INTRODUCTION

The TC0304 is a 4-channel digital thermometer for use with any K-type thermocouple as a temperature sensor. Temperature indication follows the National Bureau of Standards and IEC584 temperature/voltage table for K-type thermocouples. It uses an RS232 interface to perform bi-directional communication with PC.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Date and Time must be set correctly for the data logger function to work.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

POWER˝UP & TURN ON/OFF THE BACKLIGHT

The key turns the Thermometer ON or OFF and the backlight ON & OFF. Press it once to turn on the Thermometer. Press it again for a moment to turn ON or OFF the backlight. Press and hold this button 3 seconds to turn OFF the power.

CONNECTING THE THERMOCOUPLES

For measurement, plug the thermocouple into the input connectors.

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE SCALE

When the meter was powered on, the user may change it to Fahrenheit (°F) by pressing the “ °C/°F ” button and vice versa to Celsius.

DATA˝HOLD OPERATION

The user may hold the present reading and keep it on the display by pressing the “HOLD” button. When the held data is no longer needed, one may release the data-hold operation by pressing the “HOLD” button again. When the meter is under Data Hold operation, the “▲REL”, “MAX MIN”, “T1-T2”, and “°C/°F” buttons are disabled. (when you press “▲ REL”, “ °C/°F ”, “T1-T2” and “MAX MIN” buttons in HOLD mode, there will be two continuous beeps)

T1˝T2 OPERATION
When this button is pushed, “1 – 2 ” will be shown on the upper right-hand side LCD display to indicate that the tester is under T1 minus T2 mode. The temperature difference is shown on the right-hand side display as shown in Fig.

RELATIVE OPERATION

When pressing the “▲REL” button, the meter will memorize the present reading and the difference between the new reading and the memorized data will be shown on the display. Press the “▲REL” button again to exit the Relative operation. When the meter is under relative operation, the “°C/°F” button is disabled. (When you press the “°C/°F” button in relative mode, there will be two continuous beeps)

MAX/MIN OPERATION

When pressing the “MAX MIN” button the meter will enter the MAX/MIN mode. Under this model, the maximum value and minimum value are kept in the memory simultaneously and updated with every new sample of data. When the MAX symbol is displayed, the Maximum is shown on the display. Press “MAX MIN” again, then the MIN symbol is on the display and also the minimum reading. Press “MAX MIN” again, MAX, and MIN will blink together. This means that all these data is updated in the memory and the reading is the present temperature. One may press “MAX MIN” to circulate the display mode among these options. When the meter is under “MAX MIN” operation and “ °C/°F ”, the “▲REL” button is disabled.(when you press the “ °C/°F ”, “▲REL” button in “MAX MIN” mode, there will be two continuous beeps) To exit the MAX/MIN mode, one may press and hold “MAX MIN” for two seconds.

AUTO POWER OFF

By default, when the meter is powered on, it is under auto power-off mode. The meter will power itself off after 30 minutes if no key operation and no RS232 communication combination at power-on can disable auto power off. One may press and hold the “HOLD” button and then power on the meter and there will be two successive beeps to indicate that auto power-off is disabled and will not show up.

LOW BATTERY CONDITION
When the battery voltage is under proper operation requirement, the symbol will show on the LCD and the battery needs to be replaced with a new one.

CALIBRATION POINT

input Adjust VR Tolerance
0 °C VR1 ± 0.1 °C
190 °C VR2 ± 0.1 °C
1000 °C VR3 ± 1 °C
1900 °F VR4 ± 1 °F

P.S Normally, performing offset Calibration with thermal stabled ice water through VR1 will give a very good calibration result.

DIGITAL OUTPUT

  • The Digital Output is a 9600bps N 81 serial interface.
  • The RX is a 5V normal high input port.
  • The TX is a 5V normal high output port.PerfectPrime -TC0304 -Datalogger -Thermometer -6
