–40 °C to 1372 °C 0 °C - - ±1.0 °C
[6] Ensure that the ambient temperature is stable within ±1 ºC. Ensure that the multimeter is placed in a controlled
environment for at least 1 hour before you proceed to ensure that the multimeter’s internal reference junction sensor and
input terminal are stabilized at the same environment. Keep the multimeter away from any ventilation exit.
Differences in ambient compensation between the calibrator and multimeter may cause some deviations shown between
the readings of the calibrator and multimeter. Placing the multimeter close to the output terminal of the calibrator will help
reduce this deviation.
Keep the thermocouple test lead as close to the multimeter as possible.
Do not touch the thermocouple test lead after connecting it to the calibrator. Allow the connection to stabilize for at least
another 15 minutes before performing the measurement.
