Features

Selecting the Temperature Scale

Readings can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit by pressing the ºC/ºF key. The ºC or

ºF annunciator will illuminate on the display depending on which scale you have selected.

Adjustable Resolution

The resolution of the meter can be switched from 0.1º (up to 199.9) to 1º by pressing the

0.1º/1º key.

Max Hold

Max hold will freeze the highest recorded reading on the display. When the MAX key is

pressed the MAX icon will appear in the upper portion of the display. The display will

update every time there is a new maximum reading. Pressing MAX again will disengage

Max hold.

Backlit display

Press the Hold key for 2 seconds to toggle the Backlight ON and OFF. The backlight will

stay on until you press the Hold key for 2 seconds again, or turn the meter off.

Data Hold

The hold function freezes the displayed reading for later viewing. Press the HOLD key

momentarily to activate the Data Hold feature. Press again to exit the Hold mode.

Operation

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when voltages at the

measurement surface exceed 24VAC or DC.

Temperature Measurement

1. Plug a thermocouple into the T1 or T2 input jack.

2. Turn the function switch to the T1 or T2 position depending upon where the

thermocouple is physically connected per step 1 above.

3. Touch the temperature probe to the surface, liquid or gas being measured and

observe the reading on the display.

NOTE: Both T1 and T2 inputs can be used simultaneously, but only one reading can be

displayed at a time. Always move the rotary function switch to the OFF position

when the meter is not in use.

Temperature Calibration (Source)

NOTE: When calibrating temperatures over 199.9º you must change the resolution to

the 1º scale or the meter will display "OL"

1. Connect a thermocouple cable (Type J for Model 43211 or Type K for Model

43212) to output 1 or 2 at the top of the meter. These jacks have the same signal

available on both output 1 and output 2 terminals.

2. Connect the other end of the thermocouple cable to the instrument(s) to be

calibrated.

3. Using the range switch, coarse and fine adjustment knobs set the meter to the

desired output. See explanation below.

How to use the Range Switch and Coarse/Fine Adjustments

In addition to the T1, T2, and OFF positions, the Rotary switch has 7 output range positions

that move low to high (left to right) underneath the words Calibrator Output on the front panel

(also designated by the white strip over the Rotary switch).

1. Use the Rotary switch to find the closest range of the desired temperature output

2. Note that the meter outputs a mV signal corresponding to the temperature display

which can be routed to a panel meter, recorder, datalogger, controller, another

calibrator, etc.

3. Adjust the Coarse knob to dial in even closer to the desired output temperature

4. Finally, adjust the Fine knob for the exact temperature output

Maintenance

Cleaning and Storage

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives or

solvents. If the meter is not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the

battery and store it separately

Battery and Fuse replacement

1. Remove the protective rubber holster from the meter

2. The battery cover is held in place by two Philips head screws, both screws must be

removed in order to remove battery cover.

3. Remove and replace the 9V battery.

4. Replace compartment cover, screws and rubber holster.
