11.12 Temperature measurement
During temperature measurement, only the temperature probe may be ex-
posed to the temperature to be measured. The working temperature of the
measuring instrument must not be exceeded or fallen short of, otherwise
measurement errors may occur.
The contact temperature probe may only be used on stress-free surfaces.
All K-type thermocouples can be used for temperature measurement. The tem-
peratures can be displayed in °C or °F. The enclosed wire probe is suitable for
the range -20 to +230°C. With optional probes, the entire measurement range
(-40 to +1000 °C) can be used.
Switch on the DMM and select the
measuring function "°C°F".
Plug the enclosed wire thermo-
couple into the °C (+) and COM (-)
measurement sockets with correct
polarity.
The temperature value with the
corresponding unit appears in the
display.
Switching from °C to °F is done via
the „SELECT" key.
As soon as „OL" (for overload) ap-
pears in the display, you have ex-
ceeded the measuring range.
If no probe is connected, readout
from the display is not relevant and
should be neglected.
Remove the probe from the measuring object after the end of the measurement
and switch off the DMM.
