8 USING EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE PROBES (continued)
The Elcometer 319 has a 'Thermometer Mode' feature and when
enabled, the gauge only measures and displays the external probe
temperature (Te) - all other functions are disabled.
If 'Thermometer Mode' is enabled and an external temperature
probe is not fitted, the gauge will display an error reading '---'.
To enable 'Thermometer Mode'; press Menu/Temperature Mode,
followed by 'Sel'.
The connection of an external probe is indicated on the display:
If 'Thermometer Mode' is enabled, the display shows

Te;
If 'Thermometer Mode' is not enabled, the display shows

and Ts.
8.2 PREPARING THE GAUGE FOR USE WITH AN EXTERNAL
PROBE
The Elcometer 319 supports external temperature
measurements with a suitable probe from -40° to 200°C
(-40°F to 392°F) however, the gauge is only rated between
-20° to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F) and should not be exposed to
temperatures outside this range.
If a magnetic surface is available, attach the gauge to

the surface using the magnets built into the back of the gauge.
Ensure the gauge is attached securely before use.
If the external temperature probe is magnetic, attach the probe

to the magnetic surface.
If the external temperature probe is for measuring liquids, place

the probe tip in the liquid.
Note: If the temperature of the external temperature probe exceeds the range of
the gauge, there is no error message or warning but the reading value will
be saved as '---'.
