Operation

Connecting thermocouples

1. This meter accepts two thermocouples with spade plugs (sub-miniature type with one spade

wider than the other).

2. Plug the thermocouple(s) into the meter's T1 and/or T2 thermocouple input jack(s).

3. Always check the LCD display for the proper thermocouple type selection.

Turn Power ON

Press the button to turn power on. The meter will perform a short self-test. When a

thermocouple is not plugged into the selected input, or if a thermocouple is "open", the display will

show "- - - - -". The default thermocouple type, units and display configuration are determined from

the parameters selected when the meter was last used.

Selecting thermocouple type

Press the TYPE button to select the type of thermocouple.

Selecting °C, °F or °K units of measure

Press the C/F/K button to select the unit of measure.

Selecting T1, T2, and T1-T2 Displays

Press the T1 T2 T1-T2 button to step through and select from the following displays:

a. T1 (thermocouple 1) is the primary display; T2 (thermocouple 2) is the lower display

b. T2 is the primary display and T1 is the lower display

c. T1-T2 (difference between T1 and T2) is the primary display and T1 the lower display

d. T1-T2 is the primary display and T2 is the lower display

Notes:

To avoid electrical shock or personal injury, do not apply more than 20Vrms, between the

thermocouples, or between any thermocouple and earth ground.

If voltage on the measurement surface results in potentials of more than 1V, measurement errors

may occur.

If a potential exists between the thermocouples, use electrically insulated thermocouples.

Data Hold

Press the HOLD button to freeze the displayed reading. The 'H' HOLD icon will appear on the

display. Press the HOLD button again to return to normal operation.

MIN, MAX, AVG Recording Function and Timer

Press the MX/MN button to begin capturing the Minimum (MN), Maximum

(MX), and Average (AVG) temperature values. The Elapsed Time clock

will appear on the lower left of the display. The primary display shows the

current temperature. The lower display will indicate the MX, MN or AVG

value (depending on which is selected) captured since the MX/MN button

was pressed.

1. Press the MX/MN button to step through the MX, MN or AVG display Each reading will be

accompanied by a Timer value indicating the time the reading was recorded

2. Press and hold the ‘’ button to change the elapsed time format from min:sec to hour:min

3. Press and Hold the MX/MN button to exit the MX/MN function.

Backlight

Press the backlight button to switch on the LCD display backlight. The backlight will

automatically switch off after one minute (press button again to turn the light off manually).

Auto Power OFF

The meter will automatically switch off after 30 minutes of inactivity. AUTO POWER OFF is disabled

in the MAX/MIN and Datalogging modes.

To disable AUTO POWER OFF manually:

1. Hold the enter button ‘’ while turning power on.

2. The AUTO POWER OFF function will be reactivated when the meter is manually turned off.

Turning Power OFF

Press the button to turn power off.

Manual Datalogging

Manual datalogging allows the user to store and recall up to 98 temperature readings.

1. Press the MEM button to manually store a single reading into

memory. The ‘MEM’ icon and location number of the reading will

appear on display for two seconds and then the normal display will

return.

2. To view stored readings, press the READ button. The memory

location number will briefly appear and then the ‘READ’ icon and the

stored values will appear on the display

3. Use the up/down buttons to scroll through the memory locations and view the logged readings.

4. Press the ‘READ’ button to exit the read mode

5. Press and hold the MEM button while turning the meter on to clear

the memory. When the LCD indicates "CLr", the memory has been

cleared.

Automatic Datalogging

Automatic datalogging allows the user to store up to 8,800 temperature readings in memory for later

downloading and viewing using the supplied software. The storage interval rate is programmable

from 3 to 255 seconds.

1. Press and HOLD the SET button for two seconds to enter the

interval programming screen. The ‘MEM’ and ‘INTERVAL’ icons

and interval time will appear on the display. Use the up/down

buttons to scroll through the available intervals (3 to 255

seconds). Press the ‘’ button to select the desired logging

interval

2. Make note of the start time (time of day) for the datalogging

session as this information will be useful when downloading the

data.

3. Press and hold the MEM button for two seconds to enter the datalogging mode. The ‘MEM’ icon

on the center of the display will flash each time a record is stored (at the interval selected).

When the memory is full, ‘FULL’ will appear on the display and the meter will stop logging data.

4. To stop and exit the datalogging mode, press the MEM button.

5. To download data, read the datalogging sections below.

Note: MAX/MIN/AVG functions can be used with the meter in datalogging mode

Clearing stored data

1. Press the “ ” button to turn the meter off.

2. Press and hold the MEM button, then press the “ ” button to turn the meter on. When the

LCD indicates "CLr", the entire memory has been erased.

Datalogging Software

The instructions on how to install the datalogging software are printed on the Software CD label.

After reading the label’s directions, load the software CD in the PC CD-ROM drive.

When the program is opened a COM PORT selection prompt appears. Select the PC COM PORT

that will be used to connect the meter to the PC with the supplied cable (the cable connects to the

top of the meter and to the USB COM PORT on the PC).

Once the COM PORT selection is correctly made, the meter and PC begin communicating. The

main software screen, shown at right, appears. The menu icons at the top of the screen are

explained below.

FILE ‘SAVE AS’ ICON

The SAVE FILE icon is the first icon on the left. Click on this icon to save recorded data to a text file.

When clicked, the PC will prompt for a filename and location. Once saved, this file can be opened in

other programs such as spreadsheets, word processors, and databases.

OPEN FILE ICON

The OPEN FILE icon is located second from left. Click to open a file that has already been saved.

REAL TIME DATA LIST ICON

The LIST icon is located third from left on the main software

screen. When clicked, data is shown on the screen in list format

(shown at right). To save or print the list, click the SAVE or PRINT

icons in the Real Time List window.

REAL TIME DATA GRAPH ICON

The REAL TIME GRAPH icon is located fourth from left. When clicked, the data is shown on an x-y

graph (see diagram below). The vertical axis represents the temperature units; the horizontal axis

represents the time.

Click on PRINT to get a hard copy of the graph. Press the

four-arrow icon (next to the PRINT icon) to select the data

range to be viewed. See diagram below:

SAMPLING TIME (RECORDING INTERVAL) ICON

The INTERVAL icon (2nd icon from right) allows the user to change the number of seconds that the

meter waits before logging a reading. If the interval is set to 5 seconds, the meter will record a

reading every 5 seconds. The range is 1 to 86,400 seconds.

MIN/MAX/AVG ICON

The AVG icon (3rd icon from right) allows the user to view maximum, minimum and average

readings for T1 and T2 inputs in real time when the meter is connected to the COM PORT via the

supplied cable. See screen capture below on left.

Downloading Readings from the Meter to a PC

With the meter connected to the PC (as described earlier) and the

software running, click the datalogger download icon (first icon from the

right) to begin downloading data from the meter to the PC.

When the screen shown above right appears, select a set to view by

clicking on its number. A set is simply one datalogging session. Data will

be displayed in the data list format described earlier in the REAL TIME

DATA LIST ICON paragraph.

Once a data set has been selected, the

screen shown below will appear. Enter the

time of day datalogging began in HH:MM:SS

(hour/minute/second) format.
