Temperature measurement without ambient compensation
If you are working in a constantly varying environment,
where ambient temperatures are not constant, do the
following:
1 Press and hold for more than 1 second to select the
0 °C compensation ( ). This allows a quick measurement
of the relative temperature.
2 Avoid contact between the thermocouple probe and the
surface to be measured.
3 After a constant reading is obtained, press to set the
reading as the relative reference temperature.
4 Touch the surface to be measured with the thermocouple
probe and read the display.
