Stabilty Display The stability display shows the general stability level relative to a user configurable stability limit. There are 4 preset settings for stability represented in °C or °F (0.01, 0.1, 1.0, or 10.0). When the limit is exceeded, it also shows the general direction in which the readings are presently moving.

Stability Limit The stability limit setting is used to determine when the secondary display will indicate that the reading is stable. There are 4 preset settings for stability (0.01, 0.1, 1.0, or 10.0) expressed in the presently selected units. Change the unit stability limit setting to the next greater setting.

Damping The Damping function is a running average of readings used filter out "noisy" temperature sources. The choices are OFF, 2, 5, or 10 sample average. Change the damp setting to the next item in the list, cycling from the last to the first. Change the damp the previous item in the list, cycling from the first to the last.

Start or Stop Data Logging The logging status shows "FULL" if the data logging memory is full, "OFF" if not presently logging data, or "ON" if presently logging data. Pressing ENTER allows you to change the logging status. If not presently logging data, choose between "START" and "OFF".
RS-232 Interface An RS-232 interface is standard on the BetaProbe TI. Serial communication can be used for configuration, calibration, and to transfer measurement data from the probe. When the data logging software is purchased, a RS-232 and USB cable is included.

The RS-232 interface must not be used in hazardous areas. 5. Cleaning To clean the BetaProbe TI use a cloth with a mild cleaning solution. 6. Calibration The BetaProbe TI can be calibrated in the field by one of three methods depending on the extent of the calibration needed.
Out of warranty repairs and recalibration will be subject to specific charges. Under no circumstances will Martel Electronics be liable for any device or circumstance beyond the value of the product.
