WARNING Do not touch a temperature probe sheath when measuring excessively high or low temperatures, or toxic substances. WARNING Do not attempt to measure temperatures beyond the range of the probe being used. Probe damage or personal injury could result from exceeding a probe's maximum temperature rating. WARNING The American National Safety[...]

CAUTION Keep inputs electrically isolated from outputs. Do not con- nect an external voltage source between the two connectors, and avoid any external electrical pathways between input and output (T2 & T1). Failure to do so will disturb meter readings and calibrator output levels. Damage to the instrument is also possible. Where the meter and c[...]

2. Remove the old battery by lifting the battery extractor loop. 3. Place the new battery in the battery compartment. Be sure to observe proper polarity. 4. Re-install the battery cover before resuming use of the instrument. NOTES: • Less than 10% of battery life remains when the BAT annuncia- tor turns on. • When the battery is excessively dis[...]

If the unit is turning on for the first time after a new battery is installed, it will automatically default to the METER mode (ie. temperature measurement operation). It also defaults to K-type thermocouples, and °F readings with 0.1° resolution. The corresponding LCD annunciators are enabled: 12 Figure 3. Display Test Figure 2. Keypad[...]

METER: (unit functioning as a thermometer) K: (K-type thermocouple) °F: (Fahrenheit readings) OPR: (Instrument is operational) If no input thermocouple is connected to the unit at this time, the numeric segments will indicate "OPEN". Plugging a thermocouple into the meter jack (connector T2, on the top right side) will give actual thermo[...]

15 Lead resistance errors are compensated for in 3-wire configurations. However full compensation requires equal resistance in each lead. This configuration is common with 100-ohm RTDs. In 4-wire configurations, accuracy is unaffected by lead resistance, and resistance differences between leads. NOTE: These instruments measure input voltages on all[...]

To Save Readings: 1. While in the METER OPR mode, depress the STORE key. Note that the OPR annunciator is replaced by STO. 2. Next depress one of the memory location numbers (keys 0, 1, . . ., 9). The corresponding memory annunciator turns on and the meter returns momentarily to the OPR mode, displaying thermocouple temperature. eg. STORE 7 NOTES: [...]

All active location annunciators will turn on again, together with the OPR annunciator. NOTE: Recalling data from unused (ie, empty) locations will give a zero reading. To Erase Data Locations (Meter Mode): 1. In[...]

8. STORAGE AND RECALL OF CALIBRATOR SETTINGS While operating as a calibrator, the unit can store and recall up to 10 output settings (each with independent parameters, eg. °F/°C, sensor type, and res- olution) in random access memory. To Store Outputs: 1. While in the CALIB OPR mode, depress the STORE key. Note that the OPR annunciator is replace[...]

To Recall Outputs: 1. While in the CALIB OPR mode, set-ups saved earlier in memory can be recalled to program the calibrator output. First depress the RECALL key to recall a set-up. 1. Note that the RCL annunciator turns on, OPR turns off, and all memory locations annunciators are blanked. 2. Next hit the key with the number corresponding to the de[...]

9. STEP FUNCTION When operating in the CALIBRATOR mode, the STEP key will sequentially recall data stored in memory (up to 10 steps). At each step, the calibrator will display and output these parameters. The STEP function is non-functional in METER mode. 10. RAMP FUNCTION: CL25 and CL27 This feature, available only on Models CL25 and CL27, allows [...]
