Meter Display at High
and Low Temperature
Extremes
The rated temperature limits for the meter are listed above and are true
in that no damage to the meter will occur over these temperatures,
however the readability of the LCD is affected if taken to these
temperature extremes:
• The LCD will turn black at some temperature between 80 to 90 °C
(176 and 194 °F), rendering the display unreadable. This effect is
only temporary, and normally occurs at 90 °C (194 °F).
• At low temperatures, the update rate of the display is lengthened to
1.5 seconds due to the slower response time of the display.
At -20 °C (-4 °F) the display becomes unreadable due to slow
response of the LCD. This is also only temporary and normal
readability will return when temperature returns above -20 °C (-4 °F).
