2.5 Connecting a Temperature Probe
The 9478 Sheath Type Temperature Probe’s measurement unit is located at the tip of the
metal sheath. When measuring the internal temperature of a target object, insert the metal
sheath to a length of at least 40 mm in order to assure accurate measurement, as illus-
trated below:
1
Check that the instrument’s power switch is
turned off.
2
Holding the connector, orient so that the arrow is on
the top and connect to the terminal.
The connector will lock in place with a clicking sound.
3
Gently pull on the connector (the part other than the
coupling) to verify that it has been connected prop-
erly.
