4.3.9 Temperature Measurement (TEMP)
CAUTION
To avoid damage to instrument
Turn off the power to the circuit under test before starting measurement in
order to prevent any excessive voltage from being applied to the instrument.
Note
Optional Temperature probe is required for temperature measurement.
Temperature Probe: Thermocouple Type K
Model: 8405, 8406, 8407, 8408
Check the measurable range of respective probes.
1) Turn the function switch to the “ TEMP ” position.
2) Plug the measuring probe into the input terminals.

Carry out the following setting procedure to display “ ºF ”.
While pressing the SELECT, RANGE and HOLD keys simultaneously, turn the function switch
to the “ TEMP ” position. Then, upon pressing the SELECT key, the temperature unit switches
from ºC to ºF.
Once the temperature is displayed in ºF, press the SELECT key to alternately switch the
temperature units between ºF and ºC.
The conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit is performed using the equation
Fahrenheittemperature=1.8×Celsiustemperature+32
