Measuring Temperature
Note:
Do not apply voltage to the test leads when
the meter is in temperature measuring mode.
1. Set the range selector to
o
C
o
F, the display
shows OL. Short circuit the test leads to show
the room temperature. The meter is default to
Celsius degree unit, you can change units by
press the BLUE button once you have selected
the temperature function.
2. Insert the point contact temperature probe into
the right hand pair of meter terminals.
3. Place the temperature probe onto the object
being measured.
4. The measured value shows on the display after
several seconds.
•
Nominal environmental temperature for using
the meter is 18
o
~23
o
otherwise a false reading
may be obtained especially in testing low temperatures.
•
The included point contact temperature probe can only be used with temperature
up to 230
o
C or 440
o
F.
•
When temperature measurement has been completed, disconnect the temperature
probe from the input terminals of the meter.
4~20mA loop current as % readout
•
This mode shows the mA measured value or
output level on a 4-20mA scale.
•
Connect the Meter as follows:
•
Set the range selector to mA
4-20mA % and
press BLUE button to select
(4-20mA)% option.
•
When the measured current is below 5A,
continuous measurement is allowed.
•
When the readings obtained is
<4mA: the primary display shows LO
at 4mA: the primary display shows 0%
at 20mA: the primary display shows 100%
>20mA: the primary display shows HI
•
When loop curent measurement has been
completed, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test and remove test
leads from the input terminals of the meter.
