5.3 Temperature Measurement: Temp RTD and Temp TC
Temperature measurement is performed with a Pt100 or Pt1000
resistance thermometer, or a type K thermocouple (accessory,
not included), which is connected to the voltage input.

5.3.1 Measurement with Resistance Thermometers
Ð Set the rotary switch to “Temp
RTD
”.
Press the FUNC | ENTER key in order to change to the other mea-
suring function if required.
The sensor type, i.e. Pt100 or Pt1000, is detected automatically
and displayed.
There are two different ways to compensate for cable resistance:
Automatic Compensation
Ð Acknowledge by pressing the ZERO | ESC key.
“Short leads” appears at the display.
If you prefer to enter cable resistance directly, you can skip the
following entry prompt.
Ð Short circuit the measuring instrument’s connector cables.
“000.0” appears at the display. After pressing the FUNC | ENTER
key, automatic compensation of cable resistance is
activated for all subsequent measurements. The short-circuit
can now be eliminated, and the device is ready for use.
Enter Cable Resistance
Ð Press the ZERO | ESC key once again in the automatic
compensation menu.
Ð Enter the known resistance of the connector cables with the
scroll keys:
Select the digit to be changed with the
 keys, and change
the respectively selected digit with the keys. The default
value is 0.43 . Values can be selected within a range of 0 to
50 .
Ð Upon pressing the FUNC | ENTER key, the selected value is acti-
vated and the display is returned to the measuring function.
Cable resistance remains in memory even after the instrument
has been switched off.
