Frequently asked questions

How do I reset the peak and valley readings?

Press the & and W keys simultaneously to reset both peak and valley; press & then PAR to reset peak only, or W then PAR to reset valley only.

What torque should be used when tightening the mounting screws?

Tighten the latch screws to approximately 7 in‑lbs (79 N‑cm).

How can I change the display resolution for the meter?

Select the decimal point position with the up or down arrow keys; this sets the display to 1° or 0.1° resolution for applicable thermocouple types.

What type of shielded cable connection provides the best EMI protection?

Connect the shield only at the panel where the unit is mounted to earth ground for the most effective protection.
