INTRODUCTION This versatile hand-held instrument provides highly accurate temperature measurements. The instrument is designed for easy operation and includes the following features: • Menu driven setup and operation • Datalogging for up to 1000 points on Temp 100, 2000 on Temp 300 •...
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: This instrument is designed to accept low level signals supplied by standard Thermocouples. Under NO circumstances should the input voltage exceed the specified 50V RMS. To prevent ignition of a hazardous atmosphere, batteries must only be changed in an area known to be non-hazardous.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT total battery life without backlighting and alarm is about 400 hours. The battery bar annunciator represents the battery strength. An empty battery annunciator indicates low battery strength; a blinking battery annunciator indicates that the batteries should be replaced immediately. Selected settings are stored in memory and will remain in memory even after power is turned off, or while batteries...
INSERTING AND REMOVING OPTIONAL RUBBER ARMOUR insert thermometer into optional rubber armor, slide in from the top of meter before pushing the bottom edges of meter down to set it into position. Lift up the stand at the back meter bench applications if necessary.
ASSEMBLING OPTIONAL HANDSFREE ACCESORIES You can use the optional magnets and strap in the Handsfree Kit accessories for hands free operations. - 8 -...
CONNECTING A THERMOCOUPLE Use the correct thermocouple type for your instrument setting. Using an incorrect thermocouple type will result in erroneous readings. Thermocouples are colour coded by type using the North American ANSI Colour Code as follows: TYPE COLOR Black Yellow Blue Purple...
Page 13
Thermocouple wiring polarity must be correct. If readings decrease as the temperature increases, the thermocouple wires may be reversed. The red wire is negative thermocouple wires manufactured in North America. If no probe is connected the display will read “open”. Thermocouples are sensitive at the tip or measuring junction.
