TW8060 Two-Channel Thermocouple With Alarm Operating Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the TW8060 2-Channel Thermocouple Alarm Thermometer. You’ve purchased a professional thermocouple meter capable of measuring two type K thermocouple inputs simultaneously, with one channel configurable to alarm when preset limits are met. Alarm limits are user programmable. It includes two mini-thermocouple input jacks so most standard type K thermocouple probes can be attached for use. Please take a few minutes to review the information in this booklet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS If the TW8060 is exposed to rapid changes in ambient (room) temperature, allow the meter to adjust in the new ambient environment for 20 minutes to acclimate. Turning the Meter ON/OFF Press the ON/OFF button momentarily to power the unit on. Please make sure there is sufficient battery power. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds to power the unit off.
To clear the Max/Min temperatures, press and hold the MAX/ MIN button for 3 seconds. CLER will be displayed momentarily. Note: if the maximum or minimum display shows OL, clear the Max/Min function and continue. It is recommended to reset the maximum and minimum temperatures after replacing probes. OL will display if a probe is not connected or has failed. Setting the High/Low Alarm Limits: The high and low alarm can only be set on channel 1 (T1).
directly above the T1 temperature display. To turn the alarm off, press the ALARM ON/OFF button and the word LIMIT will no longer be displayed. Note: It is recommended to disable the Auto-off feature if you intend to use the alarm feature, otherwise the unit will power off after 20 minutes. Setting the Display Unit The TW8060 will display temperatures in two scales, Fahrenheit and Celsius. To switch from one to the other, press the Units button momentarily and the unit on the LCD display will change.
Cleaning Instructions The TW8060 may be wiped down with a damp cloth using mild water based detergent or an antibacterial cleansing wipe. DO NOT submerge under water at any time. Proper Care of Probes Avoid twisting or wrapping the probe cable tightly as this can cause the wires to short inside the connector. Do not kink probe cables. Loosely wrapping the cable during use or in storage is preferred. Some probe cables should not be immersed in fluids.
Probe Selection for Roasting, Slow Cooking & Grilling While there are hundreds of type K thermocouple probes to choose from, here are a few that are perfect for roasting, slow smoking and grilling. We’ve also included a few tips and best practices to help you extend the useful life of your thermocouple probes. Smokehouse Penetration Probe, Model #113-177 Sensor Range: -58 to 482°F (-50 to 250°F).
1" Armored Smokehouse Penetration Probe, Model #113-178 Sensor Range: -77 to 660°F (-75 to 350°C). Cable Range: -77 to 660°F (-75 to 350°C) The Armored Smokehouse probe is, without a doubt, the toughest probe available for backyard grillers. The armored cable is not easily closed in a regular home oven door, so we suggest you choose a different probe for standard kitchen use.
grill surface. For best results, place the probe tip within an inch of the meat. Avoid positioning the probe tip near the outer edges of the grill where temperatures may be lower. When done, the aluminum ball is easily removed from the probe without damaging the cable.
