Getting started

4.1

Power supply

An internal LiPo battery serves as the power supply. With a fully charged battery, an operating
time of approx. 15...20 hours is possible, depending on the brightness of the display. The battery
is charged via the USB port at the bottom of the device and suitable USB chargers can be used.
The charging process can be shortened by switching the meter off during the charging process.
The current charge level of the batteries is displayed in the status bar at the top right. As soon as
the battery level is no longer sufficient for proper operation of the device, it switches off
automatically and the screen shown below is displayed.
4.2

First use

Before the meter is switched on, a sensor should be connected to it. To do this, insert the plug of
the thermocouple into one of the input sockets on the top of the meter..
The instrument has an automatic sensor recognition function. If no sensor is connected, the
message "No sensor" appears instead of the measured value and the respective memory
functions are deactivated. This display can also be used to diagnose a cable break.
To start the instrument, press the ON/OFF key until the start-up screen appears. The start-up
screen is displayed for approx. 2 seconds and the meter then switches to measuring mode. To
switch off the device, press ON/OFF until the display turns off.
