    12 inches. BAT-12, for battery operation, is supplied ready for use with a 9V alkaline bat- tery already installed. Shipment will include the carrying case and a male plug for connection to the analog output.
  • Page 4: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions are found on the metal label fixed to the BAT-12. They are reprinted here in case the label ever becomes defaced. BAT-12 OPERATING NOTES TO MEASURE Insert the plug of any Type T thermocouple TEMPERATURE probe into the blue socket marked INPUT.
  • Page 5: Analog Output

    A DC output, whose amplitude is approximately proportional to instrument reading, is provided from the 3.5mm miniature jack on the front panel. A mating plug is supplied with each BAT-12. This plug may be left in the socket until it is required for use.

    The first of these was Bailey thermometer BAT-4, which was designed in 1969 and is now in use throughout the world. Your BAT-12 is an advanced version of the original equipment using the latest low power digital technology and compensated electronic reference circuitry.
  • Page 7 For example, with a probe of 1/16” diam- eter, 10 x 1/16” = 10/16” = .625” = the minimum immersion depth. Errors between thermocouple probes. All Physitemp clinical probes and sensors are made with thermocouple wire that has been specially tested to meet our own stringent standards.
  • Page 8 Add this difference to the subsequent reading when using the perpendicular position. 6.12 BAT-12 with a suitable probe has the ability to measure surface gradients, giving almost instant readings at each point. This feature enables heat sinks to be designed without guesswork, for maximum efficiency with minimum metal.

    not be used on electrical equipment where voltages are present as the sensor is con- nected to the stainless steel sheath. The following probes are isolated and suitable for use on certain electrical equipment: TFT series, RET-1, ESO-1, IT-14, IT-18, IT-21. Check with out technical department for details.
  • Page 10: Checking Calibration

    Allowing for some reading error in the glass thermometer (there can be none in the digital BAT-12), readings should agree with the limits noted in 8.1. If readings are outside these limits, the instrument should be returned for further checks. (See section 10.0.) Recalibration of BAT-12 should not be attempted unless you have an...
