Temperature

Temperature

Operating Range:

+32° to +120°F (0 to +50°C)

The

PosiTector 6000

compensates automatically for

temperature. Allow a few minutes for the probe to reach ambient
temperature before measuring.

Discard the first measurement taken in a notably different
temperature condition. When measuring surfaces much hotter or
colder than ambient, lift the probe at least 6 inches (15cm) and
allow 1 second off the surface between measurements.

The battery indicator displays a full bar with fresh alkaline
or fully charged batteries installed. As the batteries weaken, the
bar will be reduced. When the battery symbol is low
the Gage can still be used, but the batteries should be changed or
recharged at the earliest opportunity. The Gage will turn off
automatically when batteries are very low, preceded by a Low
Battery Warning on the display.

To retain all user settings and stored memory readings, only

replace the batteries after the Gage has powered-down.

Power Supply / Battery Indicator

Power Supply / Battery Indicator

Power Source: 3 AAA alkaline, Lithium or optional Nickel-metal
hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. For best battery indicator
results, ensure the appropriate Battery Type is selected in the
Setup > Battery Type menu (pg. 16).

Battery performance decreases at low temperatures.

Rechargeable Batteries (available option)

DeFelsko recommends the use of eneloop (NiMH) rechargeable
batteries. They combine the advantages of rechargeable batteries
and disposable (Alkaline) batteries. They discharge very slowly
and can be stored for long periods without having self discharge
concerns. (See www.eneloop.info)
