2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
1. This instrument is designed to accept
low level signals supplied by standard
RTDs. Under NO circumstances
should the input voltage exceed the
specified 50V RMS.
2. To prevent ignition of a hazardous
atmosphere, batteries must only be
changed in an area known to be nonhazardous.
CAUTION:
1. Do not use or store this instrument in
microwave ovens or any abnormally
hot or cold areas.
2. Weak batteries should not be left in
the instrument. Dead batteries can
leak and cause damage to unit.
DANGER:
1. Voltages present at the RTD may
also be present at the battery
terminals. Always disconnect the RTD
when changing batteries.

OPTIONAL RUBBER ARMOUR
1.
2.
To insert thermometer into the
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 of meter for bench top
applications if necessary.
To remove thermometer from armor,
push out from the bottom edges of
meter until it is completely out of
boot.
-7-
6. ASSEMBLING OPTIONAL
HANDSFREE ACCESSORIES
You can use the optional magnets and
strap in the Handsfree Kit accessories
for hands free operations.
-8-
7. CONNECTING A RTD
Use the correct 100 Ω RTD (alpha =
0.003850) for your instrument. Using
an incorrect probe type will result in
erroneous readings. Insert the 3-pin
plug into the mating connector on the
top of the instrument.
If no probe is connected the display
will read “open”.
RTDs are sensitive at the tip or
sensing element. When taking
measurements, allow time for the
reading to stabilize. Multiplying the
time constant of the probe by 5 will
give you the approximate time
required.

time and date.
- 17 -
16. CALIBRATION SCREEN
The thermometer is factory calibrated
and does not require calibration
before use. The Calibration function
allows a single point calibration of the
thermometer, at any temperature
point, to compensate for RTD offset
error. It is NOT necessary to perform
a field calibration to obtain the
specified meter accuracy. Use the
field calibration feature to improve
thermometer/probe accuracy or to
compensate for RTD drift.
Before going into the Calibration mode,
the user must enter the password.
Press the F2 key to change to the next
digit. (Default Password is 9900)
- 18 -
There are two calibration options:
Offset – adjusts at a single point. Offset
calibration can be performed at any
temperature in the offset range of
±10.00 °C or ±18.00 °F.
Slope – adjusts at two points. The two
calibration points must be at least
40.00 °C (72.00 °F) apart. The second
calibration point should be at a higher
value than the first calibration point.
Press the ▲ or ▼ key to adjust the
value to match a known temperature
standard. Press the F1 key to accept.
- 19 -
17. ALARMS SCREEN
There are two kinds of alarm settings
available in the alarm setting options:
MEASUREMENT ALARM
Disable or enable the alarm by pressing

TO PREVENT IGNITION OF A
HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE BY
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE,
CLEAN WITH DAMP CLOTH.
Do not clean with abrasives or
solvents. Use mild detergents, never
immerse nor use excessive fluid.
23. BATTERIES
If there is no display when the
thermometer is turned on, check the
condition of the three AA batteries.
Also check that the battery terminals
are clean and batteries are properly
installed. If replacement is necessary,
refer to the BATTERY
INSTALLATION AND
REPLACEMENT section for the
replacement procedure.
