Note: As long as the MIN MAX AVG function is activated, you cannot enter the menu.

6.1 Change type of thermocouple
If the connected type of thermocouple is different from the type shown in the lower left-hand side of the display, the meter’s thermocouple setting must be changed accordingly. To do so, enter settings mode and change the type as required. Thermocouples of the types K and J can be connected.

6.2 Set offset
When the accuracy is outside the specifications, an offset can be carried out. The possible range for the offset is ±5.0 °C / ±9.0 °F. To be able to set the offset, first connect the meter to the thermocouples. Then place the thermocouples into a liquid of known temperature, for instance ice water. Now wait for the displayed reading to stabilise. Then go to the settings and change the offset until the displayed reading equals the value of the reference liquid. Offsets must be set for each channel individually.

6.3 Automatic Power Off
The meter has an automatic power off function. This means that the meter turns off automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity. To disable this function temporarily, enter the settings. In the menu item “SLP”, you can disable this function. ON = enabled, OFF = diabled Note: Everytime the meter is powered on, this function will be enabled automatically.

7 Thermocouples
If you want to use thermocouples, connect these via the connectors at the upper side of the meter. Observe correct polarity. Now power on the meter. After approx. a second, a reading will be displayed. If no thermocouple is attached for a channel, “- – – -“ will be displayed. When the reading is exceeded, “OL” will be displayed.

With the key, you can select T1, T2 or T1 T2 to be shown in the primary or secondary display. Note: Ensure that you have set the correct type of thermocouple. The type of thermocouple can be changed in the settings. The current thermocouple is shown in the lower left-hand part of the display.

8 Hold reading

To hold the currently displayed reading, press the key during the measurement. “HOLD” will

be displayed. While “HOLD” is displayed, the

key will be active. To continue the

measurement, press the key again.

9 MIN / MAX / AVG

The temperature meter has the following measuring functions:

Name Description

MIN

Shows the lowest reading

MAX

Shows the highest reading

AVG

Shows the average value

To activate one of these functions, press the key. “REC” will appear in the display along with the function you set. The current reading will only be shown in the primary display now. In the secondary display, the respective value of the measuring function will be displayed. At the same time, the measurement period will start, which will show you when the value has been determined. You can switch between the different measuring functions at any time. All values are determined

continuously. To leave this function, press and hold the key for three seconds. Note: After leaving this measuring function or when the meter is turned off, the saved readings will be lost.
