Measuring Temperature
Set up your multimeter to measure temperature as shown in
Figure 2- 19. Probe the test points and read the display.
Figure 2-18 Temperature display
Press to change the temperature units between °C or
°F (you must first change the temperature unit from °C only
to °C°F or °F°C). See “Changing the temperature unit” on
page 99 for more information.
WARNING
Do not connect the thermocouple to electrically live circuits. Doing
so will potentially cause fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not bend the thermocouple leads at sharp angles. Repeated
bending over a period of time can break the leads.
NOTE
• The multimeter uses a type-K (default setting) temperature probe for
measuring temperature.
• The approximate ambient temperature (cold-junction compensation) is
shown on the display when you have an open thermocouple. The open
thermocouple message may be due to a broken (open) probe or
because no probe is installed into the input jacks of the multimeter.
