■ Precautions for handling components

Always observe the following precautions to avoid operator injury and damage to the equip­ment.

● Probe

Warning

Do not point the tip of a needle-type standard probe or needle-type high-speed probe
at another person. The tip of the needle is very sharp and can cause injury.

Caution

• Do not touch the stylus (metal) of a probe which has just measured a hot object. A
hot stylus can cause a burn.

• Do not use a worn or damaged probe. Such probes cannot measure temperatures
correctly.

• Before removing the probe from the main unit, pull the probe away from the object
to be measured.

• If a needle-type standard probe or needle-type high-speed probe is used, stick it
into a measuring object half the dimension of the probe’ s stylus (metal). If it is stuc k
in too deeply , the operator ma y be burnt due to heat transf er to the probe grip. Also,
the probe itself may be damaged.

• The probe grip and the cable connected to the main unit must be maintained at a
temperature between -20C and 50C. They have a small heat resistance, unlike the
stylus (metal) of the probe.

● Battery

Caution

If this instrument will not be used for a long period, remove the battery from the main
unit. Otherwise, the battery liquid may leak and damage the main unit or cause it to
malfunction.

1 Features of This Product

1 Features of This Product

This product is a handy-type thermometer that can measure a temperature and
make a record of it. It has a “collector function” to record the measured tempera­tures and measurement conditions under the specified tag, and a “logging func­tion” to automatically measure and record temperatures at given intervals.
This section outlines each function.

■ Collector function

The collector function is used when the measured temperature and measurement conditions
are recorded under the specified “tag”.

In the “tag”, the tag name (i.e. “what”), date and time (i.e. “when”), operator name (i.e. “who”),
and alarm (i.e. “judgment on the measured data”) are recorded as the measurement condi­tions, in addition to the measured temperature.

1 Features of This Product

■ Logging function

The logging function is used to automatically measure temperatures at given measurement
intervals and to continue to record the result data. This function is useful when a temperature
variation within a certain period of time (e.g. temperature variation in a refrigerator being
transported) needs to be recorded.

With this logging function, the temperatures and date (year/month/day) and time will be re­corded as a “log”. Unlike the collector function, the logging function does not record the
operator name and alarm (measured data judgment).

1 Input Channel and Probe

1 Input Channel and Probe

When measuring temperatures with Thermo-Collector, it is necessary to use an
appropriate input channel and probe. By combining these items in different ways,
it is possible to measure the temperature of various objects. The temperature of
air (gases), the surface and center of a solid, and various types of liquids can be
measured.
For example, the “C” input channel (built-in sensor of the main unit) is used to
measure the ambient air temperature. To measure the temperature at the center
of a hamburger , connect a needle-type standar d probe to the “A” measuring chan­nel. To measure the surface temperature of a steel plate, connect a radiation
temperature probe to the “D” input channel.
The following table shows the available probe types, their corresponding input
channels, and the positions of connection jacks.

Probe (option) type Input channel Position of connection jack

Standard needle probe (Model name: 900 01)
High speed needle probe (Model name: 900 11)
Surface probe (Model name: 900 12)
Rounded end probe (Model name: 900 13)
Built-in sensor C Built into the main unit

Emission thermo probe (Model name: 900 03)

Do not point the tip of a needle-type standard probe or needle-type high-speed probe
towards somebody. The needle tip is very sharp and can cause injury.

Caution

• Handle the needle-type standard probe and needle-type high-speed probe carefully
so that its stylus is only put into the intended measuring object.

• Do not use this instrument in a location where it may be splashed or dropped in
water, otherwise it may malfunction.

Accuracy

Accuracy of the external probe input channel (A ch) of the main unit

Measuring range Accuracy

-20 ≤ C ≤ 0 (-4 ≤ F ≤ 32) ±0.4C (±0.8F) where the ambient temperature is at 23C ±5C,
0 < C < 100 (32 < F < 212) ±0.3C (±0.6F) (73.4 F ±9F) the humidity is between 20 and
100 ≤ C < 150 (212 ≤ F < 302) ±0.4C (±0.8F) 80%RH, and the battery voltage is at 1.5V ±0.1V,
150 < C ≤ 200 (302 < F ≤ 392) ±0.7C (±1.3F) and excludes the accuracy of the probe.

