OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 POWER-UP
Press the key to turn the thermometer On or OFF.

4.2 CONNECTING THE THERMOCOUPLES
For measurement, plug the thermocouple into the input connectors.

4.3 SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE SCALE
When the meter was first powered on, the default scale setting is set at Celsius (°C) scale. The user may change it to Fahrenheit (°F) by pressing “ °C/°F ” button and vice versa to Celsius.

4.4 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 “HOLD” button again. When the meter is under Data Hold operation, the “▲REL” , and “ °C/°F ” button are disabled.

4.5 T1,T2,T1-T2 DISPLAY CONTROL
One may select T1,T2 or T1-T2 to show on the main display by pressing button. When T1 or T2 is select to show on the main display, the other temperature will be shown on the second display. When one select T1-T2 to show on the main display, T1 and T2 will be shown on the second display alternately.

4.6 RELATIVE OPERATION FOR MAIN DISPLAY
When one press the “▲REL” button, the meter will memorize the present reading and the difierence between the new reading and the memorized data will be shown on the display. Press the “▲REL” button again to exit the Relative operation.

4.7 MAX/MIN/AVG OPERATION FOR MAIN DISPLAY
When one presses the button the meter will enter the MAX/MIN mode. Under this mode the maximum value, minimum value and average value of latest 8 data is kept in the memory simultaneously and updated with every new data.
When the MAX symbol is display, the Maximum is shown on the display.
Press again, then the MIN symbol is on the display and also the minimum reading.
Press again, the AVG symbol is on the display and also the average reading.
Press again, MAX, MIN and AVG will blink together. This means that all these data is updated in the memory and the reading is the present temperature.
One may press to circulate the display mode among these options.
When the meter is under operation, “▲REL” and “ °C/°F ” are disabled.
To exit the MAX/MIN mode, one may press and hold for two seconds.

4.8 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 or RS232 communication. Key combination at power on or RS232 communication can disable auto power off. One may press and hold “HOLD” button and then power on the meter and there will be two successive beeps to indicate that auto power off is disabled.

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

4.10 CALIBRATION POINT
Room Temperature 23 ± 3°C

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

4.11 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.
The command of Digital Output is list below.

( where □ represent space (ASC(20H) )

For example:
T1□□□□□□-199.9□□C□□□□
(0x13) represent T1,- 199.9°C, The total byte number should be 7+1+7+1+5+chr(13)=22Bytes
