1. INTRODUCTION This versatile hand-held instrument provides highly accurate temperature measurements. The instrument is designed for easy operation and includes the following features: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Menu driven setup and operation Datalogging for up to 2000 points USB output Operator selection of Celsius or Fahrenheit scale Resolution of up to 0.
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: 1. This instrument is designed to accept low level signals supplied by standard RTDs. Under NO circumstances should the input voltage exceed the specified 50V RMS. 2. To prevent ignition of a hazardous atmosphere, batteries must only be changed in an area known to be non-hazardous. CAUTION: 1. Do not use or store this instrument in microwave ovens or any abnormally hot or cold areas. 2. Weak batteries should not be left in the instrument.

4. BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT The total battery life without backlighting is about 400 hours. Remaining battery power is indicated by the battery life indicator. Indicator Voltage Cell + 3 bars More than 4.1 V Cell + 2 bars More than 3.6 V Cell + 1 bars More than 3.0 V Cell + empty bars More than 2.
5. INSERTING AND REMOVING OPTIONAL RUBBER ARMOUR 1. To insert thermometer into the optional rubber armor, slide in from the top of meter before pushing the bottom edges of meter down to set it into position. Lift up the stand at the back of meter for bench top applications if necessary. 2. To remove thermometer from armor, push out from the bottom edges of meter until it is completely out of boot.
6. ASSEMBLING OPTIONAL HANDSFREE ACCESORIES You can use the optional magnets and strap in the Handsfree Kit accessories for hands free operations.
7. CONNECTING A RTD Use the correct 100 Ω RTD (alpha = 0.003850) for your instrument. Using an incorrect probe type will result in erroneous readings. Insert the 3-pin plug into the mating connector on the top of the instrument. If no probe is connected the display will read “open”. RTDs are sensitive at the tip or sensing element. When taking measurements, allow time for the reading to stabilize. Multiplying the time constant of the probe by 5 will give you the approximate time required.
8. KEY FUNCTIONS F1 Step through Min, Max and Avg readings. F2 Toggle between F and C display F3 Toggle between menu and measure mode hold on/off light Freeze display Turns meter on and off (press and hold for 3 seconds to turn off) Press momentarily to turn on backlight recall▲ Recalls and steps through stored readings log▼ Stores current measured value to memory Note: Function keys change in setup mode to provide advanced operation flexibility. Text above key will indicate function.

10. MEASUREMENT MODE On initial start-up the meter will display the measured value for in the primary display. Pressing the F2 key will toggle reading between F and C display. Pressing the F1 key initiates and toggles through Minimum, Maximum, and Average reading modes. Pressing F3 enter accesses Setup mode.
11. HOLD FUNCTON Press the hold key to retain the reading on the display. Press the hold key again for normal operation. 12. MIN, MAX, and AVE FUNCTION Press the F1 key to toggle between the minimum, maximum, and average readings. The minimum and maximum reading function is ideal for monitoring unattended operations while continually displaying every temperature change that occurs. The minimum and maximum values are sensed and automatically stored.
14. SETUP MODE To access the setup mode from measurement mode press the F3 key (Menu). Press ▲▼ keys on the meter key pad to scroll through options. To enter a setup screen press Select F1 key. To return to measurement mode press Meas F3 key. Following menu options are listed 1. General Setup 2. User field calibration 3. Alarm settings 4. Data logging settings 5. View user calibration report 6.
15. GENERAL SETUP SCREEN The first page of the General Setup screens let you set Resolution, auto-off time, and password. Press F1 to indicate you want to change the setting of the current parameter or recall▲ or log▼ to move to the next parameter. Press recall▲ or log▼ to change the options. Press F2 to choose the next setting. Whenever set the options, press F1 for accepting the choice.
This screen below is used to reset/change password. In the event if uses forget his/her password, 5586 can be used to reset to a new value On the second page you can set time and date.
16. CALIBRATION SCREEN The thermometer is factory calibrated and does not require calibration before use. The Calibration function allows single point calibration of the thermometer, at any temperature point to compensate for RTD off-set error. It is NOT necessary to perform a field calibration to obtain specified meter accuracy. Use the field calibration feature to improve thermometer/probe accuracy or to compensate for RTD drift... Before go into the calibration mode, must enter the password.
There are two calibration options: Offset – adjusts at a single point. Offset calibration can be performed at any temperature in the offset range of ±10.00 °C or 18.00 °F Slope – adjusts at two points. The two calibration points must be at least 40.00 °C (72.00 °F) apart. The 2nd calibration point should be at a higher value than the 1st calibration point. Use the ▲ or ▼ keys to adjust the value to match known temperature standard. Press F1 to accept.
17. ALARMS SCREEN There are two kind of alarm setting is available under the alarm setting options Measurement alarm Disable or enable the alarm by pressing recall▲ or log▼and F1 to accept. Increase or decrease individual limit by pressing recall▲ or log▼.
Countdown alarm You can enable/disable the countdown alarm and set the countdown time from 5 sec to 1 hour.
Press F2 key to start the countdown: Press F2 key in the middle of a countdown will stop the process: You will need to restart the countdown by selecting the “start” key (F2). Alternatively, you can also choose “Menu” to go into the timer menu and disabling the alarm.
The buzzer will sound for 30 seconds, or until the reset (F2) is pressed, at the end of the countdown. Flashing announciator indicates that the countdown has expired To reset the timer, select “restart” (F2) it. You display should look like this: To repeat the functions, select F2 Note: The °C/ °F function is disabled when the count down function is enabled.
“Alarm Setting page 2” and disable the count down alarm function. When activated, the countdown timer temporarily over-rides the Auto-shutoff until the countdown is completed or manually stopped. If the meter is manually or auto shutoff, The Countdown Alarm is automatically reset to “Disable” each time the meter is shut off. The 'Timer' key will revert back to the '°C/°F' key.
DATA LOGGING SCREEN Press recall▲ or log▼to choose the logging methods as auto or manual. If it is auto logging, using recall▲ or log▼to set time interval. Its range is from 2min to 60min. Data Transfer from Meter to Computer Once the USB connection is establish with PC, press the Select button to download data from Meter to PC using HyperTerminal.
18. CALIBRATION REPORT SCREEN The Calibration report will show the time and date along with results of the last user calibration.
19. CLEAR / RESET SCREEN Press F1 to choose which data you want to clear or reset. For calibration, logged data and reset all, you will have to enter the password to proceed.
20. MAINTENANCE Properly used, the thermometer should maintain calibration indefinitely and not require service other than occasional cleaning of the housing and changing of the batteries. 21. CLEANING WARNING: TO PREVENT IGNITION OF A HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE BY ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE, CLEAN WITH DAMP CLOTH. Do not clean with abrasives or solvents. Use mild detergents, never immerse nor use excessive fluid. 22.
