Measuring Temperature
For the U1233A, set up your multimeter to measure
temperature as shown in Figure 2- 19. For the U1231A and
U1232A, refer to Figure 2- 20. Probe the test points and read
the display.
Do not connect the thermocouple to electrically live circuits. Doing
so will potentially cause fire or electric shock.
Do not bend the thermocouple leads at sharp angles. Repeated
bending over a period of time can break the leads.
• The multimeter uses a type-K (default setting) temperature probe for
measuring temperature.
• For temperature measurement on the U1233A, a type-K thermocouple
probe and adapter such as the U1186A (purchased separately) is
recommended. It is only compatible with the U1233A.
• For auxillary temperature measurement on the U1231A and U1232A, a
temperature module such as the U1586B (purchased separately) is
recommended.
• The approximate ambient temperature (cold-junction compensation) is
shown on the display when you have an open thermocouple. The open
thermocouple message may be due to a broken (open) probe or
because no probe is installed into the input jacks of the multimeter.
• Shorting the terminal to the COM terminal will display the
temperature at the multimeter’s terminals.
