DTM 995
LCD Type K Thermocouple Indicator
This meter will give a direct reading in °C from a K type (chromel-alumel) thermocouple sensor. The circuit uses a converter/amplifier
which has Cold Junction Compensation. Calibration is by two 20-turn cermet potentiometers which allow sensitive adjustment of the
instrument. The meter can also operate without a thermocouple to read room temperature. The meter is housed in a robust carrier,
which can be bolted in place or panel mounted using the low profile bezel, window and clips provided. The meter can also be backlit for
use in poor visibility.

CALIBRATION
1.
Place thermocouple at 0°C and adjust OFFSET to
read 000.
Place thermocouple at known reference
temperature, eg. 100°C and adjust CAL
to read 100.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until there are no more
adjustments of CAL and OFFSET required to
give desired readings.

Note
- When connecting thermocouples, ensure that the wires are carefully cleaned and are connected directly to the module and not to some
intermediate connector other than a proper K type thermocouple extension cable.
ROOM TEMPERATURE METER
To use the internal temperature sensor, simply apply a short circuit to T+/T- (LK2).
VARIOUS OPERATING MODES
ON-BOARD LINKS: In order to quickly and easily change operating modes for
different applications, the meter has several on-board links. They are designed
to be easily opened (cut) or shorted (soldered).
Ensure thermocouple probes are isolated.

BACKLIGHTING
There are two ways to power the LED backlight. Either use a 5V (±10%) supply on LP+/LP- or use the internal meter 5V supply. If the internal
supply is used, the power supply voltage is limited to 7.5 - 15V D.C.
