• HOLD Key: Freezes the current temperature reading on the display.
• MAX/MIN/AVG Key: Cycles through maximum, minimum, and average temperature readings.
• T1/T2 Key: Toggles between displaying temperature from Probe 1 (T1) or Probe 2 (T2).
• T1-T2 Key: Displays the temperature difference between Probe 1 and Probe 2.
• K-type Inputs (T1 & T2): Ports for connecting K-type thermocouple probes.
• Silicon Rubber Holster: Provides protection and a comfortable grip.

Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Remove the silicon rubber holster from the thermometer.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit.
3. Open the cover and insert the included 9V battery, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover and reattach the silicon holster.

2. Probe Connection

1. Select the appropriate K-type thermocouple probe for your measurement needs (wired bead-type or stainless steel).
2. Insert the yellow plug of the thermocouple probe into either the T1 or T2 input port at the bottom of the thermometer. Ensure a firm connection.
3. For dual-channel measurement, connect a second probe to the remaining input port.

Operating Instructions

Power ON/OFF

Press the POWER button to turn the thermometer ON or OFF.

Selecting Temperature Unit (°C/°F/K)

Press the °C/°F/K button to cycle through Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K) units. The selected unit will be displayed on the LCD.

Single/Dual Channel Measurement (T1/T2)

If only one probe is connected, the display will show the temperature from that probe. If two probes are connected:

• Press the T1/T2 button to switch between displaying the temperature from Probe 1 (T1) or Probe 2 (T2).
• Press the T1-T2 button to display the temperature difference between Probe 1 and Probe 2. This is useful for comparing two points simultaneously.

Data Hold Function

Press the HOLD button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume live readings.

MAX/MIN/AVG Function

Press the MAX/MIN/AVG button to cycle through the following modes:

• MAX: Displays the maximum temperature recorded since the function was activated or reset.
• MIN: Displays the minimum temperature recorded since the function was activated or reset.
• AVG: Displays the average temperature recorded since the function was activated or reset.

To reset the MAX/MIN/AVG values, press and hold the MAX/MIN/AVG button until the display clears or resets.

Auto Power Off

The thermometer features an auto power-off function to conserve battery life. It will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity. Press any button to reactivate the device.

Applications

The DANOPLUS Digital K Type Thermometer is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its broad temperature measurement capabilities and dual-channel functionality. Here are some common uses:

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the main unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is dry before storage.
• Probe Care: Clean probes after each use, especially when measuring different substances, to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accuracy. Allow hot probes to cool before cleaning.
• Storage: Store the thermometer and probes in the protective carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the 9V battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure continuous accurate operation.
• Probe Replacement: K-type thermocouples are consumable items and may degrade over time, especially with frequent use at high temperatures. Replace probes if they show signs of damage or provide inconsistent readings. Any standard K-Type thermocouple connectors can be used for replacement.
