PL-120 T1 THERMOMETER
Item No. 12 34 01
INTENDED USE1.
This product is designed for temperature measurement and is especially suitable for use in laboratories
and industrial areas. Temperature measurement is done via a temperature sensor. Temperature can
be measured with temperature sensors of type K and J. Measurement readings can be frozen on
the screen. The product can display the minimum, maximum and average readings of a particular
measurement process. Temperature can be displayed in ºC (Celsius), ºF (Fahrenheit) or K (Kelvin). The
product features an auto-off and a backlight function. Power is supplied by three AAA batteries.
Measurements should not be carried out under unfavourable ambient conditions. Adverse conditions are:
Moisture or excessive humidity•
Dustandammablegases,vapoursorsolvents.•
Thunderstormsorsimilarconditionssuchasstrongelectrostaticelds,etc.•
This product fulls European and national requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC). CE conformity has been veried and the relevant statements and documents have been
deposited at the manufacturer.
Unauthorised conversion and/or modication of the device are inadmissible because of safety and

the product.
Do not switch the product on immediately after it has been taken from a cold to a warm environment. •
The condensation that forms might destroy the product. Allow the product to reach room temperature
before switching it on.
Batteries
Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.•
Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to avoid •
damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with
skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.
Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around, as there is risk, •
that children or pets swallow it.
All the batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in the device can •
lead to battery leakage and device damage.

INSERTING / REPLACING BATTERIES5.
Unscrew the screw on the battery compartment cover using a Phillips screwdriver and take off the 1.
cover of the battery compartment.
Insert three AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity. Take note of the labelling on the inside of 2.
the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment.3.
Replace the batteries when the battery icon appears on the display.
OPERATION6.
Do not measure the temperature of live parts or leads, as touching them might •
cause a potentially lethal electric shock. Also, the thermometer and sensor could
be damaged.
The sensor included with delivery can only be used for measurements in dry •
environments and on surfaces with a temperature of > -20 ºC and < +250 ºC. It
is not suitable for use in humid environments or to measure the temperature of
uids.
The accuracy of the gauge is only assured when the thermometer is operated at a •
temperature range of +18 ºC to +28 ºC (excluding the temperature sensor).
The thermometer (excluding the temperature sensor) must not be used outside •
the operating temperature range. Please note the specications on operating
temperature in the Technical Data section.
You can utilize the entire measurement range of the thermometer with optionally •
available temperature sensors.
Basic functions
Connect the temperature sensor to port T1 on the top of the device. Only one direction is possible. 1.
Please note the polarity labelling on the temperature sensors’ plug and on the side of the port.
You can also connect a temperature sensor of type J to the thermometer; these are optionally
available.
Press the on/off button to switch the device on.2.
Place the sensor at the locations which you want to measure.3.
The display will show the temperature reading. If no temperature sensor is connected, four horizontal 4.
bars will be displayed instead of a temperature reading.
Press the CFK button to switch between Celsius (C), Fahrenheit (F) and Kelvin (K).5.
