4.
When finished, release the Trigger; the symbol
H
will
appear and the ambient air temperature reading will hold
for 10 seconds.
Contact Thermocouple (Type-K) Temperature
Measurements
To avoid electrical shock or personal injury, do not connect
the external probe to live electrical circuits.
1. Plug the Type-K thermocouple sensor into the sub-miniature
jacks at the bottom of the instrument (one plug spade is wider
than the other).
2. Pull the trigger to power the meter. Hold the trigger to keep the meter
powered.
3.
Use the arrow buttons to select
the
K
(thermocouple)
mode
.
4. Hold the thermocouple in air or touch the tip of the thermocouple
to an
object’s surface. The thermocouple temperature measurement will be
displayed.
5.
When finished, release the Trigger; the symbol
H
will appear
and the thermocouple temperature reading will hold for 10
seconds.
Over-range Indicators (OL and -OL)
If the temperature measurement exceeds 1112°F (600°C), the
thermometer will display
OL
in place of a temperature reading. If the
temperature measurement is below -58°F (-50°C), the thermometer will
display
-OL
in place of a temperature reading.
Locating Hot or Cold Spots
To detect a hot or cold spot, aim the thermometer at a region beyond the
target and then scan the entire region in a slow, up/down motion. Aim the
laser pointer approximately a half inch below the point of test.
