Safety
Please read the safety information and operation instructions before operating this
instrument.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when voltages at the
measurement surface exceed 24V ac or 60V dc.
• To avoid electrical shock or personal injury, do not apply more than 20V ac rms,
between the thermocouples, or between any thermocouple and earth ground.
• If voltage on the measurement surface results in potentials of more than 1V,
measurement errors may occur.
• If a potential exists between the thermocouples, use electrically insulated
thermocouples
• To avoid meter damage and burn hazards, do not use this instrument to measure
temperature in a microwave oven.
• Avoid repeated sharp flexing of the thermocouple wire as this can cause
thermocouple lead breakage. To prolong lead life, avoid sharp bends in the leads,
especially near the connector.
• The meter can display temperature as high as 2501
o
F (1372
o
C), however, the
supplied thermocouple is rated for 500
o
F (260
o
C). To measure higher
temperatures, a high-temperature thermocouple (not supplied) must be used.
This symbol on the instrument indicates that the operator must refer to an
explanation in this manual.
