Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your REED R2810 Thermocouple Calibrator.
Please read the following instructions carefully before using your
instrument. By following the steps outlined in this manual your meter will
provide years of reliable service.
Product Quality
This product has been manufactured to meet the stated product
specications. If a certicate of calibration is required please contact the
nearest authorized REED distributor or authorized Service Center. Please
note an additional fee for this service will apply.
Safety
Never attempt to repair or modify your instrument. Dismantling your
product, other than for the purpose of replacing batteries, may cause
damage that will not be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
Servicing should only be provided by an authorized service center. To
avoid injury to the user or damage to the instrument, please read the
safety information below before initial use:
• Donotoperatetheinstrumentaroundammableorexplosivegas,
vapor or dust.
• Neverapplymorethan30Vbetweenanytwoterminals,orbetweenany
terminal and ground terminal.
Note: For optimal accuracy, allow the instrument to warm up 5 minutes
before operating. If the automatic reference-junction temperature
compensation of the instrument deviates from its designed accuracy,
contact an Authorized REED Service Center.

Output Function
• TheoutputterminaloftheinstrumentcanproduceDCvoltagesorcan
simulate thermocouple temperature set by the user.
Do not apply any voltage to the output terminal during the operation.
If any improper voltage is applied to the output terminal, it will cause
damage to the internal circuit.
Simulating Output from DC Voltage
1. Insert one end of the test lead into
theoutput(OUTPUT)terminalofthe
meter and connect the other end to
the input terminal of the instrument
under test. See diagram on right.
2. Press the FUNC button to select the
VDCfunctionand'V'willappearon

3. Press the RANG button to select the
outputrangeof0.0000Vor00.00mV.
4. Press the button to select the set digits for output.
5. Press the button to change the numerical value of the set digits.
(Numericalvaluecannotbechangedbeyondthemaximumrange

6. Press the ZERO button and the output will be set to
00.00mVor0.0000V.
Simulating Output from Thermocouple (TC)
1. InsertoneendofthetestleadintotheOUTPUTterminalofthe
calibrator and connect the other end to the input terminal of the
instrument under test. See diagram above.
2. Press the INPUT/OUTPUT button to select the Output function.
3. Press the FUNC button to select Thermocouple output.

7. Automatic compensation for cold junction temperature.
Note: While calibrating an instrument with cold junction temperature
compensation, press the RJ-ON button so that the meter can start the
function of automatic cold junction compensation. The meter will output
the necessary temperature thermoelectric force, and display 'RJ-ON':
Output thermoelectric force = corresponding thermoelectric force
of set temperature – thermoelectric force of room temperature
