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 Data logging 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 nonhazardous. 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.

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. 2. 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. To remove thermometer from armor, push out from the bottom edges of meter until it is completely out of boot.
6. ASSEMBLING OPTIONAL HANDSFREE ACCESSORIES 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.
9. DISPLAY OVERVIEW The dot matrix display features a large primary display, smaller secondary displays for channel info or min/max/ave, and helpful annuciators for added measurement data.

10. MEASUREMENT MODE On initial start-up the meter will display the measured value in the primary display. Pressing the F2 key will toggle reading between F and C display. Pressing the F1 key initiates and toggles through the Minimum, Maximum, and Average Reading modes. Pressing the F3 key accesses the Setup mode.
11. HOLD FUNCTION 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 “Menu” key (F3). Press the ▲▼ keys on the meter key pad to scroll through options. To enter a setup screen press the “Select” key (F1). To return to the measurement mode press the “Meas” key (F3). The 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 the F1 key to indicate that you want to change the setting of the current parameter or press the recall ▲ key or log▼ key to move to the next parameter. Press the recall ▲ key or log ▼ key to change the options. Press the F2 key to choose the next setting. When the option is set, press the F1 key to accept the choice.
The screen below is used to reset/change the password. If the user forgets the password, 5586 can be used to reset to a new value. On the second screen you can set the time and date.
16. CALIBRATION SCREEN The thermometer is factory calibrated and does not require calibration before use. The Calibration function allows a single point calibration of the thermometer, at any temperature point, to compensate for RTD offset error. It is NOT necessary to perform a field calibration to obtain the specified meter accuracy. Use the field calibration feature to improve thermometer/probe accuracy or to compensate for RTD drift.
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 second calibration point should be at a higher value than the first calibration point. Press the ▲ or ▼ key to adjust the value to match a known temperature standard. Press the F1 key to accept.
17. ALARMS SCREEN There are two kinds of alarm settings available in the alarm setting options: MEASUREMENT ALARM Disable or enable the alarm by pressing the recall ▲ or log ▼ key and the F1 key to accept. Increase or decrease the individual limit by pressing the recall ▲ or log ▼ key.
COUNTDOWN ALARM You can enable/disable the countdown alarm and set the countdown time from 5 seconds to 1 hour.
Press the F2 key to start the countdown: Press the F2 key in the middle of a countdown to stop the process: Restart the countdown by pressing the “Start” key (F2). Alternatively, press the “Menu” key (F3) to go into the timer menu and disable the alarm.
The buzzer will sound for 30 seconds or until the “Reset” key (F2) is pressed at the end of the countdown. Flashing icon indicates that the countdown has expired To reset the timer, press the “Reset” key (F2). The display will look like this: To repeat functions, press the F2 key. Note: The °C/ °F function is disabled when the countdown function is o o enabled.
section and disable the countdown alarm function. When activated, the countdown timer temporarily overrides the auto-off function until the countdown is completed or manually stopped. If the meter is manually or automatically shut off, the countdown alarm is automatically set to “Disable” each time the meter is shut off. The “Timer” key will revert back to the “°C/°F” key.
18. DATA LOGGING SCREEN Press the recall ▲ key or log ▼ key to choose the logging methods as auto or manual. If auto logging is selected, use the recall ▲ key or log ▼ key to set the time interval. Its range is from 2 minutes to 60 minutes.
Once the USB connection is established with a PC, press the “Select” key (F1) to download data from Meter to PC using HyperTerminal.
19. CALIBRATION REPORT SCREEN The calibration report will show the time and date along with results of the last user calibration.
20. CLEAR / RESET SCREEN Press the F1 key to select the data you want to clear or reset. For calibration, logged data and reset all, you will have to enter the password to proceed.
21. 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. 22. 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. 23.
24. TROUBLESHOOTING The following chart lists the most probable faults. There are no internal adjustments or user-replaceable parts. FAULT ACTION NO Display Check condition of batteries. Check that batteries are inserted properly.
