2. Secondary LCD: Display T2
4 OPERATION
• POWER ON/OFF
Note:
Make sure you have plugged in the thermocouple probe before
turning on.
Press and hold PWR button to turn on the meter. While the meter is
on, press PWR button to turn off the meter.

to turn on the meter, the primary LCD shows the following. Sleep
mode is now disabled.
• TAKING MEASUREMENT
Connect thermocouple. If probe is open or not connected, the LCD
will show ”---”.
• DIFFERENTIAL (T1 - T2)
Press "MODE" to display differential. Press "MODE" again to
return to normal display.
• MAX / MIN
Press MAX / MIN button to change operation mode from live
data -> MAX -> MIN -> back to live data. Corresponding value will
display on the LCD. These values will reset at power on or when
performing a reset on MAX/MIN.
Reset MAX/MIN: Press Max/Min button for 2 seconds to reset
MAX/MIN analysis value. The MAX/MIN value is updated to
current reading.
• DATA HOLD
Freeze display of basic measurements or disable. Press HOLD
button again to go back to the temperature reading.
• CHANGE UNIT
Press UNIT button to change unit ˚C or ˚F. The meter default
temperature unit is ˚F. The meter will default to last selected scale.
1 INTROdUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the UEi DTK2 dual input K type
differential thermometer. This thermometer features a built-in
microprocessor and high resolution analog to digital converter

5 AUTOMATIC ICE-POINT CALIBRATION
The DTK2 has an automatic ice-point calibration function. Please
follow these steps to calibrate your meter to the thermocouple
probes.
• ITEMS NEEDED:
1. DTK2 Thermometer
2. Two k-type probes
3. Crushed ice/water mixture
(distilled water recommended if available)
• CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both probes to the DTK2
2. Place probe tips in the crushed ice/water mixture
3. Power on the DTK2
4. Press and hold SET for five seconds.
a. The meter will enter ice-point calibration and 0.0°C will
flash on both T1 and T2 readings
5. Stir the ice bath with the probes submerged for one minute
6. Continue stirring the ice/water mixture until the readings
return to normal measurement (flashing will stop)
The ice-point calibration is now complete.
