  • Page 4: Operation

    The HEAT-Prober instrument has an accurate measuring range as stated on the front label. The probes, however, may not be capable of this entire range of use. Wahl probes are typically capable of -40°C to 500°C (or -40°F to 900°F).
  • Page 5: The Batteries

    2.4 The Batteries The 392HP, 392E, 392EX, 392M, and 392MX HEAT-Prober are powered with five size AA rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries, 1.2 volts each. The total capacity is 650 milliampere hours at 6.0 volts. The display demands the largest power drain. Depending on the number of digits being displayed, the batteries can power the instrument for a minimum of 5 hours or for as long as 8 hours.

    A portable probe temperature sensor must have the following characteristics: (a) a low thermal mass (product of its specific heat and weight); The High Performance HEAT-Prober, Model 392HP, utilizes probes similar to (b) a large area for surface contact to permit heat-transfer between the...

Control and handshaking between the converter and the com- puter is performed by this latter subroutine. Data is fetched in 2 bytes, first the low order 8 bits, then the high order 4 bits, the sign and over range bits.
