Display Description RJ-ON OUTPUT INPUT C°F OUTPUT Indicates that the instrument is in output mode. INPUT Indicates that the instrument is in input mode. Indicates that the instrument is performing its reference cold junction compensation. Indicates battery power is low and batteries need to be replaced.
Operating Instructions Power ON/OFF Press the POWER button to turn the instrument on. To turn the instrument off, press and hold the POWER button. Auto Power-Off As a default, the instrument will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity. To turn off this feature: Turn the meter off.
Output Function • The output terminal of the instrument can produce DC voltages or can simulate thermocouple temperature set by the user. Do not apply any voltage to the output terminal during the operation. If any improper voltage is applied to the output terminal, it will cause damage to the internal circuit. Simulating Output from DC Voltage Insert one end of the test lead into the output (OUTPUT) terminal of the...
Press the button to change the numerical value of each digit. (Numerical value cannot be changed beyond range maximum.) Automatic compensation for cold junction temperature. Note: While calibrating an instrument with cold junction temperature compensation, press the RJ-ON button so that the meter can start the function of automatic cold junction compensation. The meter will output the necessary temperature thermoelectric force, and display 'RJ-ON': Output thermoelectric force = corresponding thermoelectric force of set temperature –...
• Pay particular attention not to connect the current signal to the input terminal. Incorrect connection may cause damage to the meter and the instrument under test. Measuring DC Voltage Insert one end of the test lead into the INPUT terminal of the meter and connect the other end to the output terminal of the instrument under test, as shown in the diagram to the right. Press INPUT/OUTPUT button to select the Input function. 'INPUT', 'mV' will be displayed.
Battery Replacement When the battery symbol appears on the display that the battery needs to be replaced. Ensure that the meter is turned OFF and remove any test leads from the meter terminals. Lift the tilt stand on the back of the unit to access the battery compartment door which can be removed using a Phillips head screwdriver.
