TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Note: Remove the red insulating strip to put the battery into service.
1. The probe may be used to monitor temperatures in air/gas, liquids, and
semi-solids. Place the stainless steel portion of the probe in contact with the
material to be measured.
Note: The probe handle and cable are not waterproof.
Do not immerse the
probe handle or cable in liquid. Immersing the probe handle or cable in liquid
can cause permanent damage to the thermometer.
Open the battery/cable compartment located in the middle of the back of the unit
to access the 3 foot probe cable and battery (see Fig. 2).
2. Press and hold On/Fast button to activate the Fast update rate (2 second update
rate). The update rate will return to Normal (10 second update rate) after
releasing On/Fast button. The battery is exhausted sooner when using fast
sensing.
3. Place your thumb on the middle of the front of the unit and slide the top cover
down to expose the controls (see Fig. 1).
4. Slide the °F/°C switch to °F to display the temperature in Fahrenheit or to °C
to display the temperature in Celsius.
5. Press Off/Auto Off Button twice to turn the unit off. To conserve battery life,
always turn the unit off when not in use.
SETTING HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM
1. Place your thumb on the middle of the front of the unit and slide the top cover down to expose
the controls (see Fig. 1).
2. Verify unit is in Thermometer mode by pressing Temp/Timer button until temperature reading
appears on display.
3. Press the HI/Hour button once to access High Temperature Alarm. HI and ALARM indicators
appear on the display.
4. Press HI/Hour button again to advance setting by one degree. Press and hold HI/Hour button
for rapid temperature advancement (10 digits at a time). Continue pressing Hi/Hour button
until desired temperature setting appears on display.
Note: The High Temperature Alarm range is from –50 to 260°C (–58 to 500°F). Once the
display has been advanced to 260°C (500°F), the display will roll over to 50°C (–58°F) with
next press of Hi/Hour button.
5. Once desired temperature setting appears on display, do not press any buttons. After a few
seconds, the display will return to the current temperature reading. A HI indication will appear
along bottom of display to signal that the High Temperature Alarm is set.
SETTING LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM
1. Place your thumb on the middle of the front of the unit and slide the top cover down to expose
the controls (see Fig. 1).
2. Verify unit is in Thermometer mode by pressing Temp/Timer button until temperature reading
appears on display.
3. Press Lo/Min button once to access Low Temperature Alarm. LO and ALARM indicators
appear on display.
4. Press Lo/Min button again to advance setting by one degree. Press and hold Lo/Min button for
rapid temperature advancement (10 digits at a time). Continue pressing Lo/Min button until
desired temperature setting appears on display.
Note: The Low Temperature Alarm range is from –50 to 260°C (–58 to 500°F). Once the
display has been advanced to 260°C (500°F), the display will roll over to –50°C (–58°F)
5. Once desired temperature setting appears on display, do not press any buttons. After a few
seconds, the display will return to the current temperature reading. A LO indication will appear
along bottom of display to signal that the Low Temperature Alarm is set.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
When the temperature on the display matches or is outside of the high or low range settings, the
alarm will sound for 1 minute and the corresponding HI or LO indicator will flash. The HI or LO
indicator will continue flashing after 1 minute until a button is pressed. To silence a sounding alarm,
press any button.
Note: Switching between Thermometer and Timer modes will not affect High or Low Temperature
Alarms. If unit is in Timer mode when a High or Low Temperature Alarm activates, alarm will sound
and HI or LO indicator will flash on display.
DISABLING A TEMPERATURE ALARM SETTING
