TMP60

Dual Input Type J/K Thermometer

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Triplett TMP60 Digital
Thermometer with J/K - type dual input. This meter is shipped fully
tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable
service.

Features

1. Large backlit display shows any combination of T1, T2, T1­T2, plus MAX, MIN, AVG.

2. Relative time clock on MAX MIN and AVG provides a time
reference for major events.

3. Electronic Offset function allows compensation of thermocouple
errors to maximize overall accuracy.

4. Readout in °C, °F, or Kelvin (K).

5. Auto Power Off mode (Sleep mode) increases battery life.

Safety

1. To prevent personal injury or meter damage, use the meter only
as specified in this guide

2. If the low battery indicator appears, replace the batteries
immediately. Inaccurate temperature reading could result from
low battery voltage.

3. Do not operate the meter in an explosive atmosphere

To avoid electrical shock or personal injury, do not apply more
than 20Vrms between the thermocouple inputs or between the
thermocouple and earth ground

Do not leave batteries and packing material lying around
unattended; they can be dangerous for children if they use them
as toys

Operation

Connecting thermocouples

1. This meter accepts one or two K or J-type thermocouples with
spade lugs (sub-miniature type with one spade wider than the
other).

2. Plug the thermocouple(s) into the meter's thermocouple input
jack(s).

Measuring

1. Press the button to turn on the thermometer on. After 1
second the thermometer will display the T1 reading in the upper
display and the T2 reading in the lower display. The display will
indicate dashes (----) if no thermocouple is connected to the

MAX/MIN/AVG mode

input.

2. Press the C-F-K button to select the desired temperature
unit of measure. A display icon will reflect the selection.

3. Contact the object to be measured with the probe. Read the
measured temperature in the display.

Note: If the display indicates “OL” the temperature is outside the

measurement range. The display shows "- - - -" when a
thermocouple is not connected.

Press the MAX/MIN button to begin recording the Maximum,
Minimum and Average measure value. “REC” and “MAX” will
appear on the display and the elapsed time display will appear.

1. Press MAX/MIN to enter this mode.

2. Press MAX/MIN to step through maximum, minimum and average
readings.

3. Press and hold MAX/MIN for 3 seconds to return to normal mode.

Setup Mode Options

Use the Setup mode to select the thermocouple type, program a
display offset, or disable/enable the sleep mode. The thermometer
stores the settings in its memory.

Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to enter or exit the Setup
mode. When the thermometer is in Setup mode, the display shows the
SETUP icon. Use the ENTER buttons or the arrow buttons to scroll

through the “TYPE”, “SLP” (sleep mode), and “T1/T2” (offset)

parameters.

Set Type J or K thermocouple

o From within the Setup mode (see the Setup Mode Options

paragraph above for accessing Setup mode) use the ▲ or ▼
button to scroll to the “TYPE” setting.

p Press ENTER to access the parameter.

q Use the ▼ button to toggle between J and K.
r Press ENTER to save the setting.
s Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to return to the

normal operating mode or press ENTER to move to the
“SLP” setting (sleep mode).

Set Sleep/Non-sleep mode

The thermometer enables the sleep mode option by default
where the meter will automatically shut off after 20 minutes of
inactivity.

o From within the Setup mode (see the Setup Options paragraph

above for accessing Setup mode) use the ▲ or ▼ button to
scroll to the “SLP” parameter if necessary.

p Press ENTER to access the parameter.

q Use the ▲ button to select ON (sleep mode enable) or OFF (sleep

mode disabled).

r Press ENTER to store the new setting in memory.
s Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to return to the

normal operating mode or press ENTER to move to the “T1”
offset setting.

Set T1 or T2 Offset

Use the offset feature (T1 or T2 Setup menu item) to adjust the

thermometer’s readings to compensate for a known temperature offset

at a specific temperature. The allowable adjustment range is ± 5.0°C or
± 9.0 °F.

1. Plug the thermocouple into the input connector.

2. Place the thermocouple into a known, stable temperature
environment (such as an ice bath or dry well calibrator). Allow the
reading to stabilize.

3. From within the Setup mode (see the Setup Mode Options
paragraph above for accessing Setup mode) press ▲ or ▼ to
scroll to the “T1” or “T2” option and then press ENTER.

4. Use the arrow ▲ or ▼buttons to adjust the offset. The lower digits
show the offset amount while the upper digits show the actual

temperature with the offset applied.

5. Press the ENTER button to store the value and move to the next
parameter.

6. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to return to normal
mode.

If the low battery icon appears, replace the batteries immediately to
avoid inaccurate readings.
