UNI-T UT323 Operating Manual

Overview
The Uni-Trend Model UT321, UT322, UT323 and UT325 Thermometers
('the thermometer) are microprocessor-based, digital thermometers designed
to use external J-, K-, T-, E-, R-, S- and N- type thermocouples (temperature
probes) as temperature sensors.
UT321: single input(T1), suitable for K-, J-, T- and E- type thermocouples
UT322: dual input(T1,T2), suitable for K-, J-, T- and E- type thermocouples
UT323: single input(T1), suitable for K-, J-, T-, E-, R-, S- and N- type thermocouples.
Equipped with over limit alarm, over limit signal output and user self-debug
features.
UT325: dual input(T1,T2), suitable for K-, J-, T-, E-, R-, S- and N- type
thermocouples.
Equipped with over limit alarm, over limit signal output and user self-debug features.
Safety Information
Use the thermometer only as specified in this manual. Otherwise, the protection
provided by the meter may be impaired.
Refer to safety information in Table 1 and the international symbols in Table 2.
Table 1. Safety Information
Warning
A warning identified conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. To avoid
electrical shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
Before using the thermometer inspect the case. Do not use the thermometer if it
appears damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to
the insulation around the connectors.
Disconnect the thermocouple(s) from the thermometer before opening the case.
Replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator (
possibility of false readings can lead to personal injury.
Do not use the thermometer if it operates abnormally. Protection may be
impaired. When in doubt, have the thermometer serviced.
Do not operate the thermometer around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the thermometer (30V),
between the thermocouple(s), or between any thermocouple and earth ground.
When potential differences are anticipated between the thermocouples, use
electrically insulated thermocouples.
When servicing the thermometer, use only specified replacement parts.
Do not use the thermometer with any part of the case or cover removed.
Caution
A caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the meter or the
equipment under test.
Use the proper thermocouples, function, and the range of your thermometer.
When carrying two thermocouples measurement, make sure there are no
potential differences between two thermocouples.
Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
Match the + and – polarities of the battery with the battery case.

Using the Thermometer
1) Plug the thermocouple(s) into the input connector(s).
2) Press the power button to turn on the thermometer.
3) Set the type of thermocouple(s) to be the same with the one plugged into the
input connector(s).
If no thermocouple is plugged into the selected input terminal or the thermocouple
is "open" or the over-range positive deviation is too big, the display
shows "_ _ _ _ ".
Changing Setup Options
Use Setup to change the following settings:
Logging interval Thermocouple type Offset (T1)
UT325 only) Sleep Mode Line Frequency Time (S-T)
(Lo) (UT323 and UT325 only) High Limit Alarm (Hi) (UT323 and UT325 only)
Over Limit Signal Output (SI) ON/OFF (UT323 and UT325 only) Normal
Temperature Compensation (NTC) ON/OFF DEBUG ON/OFF (UT323 and
UT325 only) Save setting and return to normal measurement mode.
When the thermometer is in Setup mode, the display shows and blinks SETUP.
Press SETUP to start or exit Setup.
Press SETUP to scroll through the Setup options you want to change.
The logging interval determines how often the thermocouple stores logged
readings in memory. You choose the length of the logging interval. See "Using
Memory".
Press SETUP until the display shows INTERVAL.
The thermometer stores logged readings at the end of each logging interval.
You can select a logging interval by pressing or . Holding down or
the number to change more quickly. The maximum interval is 59:59 and the
minimum interval is 00:00. When the logging interval is 00.00, you need to store
the readings manually as the auto store feature will be disabled.
1. Press SETUP until the display shows TYPE.
2. Press or to select the thermocouple type you want including K-, J-, E- type

TYPE button to change directly)).
1. Press SETUP until the display shows OFFSET and T1

toggle between time format "h:m" and "m:s".
5. If you don't change this option, it means the time that the meter has run
through currently.
6. The system counts the time when the user turns on the thermometer. It will
be automatically cleared once the Thermometer is dis-energized.
6. The Min.value for low alarm is the lower limit value of measuring range of the
applied thermocouple.
7. The Max. value for low alarm is the setting high alarm limit value if high alarm
is enabled (if still higher than high alarm limit value, Max. value=High Alarm
Limit Value-1), otherwise this Max. value is the upper limit value of measuring
range of the applied thermocouple.
