7. CONNECTING

A

THERMISTOR

Use the correct 400 series Thermistor for

your instrument. Using an incorrect probe

type will result in erroneous readings.

Insert the bayonet plug into the mating

connector on the top of the instrument.

If no probe is connected the display will

read “open”.

Thermistors are sensitive at the tip or

sensing element. When

taking

measurements, allow time for the reading

to stabilize. Multiplying the time constant

of the probe by 5 will give you the

approximate time required.
