Status
The M Series default unit of measure is degrees Fahrenheit (°F), but you can configure the M Series to
display degrees Celsius (°C). See the M Series Configuration Guide for instructions on how to
configure alternate units of measure.
Setting Alar ms
Before taking a measurement, check that all the temperature alarm settings are appropriate for the
situation. You can set the alarms for Temperature Channel 1 (T1), Temperature Channel 2 (T2), and T
separately. See M Series Operator's Guide for instructions on setting alarms.
The M Series Temperature option includes temperature alarms for the following measurements:

Alarm Limit:
Temperature (T1
and T2)
Difference between
T1 and T2 ( T)
When the M Series is turned on, all alarm functions are disabled and the alarm limits are set to their
default values. Any changes to these settings remain in effect until either the settings are changed or 10
seconds after the M Series is turned off.
Setting Alar m Limits
You can change all the alarm limits using the standard M Series procedures. See M Series Operator's
Guide for instructions on setting alarm limits.
You can set the alarm limits using the Auto function, or you can choose your own limits (see above
table). The Auto function sets the high limit to 0.5° F (0.3° C) above and the low limit to 0.5° F (0.3°
C) below the measured temperature when limits are set.
Enabling, Disabling and Suspending Alar ms
You can enable, disable and suspend all Temperature alarms using the standard M Series procedures.
See M Series Operator's Guide for instructions on enabling, disabling, and suspending alarms.
Setting alarms for one temperature channel has no affect on the alarms for the other temperature
channel. Enabling, disabling or suspending Temperature alarms does not affect the status of other M
Series alarms.
