Measuring Temperature
The multimeter uses a type- K (default setting) temperature
probe for measuring temperature.
1 To measure temperature, position the rotary switch to
and press once. Set up your multimeter as shown
in Figure 2- 29.
2 Probe the test points and read the display. The primary
display normally shows temperature or the message
(open thermocouple). The open thermocouple message
may be due to a broken (open) probe or because no probe
is installed into the input jacks of the multimeter.
Figure 2-27 Temperature display
Press to change the temperature units between °C or
°F (you must first change the temperature unit to switch
between °C and °F or °F and °C). See “Changing the default
temperature unit” on page 90 for more information.
WARNING
Do not connect the thermocouple to electrically live circuits. Doing
so will potentially cause fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not bend the thermocouple leads at sharp angles. Repeated
bending over a period of time can break the leads.
