LIMITED LIABILITY Thermometer Manufacturer warrants the TM612 and TM612A RTD Digital Thermometer to be free from defects in material or workmanship under normal use and service for a period of 12 months from date of purchase. Manufacturer agrees to repair or replace any product, which upon examination is revealed to have been defective due to faulty workmanship or material if returned to our factory, transportation charges prepaid, within the above stated warranty period.
TM612 Unpacking Contents The TM612 (all references to the TM612 also include the TM612A unless otherwise indicated) was checked mechanically and electrically prior to shipment. The necessary precautions have been taken to ensure it reaches the user without being damaged.
Storage and transport temperature range limit: - 30°C to + 60°C (without the batteries). The TM612 is a portable RTD thermometer (compliant with EC standards). It is especially designed for calibration and maintenance. It is used to measure resistance values or temperatures both on site and in the laboratory.
This notion of categories determines the maximum voltage which can be applied to the measuring inputs (it is also referred to as the over voltage category). For the TM612, the ceiling over voltage is (DC or AC) Power-up POL 2°:...
ON/OFF key HOLD Navigation B.1.2 The measuring and simulation terminals The TM612 is fitted with 4 safety banana jacks (4 mm in diameter) and a 4-pin circular connector. These connector assemblies are used for measurements. Measurement: 3-wire Current terminal voltage/measurement...
(mini B connector) B.1.4 The screen The TM612 is fitted with a graphic LCD display with back-lighting. The display resolution is 160 x 160 pixels. In normal operating conditions, the display is divided up into seven horizontal fields: • The 1 field indicates the operating mode.
TM612 TM612 The table below provides a definition of each pictogram displayed on the screen: ROGRAMMING Symbol Description Scaling On hold C.1.1 Resistance or temperature measurement using resistive sensors Filtering %FS function (Full Scale) • The function type selection (Resistive sensor type) is made using the F1 key (Configuration Error Condition menu).
TM612 TM612 ELATED UNCTIONS Scaling The scale correction function performs conversion operations between the electrical values measured and the physical values converted. This linearization operation makes it possible to partially correct the errors induced by non-linear sensor/converter systems. The Scaling function allows definition of up to 11 correction values, i.e. 10 segments, in order to approach as much as possible the non-linear response curve, and to make the scale corrections according to each defined segment.
TM612 TM612 The NULLING/Define menu makes it possible to program the value of the Tare (positive or negative). This value is obtained from the measurements: Value Displayed = Value measured – Value of the Tare Once the parameters have been set, the scaling is automatically enabled. To disable it, enter the Configuration/Scaling ON menu, select OFF and confirm by pressing the VAL key.
Repeat this operation for all the calibration points (maximum of 4). Name of calibrated sensor used Storage of acquisitions in progress. The TM612 is designed to store 10,000 values in one or more acquisition bursts. • Using the F2 key, enter the Mode menu. • Select the Memory function.

TM612 TM612 “Preferences” setting. ARAMETER SETTINGS Contrast adjustment E.3.1 Filtering setting. In the event of noisy measurements, you can filter the latter to make the value displayed on the screen more stable. In the CONFIGURATION/SETUP menu, you can adjust the display contrast.
E.3.6 Temperature unit setting The TM612 may be adjusted using an instrument with a precision of more than 50 ppm. To adjust the device, go to the Configuration/Maintenance menu, enter the password 9456 and then press In the CONFIGURATION/SETUP/PREFERENCES menu, you can choose the temperature unit that will be the VAL key.
