DT10K

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

• Keep your fingers away from the test lead metal probe contacts
and bus-bars when making measurements. Always grip the
instrument and test-leads behind the hand guards (molded into
the probes).

• In the event of electrical shock, ALWAYS bring the victim to

the emergency room for evaluation, regardless of the victim’s
apparent recovery. Electrical shock can cause an unstable heart
rhythm that may need medical attention.

Operating Instructions

NOTE: Make sure the DT10K turns completely off when changing meas­urement modes. Failing to do so may result in incorrect or erroneous
readings.

Temperature Measurement

1. Set the selector switch on the DT 10K to the ˚C or ˚F position.

2. Place the tip of the temperature probe into the medium to

be measured.

3. A l l ow 3 0 seconds for reading to stabilize in liquides, 2 minutes to

stabilize in semisolids and circulating air.

Minimum/Maximum Temperature Measurement

NOTE: Follow reset procedures before the start of any measurement
sequence where minimum and maximum temperatures are required.
This includes when the measurement mode is changed from ˚F to ˚C or
vise versa and the DT10K was already reset.

Setting up DT10K for MIN/MAX Temperature Readings

1. Set the selector switch to the ˚C or ˚F position.

2. Place the tip of the temperature probe into the medium to

be measured.

3. A l l ow 3 0 seconds for reading to stabilize in liquides, 2 minutes to

stabilize in semisolids and circulating air.

4. Fo l l ow minimum/maximum reset procedures.

damage this instrument.

WARNING!

Exceeding the specified limits of this meter is dangerous and can
expose the user to serious or possibly fatal injury.

• DO NOT attempt to measure any voltage that exceeds 600 volts
with this meter - UEi offers numerous alternatives for measuring
high voltage and current

• Voltages above 60 volts DC or 25 volts AC may constitute a
serious shock hazard

• DO NOT attempt to use this meter if either the meter or the test
leads have been damaged. Send unit in for repair by a qualified
repair facility

• Test leads must be fully inserted prior to taking measurements

• Always turn off power to a circuit (or assembly) under test before
cutting, unsoldering or breaking the current path. Even small
amounts of current can be dangerous

• Always disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the
common test lead from a circuit

• When measuring high voltage, disconnect the power source before
making test lead connections. Connect the test leads to the meter
first then to the circuit under test. Reapply power

• If any of the following indications occur during testing, turn

off the power source to the circuit under test:

• Arcing

• Flame

• Smoke

• Extreme Heat

• Smell of Burning Materials

• Discoloration or Melting of Components

• Read the safety precautions associated with the equipment being
tested and seek assistance or advice when performing
unfamiliar tasks.