Accuracy of the built-in sensor (C ch)

Measuring range Accuracy

-20 ≤ C ≤ 0 (-4 ≤ F ≤ 32) ±1.0C (±1.8F)
0 < C < 40 (32 ≤ F ≤ 104) ±0.8C (±1.5F)
40 ≤ C ≤ 50 (104 ≤ F ≤ 122) ±1.0C (±1.8F)

Accuracy (indication accuracy) of the radiation probe data input channel (D ch)

The indication accuracy for a radiation probe (model: 900 03) that can be connected to Thermo-Collector is ±1°C
(±1°F), excluding errors involved in the radiation temperature probe itself (Refer to the radiation temperature
probe specifications).

Characteristics

Effects from ambient temperature

A ch: Within ((±0.3C/10C) ±1 digit) (Within ((±0.6F/18F) ±1 digit)). For the accuracy of C ch, refer to the table
(Accuracy of the built-in sensor (C ch)) as shown above.

Effects from battery voltage drop

While the battery voltage alarm is off: Within ±1 digit

Battery life

Approx. 2 weeks (while the collector function is on, for eight hours of measurement per day and 30 minutes of
communication)
Approx. 1 month (while the logging function is on and measurement is at 1-minute intervals)
Approx. 3 months (while the logging function is on and measurement is at 10-minute intervals)

where the ambient temperature is at 23°C ±5°C,
(73.4F ±9F) the humidity is between 20 and
80%RH, and the battery voltage is at 1.5V ±0.1V,
and using a thermistor as the sensor.

*The battery life depends on the battery quality and measurement environment. The maximum lives shown the

above are those which measured with an LR6 alkaline dry cell under a room temperature.

●Functions
Measurement mode and interval

Collector mode

While the [LOG] sign is off, measurements will be saved in the internal memory if the [Memory] key is pressed
under a condition where an optional tag is being displayed on the screen. A tag name must consist of maximum
eight alphanumeric characters. The maximum number of tags is 50. The measurement interval should be 1 second
or longer. A measurement operator name must consist of maximum eight alphanumeric characters. The maximum
number of operators is 10.

7878

IM 54051-E

Logging mode

While the [LOG] sign is on, measurements will be saved in the internal memory if the [Memory] key is pressed
under a condition where an optional log is being displayed on the screen. A log name must consist of maximum
eight alphanumeric characters. The maximum number of logs is 10. The measurement period depends on the
remaining capacity of the internal memory. The measurement interval should be greater than 1 second and less
than 24 hours.

Capacity of the internal memory

5000 pieces of data with the collector function solely. If using only the logging function, the maximum data
capacity is 20000 pieces.
However, the measured data collected either with the collector function or with the logging function can co-exist
in the internal memory.

Display

Semi-transmission type liquid crystal display (LCD)
8 characters x 2 lines dot matrix display section and icon display section

Display light

Two backlight LEDs for the display section. 10 seconds of duration from the moment when any key is operated
(factory setting: OFF).

Clock function

Controls the date (internal data) and time (internal data and display). The accuracy is within 1 minute per month.

Alarm function

This function can be set to the upper-limit temperature and lower-limit temperature. In both cases, it can be set so
either the alarm is turned on if the temperature falls within or outside the specified range.

Calculation function

Can obtain the maximum temperature (MAX), minimum temperature (MIN), and average (AVE).

Key operation sound function

Possible to set on or off of the buzzer sound when the keys are operated (factory setting: ON).

Auto Power Off function

Selectable from 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes or infinite (factory setting: 10 minutes).

Low battery voltage alarm

A battery symbol turns on if the set LR6 alkaline dry cell almost expires.

Auto Operation Stop at a low battery voltage

When the set LR6 alkaline dry cell is almost used up, the system power will be automatically turned off after the
“BatteryEmpty” message appears.
Do not leave the used battery being set in the main unit. This may cause operation errors or battery liquid leakage.

Back-up function

Used to back up the measurement data or clock function when the regular LR6 alkaline dry cell is not installed.
The back-up battery has a capacity to retain data for typically six years under the room temperature (23±5C).

Key lock and FUNC lock

Disables the operation keys and function keys other than the Power key (factory setting: OFF).

Specification of the number of display digits

The user can specify whether the least significant digit of temperature display is the first decimal position (i.e.

0.1C (0.1F)) or first integer (i.e. 1C (1F)). (factory setting: 0.1C (0.1F))
