Note
Be sure to insert the banana-plug type-K temperature bead-probe Bkp60 with correct
polarities. Banana-pins to type-K socket adapter Bkb32 (Optional purchase) can
be used to accept other type-K probes using standard miniature plugs.
Temperature accuracies assume meter interior has the same temperature (isothermal
stage) of the ambient, particularly the plug of the probe being used, for a correct
junction voltage compensation. Allow the meter interior temperature to catch up with
that of the plug after a sudden change of measuring environment and hence the
ambient temperature. This can take up to an hour, for changes > 5°C, within a low
ventilated sturdy meter housing. The uncompensated temperature differences, if any,
will be reflected as offsets on the meter readings.
