Installation and commissioning of DiTemp LCK
ª
Select the installation location in accordance with the technical data.
When measuring high media temperatures it is possible that the ambient temperature at
the thermometer housing will exceed the permissible maximum value (+60 °C). This may
damage the measuring device.
ª
The DiTemp LCK functions irrespective of its installation position. Install the thermometer
with a minimum sensor immersion depth of 20 mm in the medium to be measured.
ª
The LCD segment has been optimised to a so-called 6 o’clock viewing angle. The best
display contrast is achieved if the viewing direction is from the front and below the normal.
Commissioning:
Commissioning of the device is not necessary. It is inspected before delivery and can be
used immediately. The current temperature of the sensor is displayed.
Measurement cycle:
The measurement cycle of the device is 6 s.
Reference measurement:
The device automatically carries out an internal alignment at a reference resistor bevor each
measurement. This ensures constant accuracy of the measured value.
4 Display
The DiTemp LCK has a 3½-digit digital display. The microprocessor of the device perma-
nently checks the plausibility of the sensor signal. The exact temperature value can be read
from the digital display.
Error messages:
In the event of an error, the result is provided at the digital display:
•
SEn
Sensor error:
The sensor or the supply line are defective. If the device needs repair, it must be returned
to the manufacturer.
Display contrast / battery status:
Weak display contrast is a sign that the batteries are nearly exhausted. The device switches
off automatically when the remaining battery voltage drops below the level necessary for ac-
curate temperature measurements.
In this case the batteries must be replaced. (
