Operation

Connecting thermocouples

1. This meter accepts a K/J-type thermocouple with spade lugs (the subminiature type with one spade wider than the other).
2. Plug the thermocouple into the meter’s thermocouple input jack.

Measuring

1. Press the button to switch ON the thermometer. After 1 second the thermometer will display the first temperature reading (upper display).
2. Press the C-F-K button to select the desired temperature unit of measure. A display icon will reflect the selection.
3. Touch the object to be measured with the probe. Read the measured temperature on the display. Note: If the display indicates “OL” the temperature is outside the measurement range. The display shows “- – – -“ when a thermocouple is not connected.

MAX/MIN/AVG modePress MAX/MIN to capture and step through the maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), and average (AVG) temperature values. These values will be shown in the lower display with an elapsed time reference below (hrs: mins, mins: secs).

1. Press MAX/MIN to enter this mode.
2. Press MAX/MIN to step through maximum, minimum and average readings.
3. Press and hold MAX/MIN for 3 seconds to return to normal mode.

Data HoldPress the HOLD button to freeze the reading in the display. HOLD will appear at the top right of the display. Press the HOLD button again to return to the normal operation mode.BacklightPress the SETUP button to switch the backlight OFF/ON.Setup optionThe setup option is used to select the thermocouple type that matches the type that will be connected to the meter, to switch the sleep mode OFF/ON, and to adjust the thermocouple offset.Note: In the setup mode, the upper display shows the menu items and the lower display shows the selection for a given menu item.

Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to enter or exit the Setup mode. When the thermometer is in Setup mode, the display shows the SETUP display icon.Set Type J or K thermocouple

1. Press or scroll to the “TYPE” setting (shown on the bottom left of the display).
2. Press ENTER to choose the option.
3. Press to toggle between J and K.
4. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to save the setting and return to normal mode.

4. Press ENTER to store the new setting.
5. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to return to normal mode.

Set OffsetUse the offset option in Setup (T1 menu item) to adjust the thermometer’s readings to compensate for known temperature offset at a specific temperature. The adjustment range is ± 5.0°C or ± 9.0 °F.

1. Plug the thermocouple into the input connector.
2. Place the thermocouple into the known, stable temperature environment (such as an ice bath or dry good calibrator). Allow the reading to stabilize.
3. Use the arrow keys to scroll to the “T1” option and then press ENTER.
4. Change the offset temperature reading (upper display) by pressing until the desired temperature is reached.
5. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to return to normal mode.

Replacing the Batteries

1. Switch OFF the thermometer.
2. Loosen the battery compartment screw and remove the compartment door.
3. Replace the AAA batteries.
