SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: This instrument is designed to accept low level signals supplied by standard Thermocouples. Under NO circumstances should the input voltage exceed the specified 50V RMS. To prevent ignition of a hazardous atmosphere, batteries must only be changed in an area known to be nonhazardous.

BATTERY INSTALLATION The total battery life without backlighting and alarm is about 400 hours. The battery bar annunciator represents the battery strength. An empty battery annunciator indicates low battery strength; a blinking battery annunciator indicates that the batteries should be replaced immediately.
RUBBER ARMOR To insert thermometer into the optional rubber armor, slide in from the top of meter before pushing the bottom edges of meter down to set it into position. Lift up the stand at the back of meter for bench top applications if necessary.
CONNECTING A THERMOCOUPLE Use the correct thermocouple type for your instrument setting. Using an incorrect thermocouple type will result in erroneous readings. Thermocouples are colour coded by type using the North American ANSI Color Code as follows: TYPE COLOR Black Yellow Blue Purple...

Thermocouple wiring polarity must be correct. If readings decrease as the temperature increases, the thermo- couple wires may be reversed. The red wire is negative for thermocouple wires manufactured in North America. If no probe is connected the display will read “open”. Thermocouples are sensitive at the tip or measuring junction.

DISPLAY OVERVIEW The dot matrix display features a large primary display, smaller secondary displays for channel info or Min/Max/ Avg readings, and helpful annunciators for added measurement data. HOLD - Active Data logging is Active Alarm enabled – channel in alarm indicated: T1 or T2 or T1&T2 MAX/MIN/AVG of Secondary channel if MIN/MAX/AVG activated...
MEASUREMENT MODE On initial start-up, the meter will display the measured value for input one in the primary display and for input two in the secondary display. Pressing the F2 key will toggle primary display through input one (T1), input two (T2), and the delta (T1 –...
HOLD FUNCTON Press the hold key to retain the reading on the display. Press the hold key again for normal operation. MIN, MAX, and AVG FUNCTION Press the F1 key to toggle between the minimum, maximum, and average readings. This function is ideal for monitoring unattended operations while continually displaying every temperature change that occurs.
SETUP MODE To access the setup mode from measurement mode, press the F3 key (Menu). Press ▲▼ keys on the meter keypad to scroll through options. To enter a setup screen, press Select F1 key. To return to measurement mode press Meas F3 key.
GENERAL SETUP SCREEN The first page of the General Setup screen lets you set probe type, measurement units, time, and date. Press F1 to indicate you want to change the setting of the current parameter or recall▲ or log▼ to move to the next parameter.

On the second page, you can set auto-off time, line frequency, and password. This screen below is used to reset/change password. In the event if uses forget his/her password, 5586 can be used to reset to a new value - 17 -...
CALIBRATION SCREEN The thermometer is factory calibrated and does not require calibration before use. The Calibration function allows single- point calibration of the meter at 0°C (32°F) to compensate for thermocouple offset error. It is NOT necessary to perform a field calibration to obtain specified meter accuracy.

Select calibration method by pressing F1 and the ▲ or ▼ keys. Then select the channel you with to calibrate the ▲ or ▼ keys . Offset Calibration Use the ▲ or ▼ keys to adjust the value to match known temperature standard. Press F1 to accept.
Page 22
Slope Calibration Use the ▲ or ▼ keys to adjust the value to match known temperature standard. Press F1 to accept. Then move to second temperature point using the ▲ or ▼ keys and repeat. Match Calibration Use the ▲ or ▼ keys to adjust the value to match T1 readings and T2 readings.
ALARMS SCREEN Disable or enable the alarm for individual probe by pressing recall▲ or log▼ and F1 to accept. Increase or decrease individual limit by pressing recall▲ or log▼. - 21 -...
DATA LOGGING SCREEN Data Transfer from Meter to Computer (Model 91428-04 only) Press recall▲ or log▼ to choose the logging methods as auto or manual. If it is auto logging, using recall▲ or log▼ to set time interval. Its range is from 0 min to 60 min.
Once the USB connection is established, press the Start button to download data from Meter to PC using HyperTerminal. CALIBRATION REPORT SCREEN The Calibration report will show the time and date along with results of the last user calibration. - 23 -...
CLEAR / RESET SCREEN Press F1 to choose which data you want to clear or reset. For calibration, logged data, and reset all, you will have to enter the password to proceed. (Default Password is 9900) - 24 -...
MAINTENANCE Properly used, the thermometer should maintain calibration indefinitely and not require service other than occasional cleaning of the housing and changing of the batteries. CLEANING WARNING: TO PREVENT IGNITION OF A HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE BY ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE, CLEAN WITH DAMP CLOTH. Do not clean with abrasives or solvents.
TROUBLESHOOTING The following chart lists the most probable faults. There are no internal adjustments or user-replaceable parts. FAULT ACTION Check condition of batteries.
