5. Using The Meter
5.1 Connecting Thermocouple
1. Insert the thermocouple to input jack
2. Press the power key to turn on the
thermometer power
3. Set the thermocouple type to be consistent
with the inserted thermocouple type
Note: If the thermocouple is not connected to
the selected input end or the thermocouple is
“open”, or when it exceeds measuring range,
“OL” will show on the thermometer.
5.2 Displaying Temperature
1. Press °C/°F/K key to select appropriate
temperature unit
2. Put the thermocouple to the testing position
3. Measurement results will display on the screen
5.3 Data Hold
1. Press HOLD to keep reading on the screen.
“
” will show on the screen
2. Press HOLD key again to close “HOLD” function
and restore measurement state.
5.4 Viewing MAX, MIN and AVG Readings
1. Press MAX/MIN/AVG key to view MAX, MIN
and AVG readings.
2. Hold MAX/MIN/AVG key to exit MAX/MIN/AVG
view mode
5.5
Use offset Value To Adjust
Temperature Probe Error
Use OFFSET (T1) and OFFSET (T2) in the SETUP
option to adjust the thermometer readings to
compensate for a certain kind of thermocouple error.
1. Put the thermocouple in a known and stable
temperature environment (such as in ice bath or
dry well calibrator)
2. Stabilize the temperature reading
3. Under the SETUP option, adjust OFFSET value
until the temperature reading on the auxiliary
display is consistent with the calibrated
temperature (see “SETUP Option Setting”).
5.6
User Self-Calibration
After users enter calibration mode, the meter can
be calibrated. Calibration points and calibration
methods are shown here:
1. Calibration point:
a) Normal Temperature 25°C
b)
T1 input channel, 0μV and 40.000mV
c)
T2 input channel, 0μV and 40.000mV (only for
KPS-TM320 and KPS-TM340)
2. Calibration methods:
a) Put the thermometer into a thermotank with
the temperature of 25°C for 3 to 5 minutes.
b) Power on the thermometer to stabilize the
thermometer.
c) Set self-calibration (CAL) to ON state in the
“SETUP” setting option, and exit setting state.
It will return to the calibration state.
d) Adjust the screen temperature with
keys
until the temperature is consistent with the
thermotank.
