2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONSWARNING:1. This instrument is designed toaccept low level signals supplied bystandard RTDs. Under NOcircumstances should the inputvoltage exceed the specified 50VRMS.2. To prevent ignition of a hazardousatmosphere, batteries must only bechanged in an area known to benon-hazardous.CAUTION:1. Do not use or store this instrument inmicrowave ovens or any abnormallyhot or cold areas.2. Weak batteries should not be left inthe instrument. Dead batteries canleak and cause damage to unit.DANGER:1. Voltages present at the RTD mayalso be present at the batteryterminals. Always disconnect theRTD when changing batteries.- 2 -

Before changing battery, turninstrument off and disconnect RTD.2. Loosen screw and lift battery cover offback of case.3. Remove the three AA batteries.4. Insert three new batteries observingpolarity.5. Install cover and tighten screw.- 6 -

5. INSERTING AND REMOVINGOPTIONAL RUBBER ARMOUR1. To insert thermometer into theoptional rubber armor, slide in fromthe top of meter before pushing thebottom edges of meter down to set itinto position. Lift up the stand at theback of meter for bench topapplications if necessary.2. To remove thermometer from armor,push out from the bottom edges ofmeter until it is completely out of boot.- 7 -

6. ASSEMBLING OPTIONALHANDSFREE ACCESORIESYou can use the optional magnets andstrap in the Handsfree Kit accessories forhands free operations.- 8 -

7. CONNECTING A RTDUse the correct 100 Ω RTD (alpha =0.003850) for your instrument. Using anincorrect probe type will result inerroneous readings. Insert the 3-pin pluginto the mating connector on the top ofthe instrument.If no probe is connected the display willread “open”.RTDs are sensitive at the tip or sensingelement. When taking measurements,allow time for the reading to stabilize.Multiplying the time constant of theprobe by 5 will give you the approximatetime required.- 9 -

Use the field calibrationfeature to improve thermometer/probeaccuracy or to compensate for RTDdrift...Before go into the calibration mode, mustenter the password. Press F2 to change tothe next digit. (Default Password is 9900)- 18 -

There are two calibration options:Offset – adjusts at a single point. Offsetcalibration can be performed at anytemperature in the offset range of ±10.00°C or 18.00 °FSlope – adjusts at two points. The twocalibration points must be at least 40.00 °C(72.00 °F) apart. The 2nd calibration pointshould be at a higher value than the 1stcalibration point.Use the ▲ or ▼ keys to adjust the value tomatch known temperature standard. PressF1 to accept.- 19 -
