Setup
Unpacking
Carefully remove the thermometer from its packaging. Inspect the device for any visible damage before proceeding with installation.
Placement and Installation
Identify the precise location where temperature measurement is required. Insert the thermometer's probe directly into the medium (gas, liquid, or steam) whose temperature is to be measured. Ensure the entire sensing portion of the probe is immersed for accurate readings. For models with an electric contact feature, ensure proper wiring to the control system or alarm unit according to your system's requirements. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about the wiring process.

Operating Instructions
Taking a Temperature Reading
Once the probe is correctly positioned, allow a few moments for the thermometer to stabilize. The needle on the analog dial will then indicate the current temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).
Using the Electric Contact Feature (if applicable)
For models equipped with an electric contact, you can set a desired temperature threshold. When the measured temperature reaches this threshold, the thermometer will automatically send a control signal. This signal can be used to activate an alarm, shut off a heating element, or trigger other control actions. Refer to your control system's manual for specific integration details.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the thermometer, gently wipe the dial and casing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the entire unit in water. Ensure the probe is clean of any residue that might affect readings.
Storage
When not in use, store the thermometer in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect the probe from physical damage.
Calibration
The Pilipane Bimetal Dial Thermometer is factory-calibrated for accuracy. Field calibration is generally not required. If you suspect inaccurate readings, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
Inaccurate Readings
- Check Probe Placement: Ensure the probe is fully immersed in the medium being measured.
- Environmental Factors: Verify that there are no external heat sources or drafts affecting the probe or the thermometer's body.
- Damage: Inspect the probe and casing for any signs of physical damage.
No Movement on Dial
- Temperature Range: Confirm that the measured temperature is within the thermometer's operating range (0-120°C).
- Physical Damage: Check for any obstructions or damage to the needle mechanism.
If issues persist after following these steps, please contact customer support for further assistance.
