INTRODUCTION

The instrument is a portable digital thermometer that
measures external thermocouples of type K, J, R, S, T, E,
N. The thermocouples types comply with the N.I.S.T. - ITS
90 standard reference temperature/voltage tables. The
thermometer features a dual thermocouple input, an ad-
justable T/C offset and an RS-232 interface for uploading
data to a PC using optional software and cable.

SAFETY INFORMATION

To avoid electrical shocks, do not use the device when the
working voltages exceed 24V AC or DC. To avoid damag-
es to the instrument and/or physical burns, do not make
measurements in microwave ovens. Avoid sharp bending
of the thermocouple leads to prolong its life, especially

CAUTION
Repeated sharp flexing can break the thermocouple
leads. To prolong lead life, avoid sharp bends in the
leads, especially near the connector.

GENERAL

Displays: Main Second Third the Main and 2
panels are 4½ digit liquid crystal display (LCD) with
maximum reading of 19999, these panels are use for
displaying the value of T1 or T2. The Third panel dis-
plays the date, time, or the difference value of T1 to T2.
When the input measurement is overloaded, the follow-
ing is displayed " .".
Battery: Standard 9V battery. (NEDA 1604, IEC 6F22
006P). Battery life is about 100 hours when used with a
carbon zinc battery.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operational Mode

There are three operation modes - Normal, Shift, and Set-
up Mode.

Normal Mode:

This is the default mode; the operating functions for the
normal mode are printed on the top of each button in white
color.
Shift Mode:
The operating functions for the shift mode are printed in
yellow color on the buttons. While in the normal mode,
push the SHIFT button to switch to shift mode. At the
lower-right corner of the display panel, the word "Shift" is
displayed to indicate shift mode. To switch back to normal
mode, press the SHIFT button.
Setup Mode:
The operating functions for the setup mode are printed in
between two bracket signs "[ ]"on each button. Press the
SET[] button in normal mode to switch to setup mode, the
indicator "SET" is shown on the left side of the display
panel. To switch back to normal mode, press SET[] button.
NORMAL MODE
The following functions can only be use in the normal
mode.
(1) " " Power Button
The button turns the thermometer on or off. When
entering data set mode, the power off function is disa-
bled.
(2) "Limits" Button (only Main display)
The limits function will alert the user when a meas-
urement exceeds a specified limit. To set the limit val-
ues, refer to limits function in the setup mode.
Press the [Limits] button to activate the limits function;
the word "LIMIT" should be displayed on the LCD.
When the value of the main display exceeds the Hi
limit, the word "Hi" will be displayed and the ther-
mometer will beep in an interval frequency. If the val-
ue of the main display is lower then the Lo limit, the
word "Lo" will be displayed and the thermometer will
beep in a continuous frequency.
In limits function, on K, J, type and the scale of tem-
perature at °F when the reading over 2000°F then the
reading counts should be time 10. (ex: 2100°F means
21000 counts)
To exit the limits function, press the [Limits] button.
