POWER 

The KT6 operates on AC power with an optional 4AA battery backup.  Depending on chart 
rotation selected and model; battery backup will last approximately 3 days. 
 

Note:  Alarm and relays will not operate under battery only power. 
 
LED Indicators 

• AC Power with Battery Backup - Solid Green 
• AC Power with Low Battery or No Battery - Blinks Red 
• Battery Only - Blinks Green 
• Battery Only (Low Battery) - Solid Red 

 

PEN HOME ADJUST 
If over time the pen location does not match the display, you may need to adjust the pen location 
on the chart.  A Pen Home Adjustment will not affect calibration of the sensor, but rather corrects 
for the natural drift that occurs with mechanical moving parts over time. 

 

1.

 

While the unit is on, press and hold both Pen Home and On/Off buttons until the LED is 
solid green.   Release the Pen Home and On/Off buttons. The LED will flash amber and 
green for one second then the LED will turn off. 

Note:  Press Pen Home first so the unit will not turn off 
 

2.

 

The pen will move to the outer edge of the chart, and then the red pen will move to the 

outer chart ring (maximum temperature line).   
 

3.

 

If the red pen tip does not line up with the outer chart ring, use the Adjust-Up and Adjust- 

Down buttons (on the back of the unit) to move the red pen so that the pen tip is on top 
of the outer chart ring. 

 

4.

 

Once set press On/Off to save and exit Pen Home Adjust.   

 
Note: Pressing the On/Off button will exit the adjustment and return the unit to normal operation. 
Each time the Pen Home or On/Off button is pressed, the adjustment currently in progress will be 

stored. The unit will take one minute to exit Pen Adjust Mode once the On/Off button is pressed. 
 
 

 
 
 

 
CALIBRATION 

The R400 Replaceable Sensor was carefully tested and calibrated before being shipped 
from the factory. For greatest accuracy, we recommend replacing the sensor every 6-12 
months.
