5. Operation

5.1. Power On/Off

• Press the ON/OFF button to power on the device.
• To power off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately 3 seconds.

5.2. Backlight Control

• Press the ON/OFF button briefly to toggle the LCD backlight on or off.

5.3. Measuring Temperature

• Once powered on and thermocouples are connected, the device will immediately begin displaying real-time temperature readings for each active channel.

5.4. MAX/MIN/HOLD Function

This function allows you to view the maximum, minimum, and current held values during a measurement session.

1. Press the MAX/MIN/HOLD button once to display the maximum (MAX) temperature recorded.
2. Press the MAX/MIN/HOLD button again to display the minimum (MIN) temperature recorded.
3. Press the MAX/MIN/HOLD button a third time to hold the current readings (HOLD).
4. Press the MAX/MIN/HOLD button a fourth time to return to real-time measurement mode.

5.5. Data Logging to SD Card

The device records temperature data to the SD card in a simple TXT file format, which can be opened with any text editor or spreadsheet software.

• To start recording, press the REC button. The 'REC' indicator will appear on the screen.
• To stop recording, press the REC button again. The 'REC' indicator will disappear.
• The sampling rate for data logging can be programmed (refer to advanced settings in the full manual for details).

5.6. Alarm Function (High/Low Limit)

The thermometer features programmable high and low temperature alarms.

• When a measured temperature exceeds the set high limit or falls below the set low limit, the device will activate an audible buzzer and an LED indicator.
• Refer to the full manual for instructions on how to set specific high and low alarm thresholds.
