9 V battery. Continuous operation of 350 hours is typical with an alkaline battery or 200 hours typical with a carbon-zinc battery. The Model 865 measures temperatures on two ranges. The 300°F range measures temperature from –70°F to 300°F with a resolution of 1°F. The 200°...
PREPARATION FOR USE The Models 865 and 866 are ready for use, after the battery is installed. To install the battery, refer to paragraph 5.2.3. VERIFICATION CHECK Install a probe and, at room temperature, hold the tip of the probe between your thumb and index finger.
Figure 3-1 Model 865 Control Layout 3.2.2 Model 866 (See Figure 3-2) 1. Turn power on. Turning power on also selects the 150°C measurement range. 2. Insert appropriate temperature probe into the input jack. 3. Touch the probe tip to the material to be measured and read the display in degrees Celsius.
Figure 3-2 Model 866 Control Layout SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION The temperature sensor is thermistor based. The thermistor sensor is a negative temperature coefficient device. This means that as the temperature increases, the resistance of the thermistor decreases. This relationship is a logarithmic func- tion.

REF LO on U102 by way of C106 and U103B (see Schematic Diagram 866-106 or 865-106). The voltage that is applied to the input of U104A and across C111 is the difference between the output voltage of U104C and the voltage that was charged on C106 during the signal phase.
Figure 4-2 Zero Phase SECTION 5 SERVICE INFORMATION PERFORMANCE ACCURACY CHECK 1. Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 5-1. 2. Follow Table 5-1 to verify instrument performance. NOTE The LO of the resistance box must be connected to the LO (sleeve) of the / phone jack.
4. Remove the standoff that secures the PC board to the case. (It is located in the center of the PC board.) 5. Remove the switch cover for the Model 866 and for the Model 865. 6. Lift the PC board out of the top cover (front panel). CAUTION When removing the LCD from the PC board, be careful not to spread the four retaining hooks on the clear plastic bezel too far.

Figure 5-2 Models 865 and 866 Exploded View WARNING When reassembling the instrument, be sure to reinstall the switch cover. Common-mode voltage may be present on the switch, creating a hazard if the cover is not reinstalled.
23°C 3°C and a relative humidity of less than 80%. Use the following procedure to calibrate either Model 865 or Model 866. To locate the adjustment points, remove the bottom cover. See Figure 5-3 above.
Likewise, the troubleshooting section is a guide only and cannot cover all possible con- tingencies that may occur. Each Model 865 and 866 is covered by a 12-month warranty as described on the inside front cover of this manual. Warranty will be void if the unit shows evidence of...
Use the following formula to calculate the display reading. 1. Place a stable input to the instrument under test. For example, 190°F for the Model 865 and 150°C for the Model 866. NOTE All the measurements in steps 2 through 5 are referenced to analog common.
