INSTALLATION

REPLACEMENT

If battery indicator turns on, battery life is approximately 8 to 10 hours. The battery indicator will start blinking with less than 1 hour of life remaining.

Selected settings are stored in memory and will remain in memory even after power is turned off, or while batteries are being replaced.

1. Before changing battery, turn instrument off and disconnect thermocouple.

2. Loosen screw and lift battery cover off back of case.

3. Remove the two AA batteries.

4. Insert two new batteries observing polarity.

5. Install cover and tighten screw.

10

CAUTION: WEAK BATTERIES

SHOULD NOT BE LEFT IN THE

INSTRUMENT. DEAD BATTERIES

CAN LEAK AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO

UNIT.

DANGER: VOLTAGES PRESENT AT

THE THERMOCOUPLE MAY ALSO

BE PRESENT AT THE BATTERY

TERMINALS. ALWAYS DISCONNECT

THE THERMOCOUPLE WHEN

CHANGING BATTERIES.

WARNING: TO PREVENT IGNITION

OF A HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE,

BATTERIES MUST ONLY BE

CHANGED IN AN AREA KNOWN TO

BE NON-HAZARDOUS.

11

Press the ON/OFF key. The thermometer performs a self-test and all display digits and indicators, as shown below, should remain on for approximately one second.

THERMOCOUPLE

Use the correct thermocouple type for your instrument. Using an incorrect thermocouple type will result in erroneous readings. Thermocouples are colour coded by type using the

North American ANSI Color Code as follows:

TYPE COLOR

J Black

K Yellow

T Blue

Thermocouple connectors have one wide blade and one narrow blade. Do not force connector in backwards.

Connect thermocouple to receptacle at top of instrument as shown in the following illustration.

12

Thermocouple wiring polarity must be correct. If readings decrease as the temperature increases, the thermocouple wires may be reversed.

The red wire is negative for thermocouple wires manufactured in

North America.

13

14

15

If a thermocouple is not connected or if the thermocouple is defective, the display will indicate OPEn.

Thermocouples are sensitive at the tip or measuring junction. 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.

SCALE

Select °C or °F by pressing the °C/°F key. Each time the key is pressed the temperature scale will switch. Switching between °C and °F can be done at any time during operation.

Each time you turn the instrument on, it will power up with the same settings that were set when the unit was last turned off.

16

Press the HOLD key to retain the reading on the display. Press the

HOLD key again for normal operation.

9. CALIBRATION

The thermometer is factory calibrated and does not require calibration before use. The CAL function allows single point calibration of the thermometer, at

0°C (32°F) to compensate for thermocouple off-set error. It is not necessary to perform a field calibration to obtain specified meter accuracy. Use the field calibration feature to improve

. thermometer/probe accuracy or to compensate for thermocouple drift.

1. Pack sensing end of probe in a container tightly packed with crushed ice and filled with distilled water. Allow temperature to stabilize.

2. Press and hold the CAL key for 5 seconds to enter the calibration mode, the CAL annunciator on the display starts blinking. Release the CALkey.

3. If the measured temperature is from

_10°C to10°C (14 to 50°F), when the

17

temperature reading is stable, press the CAL key.

The CAL indicator will stop blinking and the reading will be set to 0°C

(32°F). The CAL indicator will remain turned on, indicating a field calibration is active.

If “Err” is displayed, either the displayed reading is outside the above limits or the batteries are weak.

10. CANCELING A FIELD

CALIBRATION

1. Turn the thermometer off.

2. Hold the CAL key down while pressing the ON/OFF key.

The field calibration is canceled and the thermometer reverts to the default factory calibration. The CAL annunciator is now turned off.

18

11. 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.

12. LOCKOUT PROCEDURE

1. Turn the thermometer off.

2. Simultaneously press and hold the

CAL and the °C/°F keys down and momentarily press the ON/OFF key.

Continue to hold the CAL and °C/°F keys for at least 5 seconds.

19

13. RE-ENABLE PROCEDURE

1. Turn the thermometer off.

2. Simultaneously press and hold the

HOLD and the CAL keys down and momentarily press the ON/OFF key.

Continue to hold the HOLD and

CAL keys until the display blanks.

14. MAINTENANCE

Properly used, the thermometer should maintain calibration indefinitely and not require service other than occasional cleaning of the housing and changing of the batteries.

20

15. CLEANING

WARNING:

TO PREVENT IGNITION OFA

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.

16. BATTERIES

If there is no display when the thermometer is turned on, check condition of the two 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 replacement procedure.
