TRACEABLE® WIDE RANGE THERMOMETER INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIFICATIONS
Thermocouple: Type-K
Range: –328 to 2498 °F / –200 to 1370 °C
Resolution: 0.1° from -328 to 990°F/-200 to 640°C
1° from 990 to 2498°F / 640 to 1370°C
Accuracy: ±1° C
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
- Insert the probe plug into the socket at the top of the meter. The plug and sockets are keyed with a small and large pin. Make certain that the plug is inserted correctly. Do not insert the plug incorrectly and force the connection.
- Press the button to turn the meter on.
- Press the button to select °F or °C.
- Place the probe in contact with the material to be measured and read the temperature on the display.
- Press the button again to turn the meter off. To conserve battery life, always turn off the meter when not in use.
After 20 minutes, the meter will automatically turn off to preserve battery life. To disable this feature, see the “Automatic Shutoff Disable/Enable” section.
DATA HOLD FUNCTION
To “freeze” the display at the current temperature reading, press, and release
the button (“HOLD” will appear at the top of the display).
Note: While in this mode, pressing the button will have no affect and
will not change the display.
Press and release the button a second time to return to current temperature
display (“HOLD” will no longer appear on the display).
MEMORY RECORD MODE
Press the button to activate the Record mode and start the timer (“REC” will
appear on the display).
While in the Record mode, the meter will record the minimum and maximum
temperature readings achieved along with the relative time (count-up time)
that the minimum and maximum were achieved.
Note: While in this mode, pressing the button will have no affect and
will not change the display.
Note: If the Automatic Shutoff feature has not been disabled, the meter
will turn off automatically after 20 minutes. For long term monitoring,
disable the Automatic Shutoff feature. (See the “Automatic Shutoff Disable”
section.).
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to exit the Record mode (“REC” will no
longer appear on the display).
The minimum and maximum temperature recordings are automatically cleared once
the Record mode has been exited.
MEMORY RECALL
- While in the Record mode, press the button to display the maximum temperature and relative time (count-up time) that the maximum temperature was achieved. (“MAX” will appear on the display.)
- Press the button a second time to display the minimum temperature and relative time (count-up time) that the minimum temperature was achieved. (“MIN” will appear on the display.)
- Press the button a third time to return to the current temperature display and relative time (count-up time).
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF DISABLE
The Automatic Shutoff feature will turn the meter off after 20 minutes to
preserve battery life. This feature is automatically enabled each time the
meter is powered on, regardless of whether the feature was disabled
previously.
To disable the Automatic Shutoff feature:
While the meter is turned off, press and hold the button, then press and
release the button. Continue to press and hold the button while the meter
turns on. Once “n” appears on the display (indicating that the Automatic
Shutoff feature has been disabled), release the button. The meter will then
display the current temperature.
With the Automatic Shutoff feature disabled, the meter will remain on until
the button is pressed, or until the battery is fully drained.
RELATIVE MEASUREMENT MODE
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to activate the relative measurement
mode (“REL” will appear on the display. When the relative measurement mode is
activated, the display will show the “relative zero” based on the temperature
that was being measured when the mode was entered. The display will then
indicate the temperature difference from the “relative zero” value.
Example-If the temperature being measured is 25.0 °C when the relative
measurement mode is entered, the meter will set 25.0 °C as the “relative zero”
and the display will show 0.0 °C as long as the temperature being measured is
25.0 °C. If the temperature rises to 27.5 °C, the display will show 2.5 °C. If
the temperature falls to 20.0 °C, the display will show -5.0 °C.
Note: While in this mode, pressing the button will have no affect and
will not change the display.
To exit the relative measurement mode, press and release the button (“REL”
will no longer appear on the display.)
MEMORY RECORD – RELATIVE MEASUREMENT
While in the relative measurement mode, press the button to activate the
Record mode and start the timer (“REC” will appear on the display).
While in the Record mode during relative measurement, the meter will record
the minimum and maximum temperature difference from the “relative zero” value
achieved along with the relative time (count-up time) that the minimum and
maximum were achieved.
Note: If the Automatic Shutoff feature has not been disabled, the meter
will turn off automatically after 20 minutes. For long term monitoring,
disable the Automatic Shutoff feature. (See the “Automatic Shutoff
Disable/Enable” section.).
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to exit the Record mode (“REC” will no
longer appear on the display).
The minimum and maximum temperature recordings are automatically cleared once
the Record mode has been exited.
MEMORY RECALL – RELATIVE MEASUREMENT
- While in the Record mode during relative measurement, press the button to display the maximum temperature difference and relative time (count-up time) that the maximum temperature difference was achieved. (“MAX” will appear on the display.)
- Press the button a second time to display the minimum temperature difference and relative time (count-up time) that the minimum temperature difference was achieved. (“MIN” will appear on the display.)
- Press the button a third time to return to the current relative temperature display and relative time (count-up time).
COUNT-UP TIMER
The count-up timer feature offers a relative time reference while taking
temperature measurements.
To turn on the count-up timer and begin timing, press the button.
To stop timing and turn off the count-up timer, press the button a second
time.
BACKLIGHT
Press the button to turn on the display backlight when in dim or dark conditions. The light will automatically turn of after 30 seconds to preserve battery life.
THERMOCOUPLES
The meter is supplied with a Type-K thermocouple but is also able to accept
Type-J and Type-T thermocouples.
Thermocouple range:
Type-J = -328 to 940°F/-200 to 760°C
Type-T = -328 to 730°F/-200 to 390°C
To change the thermocouple type:
- While the meter is turned off, press and hold the button, then press and release the button. Continue to press and hold the button while the meter turns on. Once the display appears with only “K”, “J”, or “T”, release the button.
- Press the button to select the desired thermocouple type (K, J, or T).
- With the desired thermocouple type on the display, press the button. “S” will momentarily appear on the display indicating that the setting has been saved and the meter will then display the current temperature.
RS-232 PC INTERFACE
The meter features an RS-232 output which allows data to be exported to a computer or data logger in real-time via the accessory data acquisition software. (See the “Accessories” section.)
DISPLAY MESSAGES
“BAT” appearing on the display indicates that the battery is low and needs replacement (see the “Battery Replacement” section) “—” appearing on the display indicates that no probe is plugged into the meter, or the probe is damaged.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this meter does not function properly for any reason, please replace the battery with a new, high-quality battery (see the “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational difficulties. Replacing the battery with a new fresh battery will solve most difficulties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
An erratic display, faint display, no display, or “BAT” appearing on the display are all indicators that the battery needs replacement. To replace the battery, remove the battery cover screw (located on the back of the meter). Remove the battery cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrow. Remove the exhausted battery and replace it with a new 9-volt alkaline battery. Replace the battery cover. Replace the battery cover screw and tighten securely.
