Operating instruction

The unit complies

with the corresponding
EC guidelines.

1 PURPOSE AND CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES
Modern and very user-friendly instrument for the measure-
ment of temperature and of temperature differences at four
different points.
- Two different demonstrative 4 digit LED displays (with
sign and floating decimal point), with a digit height of 20
mm for exhibiting the values measured at the chosen
points.
- Tare function (sets 0.00) with a 10 times better resolu-
tion over a wide range on each side of the newly set
zero point.
- Automatic compensation of probe differences with an
adjust function.
- Switchable between oC and K; temperature differences
and tared values are automatically displayed in K.

- RS 232 interface for the simultaneous presentation and
evaluation of the values measured at all four points in
a computer.
- Switchable recorder output to transfer the measured
values from one of the two digital displays to a tY re-
corder.
- Clear indication of status by means of red LEDs (upper
digital display) or green LEDs (lower digital display).
- Extremely precise Pt 100 measuring probes with four-
conductor technology (measuring range -50oC... +
300oC).

- Measurement of temperature differences between any

two probes.

2 FUNCTIONAL AND OPERATING ELEMENTS 7.
1. Connectors for the temperature measuring probes
5-pole diode sockets for the connection of a maximum
of 4 measuring probes (Pt 100, four-conductor techno-
logy)
2. Light-emitting diode display for the upper and lower
digital displays 8.
The lighting up of a single LED indicates that the tem-
perature that this probe is measuring is shown in the
upper digital display (red LEC) or lower digital display
(green LEC). When two red or two green LEDs light up,
the corresponding temperature difference is displayed. 9.
3. Upper and lower digital displays
4 digit, 20 mm high LED displays with sign and floating
decimal point, to show measured temperature values
or temperature differences. 10.
4. Light-emitting diode display for the units
Display of the unit, °C or K, which has been selected
with push-button 6. Red light-emitting diodes indicate
the upper digital display and green light-emitting diodes
the lower digital display on the front plate.
5. Push-buttons for choice of measuring probes T1...4 11.
Pressing these buttons determines from which measu-
ring probes the temperatures or temperature differen-
ces are called up and displayed in the upper and lower
digital displays.
6. Push-buttons for switching between °C and K 12.
Pressing these buttons causes a switch over in units in
the upper or lower digital display. Displays of tempera-
ture differences (push-button 7) and tared values 13.
(push-button 8) are automatically switched to K.

Push-buttons for temperature difference ∆T
Pressing these buttons enables the upper or lower di-
gital displays respectively to be set to temperature dif-
ference. The two measuring points are denoted by two
red or two green light-emitting diodes and can be chan-
ged with push-button 5.
Push-buttons for taring, SET 0.00
By pressing these buttons, the upper or lower digital
display can be respectively tared (set to 0). This is ac-
companied by a tenfold better resolution and depiction
in K.
Recorder output
4 mm safety sockets for the transfer of the measured
values from one of the two digital displays to a tY re-
corder (switch-over is with push-button 10)
Push-button recorder output
Pushing this button switches from the upper to the
lower digital display or back again. The red light-emit-
ting diode signals the output of the measured values
from the upper digital display, the green light-emitting
diode the output from the upper digital display.
Push-button Adjust
This allows differences between the probes to be equa-
lized. Such a condition is shown by the lighting up of a
yellow light-emitting diode, and can be remedied by re-
peated pressing of the button.
Socket with fuse box and on/off switch
For connection to the mains using the connecting cord
supplied and for switching the instrument on or off.
RS 232 interface
SUB-D-sockets for connection of the instrument to the
serial port of a computer by means of the RS 232 data
cable 14602.00.

3.4 Special functions

The tare function SET 0.00 enables the measured value in
the display to be saved and set to zero. From then on, the
change of temperature over time at this measuring point is
shown as difference between the reference value and the
momentary temperature. In this mode of operation, the re-
solution is tenfold better (0.01 K). The measuring range is
50.00 K (in relation to the reference value), and 99.99 is di-
played when this range is exceeded. The display is always
in K, and cannot be switched over to oC.
Temperature measuring probes can indicate different tem-
peratures in the same medium. The probes recommended
under “Accessories” display for 100oC, for example, 99.4oC
or 100.6oC as upper and lower worst cases. Such differen-
ces in the probes can be equalized by use of push-button
11 (Adjust). The condition is indicated by a yellow light-emit-
ting diode and can be remedied by repeated pressing of the
push-button. The working range of the Adjust function is
5oC.
