MEASURING PROCEDURES
See
www.thermoprobe.net for video on proper use of this instrument. Contact your distributor or ThermoProbe Inc. for names of
training facilities. Refer to American Petroleum Institute measurement standard Chapter 7.2.
When the temperature has stabilized both Up and Down arrows will be displayed.
If you wish to log the temperature for averaging purposes, rapidly press the “On” button twice. An acknowledgment of a saved
reading will occur with a display of “LoggEd”. If the display shows “-------“ then reading was not logged due to a non-stabilized
temperature. The real time temperature will then be displayed again indicating the next reading is ready to be taken.
If you have completed all the readings needed for your operation, the “f” Button may be used to “LiSt” all the readings logged and
“At” average of the logged temperatures. Document your readings and average temperature before powering off the device.
Logged readings and average are not saved when the instrument powers off. (Note: The instrument will automatically power off 20
minutes after the last button push.)
