Temperature measurements
WARNING:
Do not realise measurements if the battery compartment is
open.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from
any source of voltage before making a temperature meas-
urement.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has been
removed before changing to another measurement function.
In order to realise temperature measurement it is necessary to
realise the following actions:
•
place the rotational selector in the position °C or °F,
•
insert the temperature probe into the negative COM and the
V/
Ω
/TEMP terminals, making sure to observe the correct po-
larity,
•
touch the temperature probe head to the part whose tempera-
ture you wish to measure, keep the probe touching the part
under test until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds),
•
read the temperature in the display, the digital reading will in-
dicate the proper decimal point and value,
•
having done the measurement disconnect the test leads from
the meter.
