Maximum
After turning on the TM100 shows the actual value of
input A.
TM100-x2 and TM100-o2:
Press keys (4) and (5)
respectively to show the corresponding value (the
selected input is named for a short moment).
To display the maximum acquired temperature since
last power up press key (6). The display returns to
normal temperature display after 3 seconds.
To reset the maximum temperature without power off
press keys (6) and (7) simultaneously (display reads
“CLr” for a short time).
Pressing key (6) twice displays the absolute maximum
temperature (ie. even after power off). Only
temperatures which have been read for several
minutes at least will be considered.
This value is also preserved when replacing batteries.
There it is an valuable indication in case of warranty
disputes (damage of kiln bricks etc.).
The current increase of temperature (gradient) is a
value of interest especially when firing gas kilns
manually The value is shown in centigrade Celsius per
hour positive (on increasing temperatures) or negative
when kiln temperature drops. Sudden changes in
temperatures (very large or very small gradient) are
shown as “overrun” or “underrun” (refer to section
“messages and displays)
The example on the left hand side is shown after
pressing key (7). “-87” means that the kiln temperature
will drop 87°C during the next hour assuming that the
current change in temperature continues. Accordingly
the temperature drops by 7°C during the next 5
minutes (87 / 60 * 5).
