UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Your shipping carton should include:

1 TMD-10 temperature meter
2 K-type thermocouples
1 9 volt battery
1 Manual

If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange.

INTRODUCTION

The TMD-10 is a dual input temperature measurement meter using Type K or Type J thermocouples.

OPERATION

Press the 1. Ⓐ button to turn power on or off

Set the Function Switch to °C or °F. 2.

Select thermocouple type (K / J) and connect the thermocouple(s) to the 3. T1 or T2 input.

Do not mix thermocouple types.

⚠️ Match the polarity of the adapter to the polarity of the thermocouple input.

Expose the thermocouple(s) to the temperature(s) to be measured. 4.

Read the LCD display. 5.

°C / °F

Press the ^irc C/F key to change from Celsius ( ^irc C) to Fahrenheit ( ^irc F) temperature scale.

This setting can not be changed when in the HOLD mode. The TMD-10 will auto save the temperature scale setting during shutdown.

MAX, MIN and AVG

Press the MAX MIN button to start the recording of the maximum, minimum, and average of all readings after the function is enabled. Pressing the MAX MIN button steps the top reading through the MAX, MIN, and AVG values. Press the MAX MIN button for > 1 second to disable the function.

The MAX, MIN or AVG reading is shown on the top display and the actual reading is shown on the bottom display for T1.

To use MAX, MIN, and AVG for T2, disable MAX, MIN, and AVG and press and hold 1-T2 key > 1 sec to swap T2 to the top display and T1 to bottom display.

Press MAX MIN button again to activate the function.

If the TMD-10 turns off because of Auto Power Off, the recorded values will be saved for use when the meter is re-energized.

K/J

Press K/J key to switch T1 from type K to type J thermocouple for the top display.

Press and hold 1-T2 key > 1 sec to swap T2 to the top display and T1 to bottom display.

Press K/J key to switch T2 from type K to type J.

Press and hold 1-T2 key > 1 sec to swap T1 to the top display and T2 to bottom display.

This setting cannot be changed if in HOLD, MAX/MIN, T1-T2 or REL modes.

The TMD-10 will auto save the thermocouple type setting during shutdown.

HOLD

Press the HOLD key to freeze the LCD displays. Press the HOLD key again to return to normal operation. When the HOLD function is enabled, all function keys are disabled except for power ① key.

REL

Relative mode allows the user to offset the subsequent meter measurements with the top display reading as the reference value.

Press the REL button to enable the Relative function for the T1 thermocouple. The top display will reset to 0.0 (reference value) and subsequently readings display the difference between the reference value and the actual reading. The actual reading is shown on the bottom display. Press the REL button to disable the Relative function.

To use the Relative mode for T2, disable and press and hold key >1 second to swap T2 to the top display and T1 to bottom display.

T1 T2 / T1-T2
