Install Thermocouple(S) - General DT61 Manual Del Usuario

Step 6 enables you to enable or disable ambient
temperature compensation for the thermometer's
thermocouple(s).
At the beginning of Step 6, the term ntC (an
abbreviation of normal temperature compensation)
appears on the primary readout, with on displayed
on the secondary readout. Press either the or
button to change on to oFF. If you disable ambient
temperature compensation, it will be re-enabled
after the thermometer is rebooted.
After enabling or disabling ambient temperature
compensation, press the SETUP button again to
proceed to Step 7.
Step 7 enables professional users with laboratory-
grade electrical instruments to calibrate the DT61 or
DT62. Because the calibration procedure requires
applying voltages to the spade-lug thermocouple
jacks, General considers it inappropriate for casual
users who may be unfamiliar with electrical safety
guidelines. Accordingly, the calibration procedure is
not reproduced here.
To complete the Setup procedure (and save all of
settings and any changes you made since entering
Setup mode), press the SETUP button one last time
with CAL displayed on the primary readout and oFF
showing on the secondary readout. Doing so will
cause the thermometer to exit Setup mode and enter
real-time measurement mode.

INSTALL THERMOCOUPLE(S)

Plug one (DT61) or two (DT62) thermocouples of the
selected type into the T1 jack (DT61) or T1 and T2
jacks (DT62) on the top of the thermometer. On
spade-lug thermocouple probes, the narrower lug is
the positive (+) terminal and the wider lug is the
negative (-) terminal.
