MEASURING TEMPERATURE
1. Set the function switch to
°C °F
position. Then press the
button to select between °C and °F.
2. Connect the
negative (-)
plug of the K type thermocouple
to the
COM
terminal and the
positive (+)
plug of the K
type thermocouple to the
VΩmAHz
terminal.
3. Connect the sensing end of the thermocouple to the
object to be measured.
4. Wait until the reading is stable, then read the screen.
Note:
1. When the measured temperature exceeds 1000°C
(1832°F) the screen will show OL.
2. To avoid possible damage to the meter or other
equipment, remember that while the meter is rated for -
20°C to +1000°C and -4°F to 1832°F, the K Type
Thermocouple provided with the meter is rated to 250°C.
For temperatures out of that range, use a higher rated
thermocouple. The K Type Thermocouple provided with
the meter is a present, it is not professional and can only be used for non-critical reference
measurements. For accurate measurements, use a professional thermocouple.
MEASURING RPM
1. Set the function switch to
RPM
position.
2. If the engine to be tested is a 2-stroke engine, press the
button until the symbol
appears on
the upper area of the screen.
3. If the engine to be tested is a 4-stroke engine, press the
button until the symbol
appears on
the upper area of the screen.
4. Connect the negative (black) output plug of the inductive pick up to the COM terminal and the positive
(red) output plug of the inductive pick up to the
VΩmAHz
terminal.
5. Clamp the inductive pick up to a spark plug wire with the
arrow mark on the inductive pick up pointing to the spark
plug. Make sure that the pick up jaws are completely
closed.
6. Start the engine and read the reading on the screen.
Note:
1. The input voltage must be between 2Vp and 50Vp. If the
voltage is too low, it will be impossible to make
measurement.
2. If the engine's rotation speed is too low, the stability of
reading will decrease.
3. The polarity of the input voltage must be correct;
otherwise it will be impossible to make measurement.
4. The inductive pick up will become hot and the reading will
become unstable after the measurement lasts for a period
of time; in this condition, remove the inductive pick up
from the spark plug wire to stop the measurement and
wait until the inductive pick up cools down, then you can
resume the measurement.
