Adjustment of the measuring input
The temperature input can be adjusted with the zero point correction and the gradient correction. If an adjustment is made, you change the pre-adjusted factory settings. This is signalled with the display text T.OF or T.SL when switching on.

Switch the device off.
Hold the down button and press the On/Off button briefly to switch on the device and open the Adjustment menu.
The display shows the first parameter. Release the down button.

Parameter	Values	Meaning

|
T.OF| Zero point correction
| 0.0| No zero point correction
| -5.0 … 5.0| Zero point correction in °C. (at °F -9.0 .. 9.0)
T.SL| Gradient correction of the temperature
| 0.00| No gradient correction of the temperature
| -5.00 … 5.00| Gradient correction in %

Formula used by device:

Temperature = °C: Display = (measured value – T.OF) * (1 + T.SL / 100)
Temperature = °F: Display = (meas. value – 32 °F – T.OF) * (1 + T.SL / 100) + 32 °F

Adjustment example:
Temperature unit= °C, the adjustment is carried out in 2 separate steps at 0 °C (e.g. ice water) and at a reference temperature (e.g. clinical thermometer with water bath 37 °C).- First set the values of t.oF and t.SL in the adjustment menu to 0

Zero point: Set the temperature probe to 0 °C and let it adjust.

Start the adjustment menu and enter the display value at 0 °C for t.oF
After leaving the menu, the device should now display 0.0 °C.
Slope: Set the temperature sensor to the reference temperature and let it adjust.
Calculate slope correction:
Start adjustment menu and enter the calculated value at t.SL
Exit menu, the device should now display the reference temperature

Measurement Basics

Sensor/device accuracy
The device can be equipped with different interchangeable sensors. The temperature sensors are divided into the following classes according to EN 60584-2.

class	deviation	temperature range
1	±1.5 °C or ±0.4 % of measured value *	-40 … 1000 °C
2	±2.5 °C or ±0.75 % of measured value *	-40 … 1200 °C
3	±2.5 °C or ±1.5 % of measured value *	-200 … 40 °C

The system accuracy of the measuring chain (device + probe) is the sum of the accu-racy of the probe and the accuracy of the characteristic curve and cold junction of the device.

Possible measuring errors

Immersion depth
Liquid: Immerse to a depth of at least 20 mm and then stir. Otherwise, measuring errors can occur due to the heat transmission of the sensor tube if the immer-sion depth is too shallow.
Gas: Immerse as far as possible into the gas to be measured so that the measur-ing sensor is subjected to a heavy flow.

Surface effects and poor heat transfer
Special measuring sensors are required for this purpose. Surface characteristics, de-sign of the measuring sensor, heat transfer and environmental temperature influence the measurement result.
NOTE: Thermally conductive paste between the measuring sensor and surface can also in-crease measurement accuracy in some cases

Cooling / evaporation

When measuring the air temperature, the probe should be dry, otherwise the tempera-ture measured will be too low.

Response time
An adequate wait time must be observed for the measuring process before reading the measured value. The response time T90 describes the time in which the displayed measured value reached 90% of the end value.

Operation and maintenance

Operating and maintenance notices

NOTE
The device and temperature probe must be handled with care and used in accordance with the technical data. Do not throw or strike

NOTE
Plugs and sockets must be protected from soiling.

NOTE
If the not used for an extended period of time, the batteries must be removed. Leaks from the batteries are avoided as a result.

Battery
Battery indicator

If the empty frame in the battery display blinks, the batteries are depleted and must be replaced. However, the device will still operate for a certain length of time.
If the BAT display text appears in the main display, the battery voltage is no longer adequate for operation of the device. The battery is fully depleted.

Changing battery
DANGER
Danger of explosion!
Using damaged or unsuitable batteries can generate heat, which can cause the batter-ies to crack and possibly explode!

Only use high-quality and suitable alkaline batteries

CAUTION
Damage!
If the batteries have different charge levels, leaks and thus damage to the device can occur.

Only use high-quality and suitable alkaline batteries!
Do not use different types of batteries!
Remove depleted batteries immediately and dispose of them at a suitable collection point.

NOTE
Unnecessary unscrewing endangers the protection against moisture and should therefore be avoided.

NOTE
Read the following handling instructions before replacing batteries and follow them step by step.
If disregarded, the device could be damaged or the protection from moisture could be diminished.

Unscrews the Phillips screws (A)and remove the cover.
Carefully replace the two Mignon AA batteries (B). Ensure that the polarity is correct! It must be possible to insert the batteries in the correct position without using force.
The O-ring (C) must be undamaged, clean and positioned at the intended depth.
Fit the cover (D) on evenly. The O-ring must remain at the intended depth!
Tighten the Phillips screws (A).
