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 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 automatically 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
Gage Setup>Battery Type menu (pg.18).
Battery performance decreases at low temperatures.
eneloop Batteries (available option)
DeFelsko recommends the use of eneloop (NiMH) rechargeable
batteries.
eneloop batteries 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.
