Measuring Temperature
Measuring tips:
– Clean the measurement
surface and remember to
disable the applied power.
– When measuring
temperature, move the
thermocouple along the
surface until you get the
highest/lowest temperature
reading.
– For quick measurement, use
the 0 °C compensation to see
the temperature variation of
the thermocouple sensor. The
0 °C compensation assists you
in measuring relative
temperature.
If you are working in a varied environment, where ambient temperature is not
constant, do the following:
1 Press for more than one second to enable 0 °C compensation. This
function allows a quick measurement of the relative temperature.
2 Avoid contact between the thermocouple probe and the measurement surface.
3 After a constant reading is obtained, press to set the reading as the
relative reference temperature.
4 Touch the measurement surface with the thermocouple probe.
5 Read the display for the relative temperature.
CAUTION
– Do not bend the thermocouple leads at sharp angles. Repeated bending
over a period of time can break the leads.
– Do not contact the temperature sensor to any surface that has an energized
voltage or current source, such sources will pose a shock hazard.
