* Measure temperature difference: T1 - T2  
* Cold Junction (CJ) compensation  
Snapshot: Up to 1000 displays with a date/time stamp  
Communications port: IDOS or RS232  
Language selection  
** Measure pressure/Leak test: UMM - Pressure  
Other functions: Hold, Maximum/Minimum/Average, Filter, Tare,  
Scaled values, Backlight, Alarm  
*
Refer to “Specification”.  
** Optional item  
Safety  
Before you use the instrument, make sure that you read and  
understand all the related data. This includes: all local safety  
procedures, the instructions for the UMM (if applicable), and this  
publication.

WARNING  
It is dangerous to ignore the specified limits for the  
instrument or to use the instrument when it is not in its  
normal condition. Use the applicable protection and  
obey all safety precautions.  
Do not use the instrument in locations with explosive  
gas, vapor or dust. There is a risk of an explosion.  
To prevent electrical shocks or damage to the  
instrument, do not connect more than 30V between the  
terminals, or between the terminals and the ground  
(earth).  
UMM - Pressure options only. To prevent a dangerous  
release of pressure, isolate and bleed the system before  
you disconnect a pressure connection.

Maintenance  
This section gives procedures to maintain the unit in a good  
condition. Return the instrument to the supplier for all repairs.  
Step  
Procedure  
A1 - Item [9a] (Optional): Connect the 5-pin connector  
to the IDOS instrument.  
, ◗  
Maintenance – Clean the unit  
Clean the case with a moist, lint-free cloth and a weak detergent.  
Do not use solvents or abrasive materials.  
A1 - Item [9a] (Optional): Connect the 9-pin connector  
to the serial port on the PC or to a serial printer (refer  
to the PC or printer instructions).  
PC: Make sure that Windows® HyperTerminal or  
similar program is set up to use the specified data  
format (refer to your PC on-line Help).  
Maintenance – Replace the batteries B1  
To replace the batteries, refer to B1. Then re-attach the cover.  
Make sure that the time and date are correct. The calibration  
facility uses the date to give service and calibration messages.  
All the other configuration options stay in memory.  
Serial printer: Make sure that the printer can use the  
specified data format.  
Maintenance – Recalibrate the unit  
Note: GE Druck can provide a calibration service that is  
traceable to international standards.  
Data format  
Baud rate: 19200  
Parity: None  
Data bits: 8  
Stop bits: 1  
Before you start the calibration, make sure that the time and date  
are correct (Table 1).  
Software handshake: Xon/Xoff Flow Control  
ASCII format text; Comma delimited  
To get accurate results, do the calibration in stable temperature  
conditions, and to the applicable calibration standards.  
Selection sequence:  
Transmit the data to the PC or printer (Table 4).  
PC: Use Windows® HyperTerminal or a similar  
program to make a text file. You can then import the  
text file into a spreadsheet.

Calibration: Measure mV  
The specified accuracy (refer to “Specification”) includes an  
allowance for temperature changes, reading stability for one  
year, and the uncertainty of the standard used for calibration.  
GE Druck recommend that you return the instrument to the  
manufacturer or an approved service agent for calibration.  
If you use an alternative calibration facility, make sure that it  
uses these standards:  
Accuracy of the mV calibration equipment:  
0.008% reading + 0.003% FS or better.  
Calibration limit for the instrument (mV measure): 0.01%  
reading + 4 µV or better.
