Section on Accessories for more information.
