BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT WEAK BATTERIES SHOULD CAUTION NOT BE LEFT IN THE INSTRUMENT. DEAD BATTERIES CAN LEAK AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO UNIT. VOLTAGES PRESENT AT DANGER THE THERMOCOUPLES MAY ALSO BE PRESENT AT THE BATTERY TER- MINALS. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE THERMO- COUPLE WHEN CHANGING BATTERIES.

If battery indicator turns on, battery life is approxi- mately 8 to 10 hours. The battery indicator will start blinking with less than 1 hour of life remaining. AT THIS POINT BATTERY MUST BE CHANGED. IF BATTERY VOLTAGE GOES TOO LOW, DIS- PLAY WILL GO BLANK.
CONNECTING A THERMOCOUPLE Note: Be sure your instrument setting (J, T, E or K) matches the thermocouple you are using. Use the correct thermocouple type for your instru- ment. Using an incorrect thermocouple type will result in erroneous readings. Thermocouples are color coded by type using the North American ANSI color code as follows: TYPE...
QUICK SETUP Note: Review warnings on page 6. 1. Install batteries. 2. Connect thermocouple(s). 3. Press the ON/OFF key. The thermometer per- forms a self-test and all display digits and indi- cators, as shown below, should remain on for approximately one second. 4.

COMPLETE SETUP PROCEDURE The setup procedure is used to select the tempera- ture scale, resolution, and thermocouple type. NOTE Selected settings are stored in memory and will remain in memory even after power is turned off, or while batteries are being replaced. SELECTING TEMPERATURE SCALE Select °C or °F by pressing the °C/ °F key.
OPERATING PROCEDURES The unit will always power up with the upper dis- play showing T1 unless T1 is not connected. If only T2 is connected at power up, the upper dis- play shows T2 and the lower left display indicates T1 is open.
Dual Probe Measurements The thermometer will automatically determine if one or two thermocouples are connected. When two thermocouples are connected, the upper main dis- play will initially show T1 and the lower right dis- play will show T2. Pressing the T1/T2 key once will cause the upper display to show T2 and the lower left display to show T1.

DIFFERENTIAL READINGS (T1-T2) The differential function is used to compare two different measurements and display the difference between them. Differential measurements can be made using either one probe or two probes. Single Probe Measurements For single probe measurements, one measurement is stored as the reference measurement, then each following measurement is compared to the refer- ence.
Dual Probe Measurement 1. Connect the two probes to the two points of measurement. The lower left display will indicate the T1 temperature, the lower right display will indicate the T2 temperature. 2. The main display can be scrolled between dis- playing T1, T2 or the differential temperature T1- T2 by repeatedly pressing the T1/T2 key.
1. Momentarily press the STORE key. Both T1 and T2 are stored. The upper main display will mo- mentarily show the storage location number and the STO annunciator will be on. After three seconds the storage number will be re- placed with the temperature reading but the STO annunciator remains on to indicate a temperature reading has been stored.

CALIBRATION The calibration function allows both single point and dual point calibration of the thermometer. Single point calibrates the offset only. Dual point calibrates the offset first then calibrates the slope. The ther- mometer can be calibrated at any temperature. When two probes are used, a match calibration matches the T1 and T2 offsets.
When calibrating at freezing (0°C or 32°F) it is rec- ommended to use crushed ice made of distilled water in a dewar flask. Add crushed ice to top of flask. Top off flask with distilled water. Continue to add crushed ice to maintain tightly packed crushed ice/water in flask.

3. Allow the reading to stabilize. If the displayed temperature is higher or lower than the reference temperature, use the MAX ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ key to increase the displayed reading or the MIN ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ key to de- crease the displayed reading until the reference temperature is displayed.
Page 26
Calibration Procedure (Two Probes Detected) This calibration function provides for both an offset and slope field calibration of either or both T1 and T2. For proper calibration the following conditions must be observed: • The slope point must be a higher temperature than the offset point.
Page 27
5. Allow the reading to stabilize. If the displayed temperature is higher or lower than the refer- ence temperature, use the MAX ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ key to in- crease the displayed reading or the MIN ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ key to decrease the displayed reading until the reference temperature is displayed.

11. Press the HOLD key to lock the T2 slope calibration in, or press the CAL key to skip T2 slope calibration. In either case you will now be in T1 = T2 offset calibration. To return to normal operation press any key except CAL key or HOLD key.
FIELD CALIBRATION LOCKOUT AND RE-ENABLE The calibration lockout feature, prevents any field calibration changes. The lockout remains in effect until a lockout re-enable has been performed. Use the following procedures to lockout or re-enable the field calibration operation. Lockout Procedure 1.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Properly used, the thermometer should maintain calibration indefinitely and not require service other than occasional cleaning of the housing and chang- ing of the batteries. TO PREVENT IGNITION OF WARNING A HAZARDOUS ATMOS- PHERE BY ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE, CLEAN WITH DAMP CLOTH.
