To avoid possible damage to the Meter or
other equipment, remember that while the
Meter is rated for -200.0 °C to +1090.0 °C and
-328.0 °F to 1994.0 °F, the included K-Type
Thermocouple is rated to 260 °C. For
temperatures out of that range, use a higher
rated thermocouple.
Display ranges are -200.0 °C to +1090.0 °C and
-328.0 °F to 1994.0 °F. Readings outside of these ranges
