computer using an USB cable to do real time temperature data
acquisition.
The main features of AM8010 Precision Thermometer include
the following：
High accuracy, up to 0.03ºC.
High resolution (0.01ºC).
Flexible sensor selection:
o100 ohm PRT with temperature coefficient
α=0.00385.
o100 ohm SPRT or PRT temperature coefficient
α=0.003925.
2.7 inch LCD display
oDisplay with backlight when used with external
power adapter or an USB cable connected to a
computer.
Multi line information display.
Large size touch pad for function controls and parameter
adjustments.
USB interface with a computer for data acquisition and
display using provided software.
Dual power supply
o2 AAA batteries
oExternal power adaptor /computer USB interface.

Figure 2-1 shows the front panel of AM8010 and its parameter
display. There are four function keys that are defined as
followings：
MENU
: MENU KEY,
: INCREMENT KEY,
: DECREMENT KEY, and
: RIGHT SHIFT and RETURN KEY.
The top panel of AM8010 is shown in Figure 2-2. There are
three interfaces: “SENSOR”，“USB or EXT POWER”and
power switch “OFF/ON”.

A foldable tilt foot support is mounted on the back of AM8010.
It helps user to put the meter in a stable position with a display
angle.
There is a battery cover on the back side of AM8010 Precision
Thermometer. Two AAA size batteries are used to power the
meter. A sliding switch besides the battery holder can be seen
when the battery cover is opened. This switch is used for
calibration only.
Warnings: Inappropriate setting change to this switch can cause
loss of calibration data. Instructions of using this switch are
shown in 4.1.

4 General Operations
4.1 Mode switch setting
There are two operating modes of AM8010: Measurement Mode
and Calibration Mode. Users can switch the mode by using a
Mode Switch. The Mode Switch is located near the battery
holder. The default mode is set to Measurement Mode.
Note: Only trained calibration personnel can set the switch to
“Calibration Mode”. See detailed instructions of calibration
procedure in Chapter 7.
The procedures to set this switch are as followings。
1. Turn off AM8010.
2. Open the battery cover at the back side of AM8010. Mode
Switch, which is a sliding switch, is located besides the
battery holder.
3. Text “MEA”and “ADJ”indicate whether AM8010 is set
to “Measurement Mode”or “Calibration Mode”.
4.2 Battery installation
AM8010 works with dual power supplies: battery and USB.
When AM8010 is powered by USB, batteries are not used even
there are batteries installed in the battery holder.
To install the batteries, just open the battery cover at the back
side of AM8010, follow the polarity signs on the battery holders.
AM8010 works with any type of AAA size batteries, like
alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
Caution: Do NOT combine different kind of batteries together.
Make sure the power switch is at “OFF”position when doing
battery installation.

4.3 Power with external adapter and USB
An AC/DC adapter (AC 100V ~ 240V input, DC5V output) can
be used to power AM8010.
The advantage of using the adapter is that the backlight of the
LCD display will be turned on and it is suitable for dim light
condition.
The connection procedures of the AC/DC adapter are as follows:
1. Connect USB A side to the adapter USB socket.
2. Connect USB mini-B side to “USB”connector of
AM8010.
3. Plug the adapter to AC 100V ~ 240V power point. Switch
on the AC power
4. If AM8010 is not powered on, switch it on. If AM8010 is
already powered by batteries and the power switch is on,
the backlight of LCD should be on.
5. The USB cable can be unplugged at anytime. If AM8010
is powered by batteries, it should still work properly.
AM8010 can be connected to a computer with USB interface. In
this case the computer is the power source for AM8010.
4.4 Sensor connection
PRT Sensors can be connected to the AM8010 “SENSOR”
socket with a 5-pin connector that is provided in this package.
Connecting steps are as followings:
1. Align the notch of sensor plug to the notch of
“SENSOR”socket.
2. Push in the sensor plug. At this moment, do not turn the
knob. A wrong turning of the sensor connector can
cause damage of the socket and plug.
3. After the plug is fully pushed in, turn the knob of the
plug clock-wise until it is fully tightened.
