Measuring Temperature
The bead type thermocouple probe is suitable for measuring temperature from
–40 °C to 204 °C in PTFE compatible environments. Above this temperature range,
probes may emit toxic gas. Do not immerse the thermocouple probe in any liquid.
For best results, use a thermocouple probe designed for each specific
application — an immersion probe for liquid or gel, and an air probe for air
measurements. Observe the following measurement techniques:
– Clean the surface to be measured and make sure that the probe is securely
touching the surface. Remember to disable the applied power.
– When measuring above the ambient temperature, move the thermocouple
along the surface until you get the highest temperature reading.
– When measuring below the ambient temperature, move the thermocouple
along the surface until you get the lowest temperature reading.
– Always set the slide switch to the
M
position (meter operation only). Place the
instrument in the operating environment for at least one hour as the
instrument is using a non-compensation transfer adapter with miniature
thermal probe. If you are using the type of thermocouple probe where the
thermal wires penetrate into the banana or lantern terminals, you only need to
place the instrument in the operating environment for at least 15 minutes.
– For quick measurements, use the 0 °C compensation to observe the
temperature variation of the thermocouple sensor. The 0 °C compensation
makes it possible for you to measure the relative temperature immediately.
To measure temperature, follow these steps:
1
Set the slide switch to the
M
position to disable the output.
2
Turn the rotary switch to the
position.
3
Press and hold
for more than 1 second to select temperature measurement.
4
Plug the thermocouple adapter (with the thermocouple probe connected to it)
into the positive and negative input terminals (
CAUTION
Do not bend the thermocouple leads at sharp angles. Repeated bending
over a period of time may break the leads.
