6.2.1TemperatureDisplay
The temperature displaycanbe setfor either °Cor °F bypressing the C/F selector button (c – up
arrow), which also doubles as the Increase Value button for the other modes. The Decrease Value
(d – down arrow) button is inactive in this mode. A lit LED shows
you whether the measured
temperature is in °C or °F. Note that this setting influences the RS485 output for both target and
internaltemperatures.
