D) Temperature Measurement - VOLTCRAFT VC-590OLED Operating Instructions Manual

d) Temperature measurement

When measuring temperatures, only the temperature sensor may be subjected
to the temperature to be measured. Do not exceed or deceed the DMM's operat-
ing temperature to prevent measuring errors.
The contact temperature sensor may be used on voltage-free surfaces only.
Enclosed with the DDM is a thermocouple with banana plugs that can be used to measure
temperatures between -40 and +230 °C. An optional type K thermocouples is required to use
the DMM's full measuring range (-40 to +1000 °C). An optional temperature measuring adapter
with type K socket is required to connect most type K thermocouples with miniature connector.
The adapter is not included.
All type K thermocouples can be used for temperature measurement. The temperature can be
displayed in °C or °F.
Proceed as follows to measure temperatures:
- Turn on the DMM and select the measuring range "°C". The
display shows the symbols for temperature measurement.
- Connect the included thermocouple correctly by inserting the
red plug (positive pole) into the V measuring socket (10) and
the black plug (negative pole) into the COM test socket (9).
For other type K thermocouples use an optional type K adap-
tor.
- The display shows the temperature value in °C.
- Use the SELECT key to switch the unit from °C to °F. Each
time you press the key, the unit is switched.
- If the display shows OL, the measurement range was ex-
ceeded or the thermocouple is defective.
- Remove the thermocouple and turn off the DMM after meas-
urement.
If the test input is bypassed (sockets: °C - COM), the device temperature of the DMM
is displayed. Due to the closed housing, the temperature will adjust to the surround-
ings very slowly.
