SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The OMEGA® Model 871A and Model 872A Digital Thermometers are

ultrasensitive hand held instruments. Low power LSI devices combined

with a large 0.6" (15 mm) LCD, deliver reliability, extended battery life, and

an extremely readable readout. One nine volt battery will deliver 100 hours

of continuous operation.

The 871A and 872A are operationally identical except for minor differences

related to each model’s thermocouple input: Model 871A is designed for

use with type K (Chromel-Alumel) thermocouples; Model 872A is designed

for use with type J (Iron-Constantan) thermocouples.

Cold junction electronic circuitry in the Model 871A and Model 872A

automatically compensates for ambient temperature changes. A special

integrating A/D converter corrects for thermocouple non-linearity during

each digitization cycle. The resulting conformity to the standard

thermocouple voltage table is within 1ºC over the entire measurement span of

the instrument.

Although the 871A and 872A are ideal for temperature measurement in the

field, they also function well as bench instruments when equipped with the

optional tilt stand. The Model 871A and Model 872A provide dual inputs,

selectable scales (ºF/ºC), 1.0º and 0.1º resolution, and an analog output.

The versatile dual input configuration permits two point temperature

measurement such as those required in process monitoring. The analog

output allows interfacing with chart recorders or data acquisition system’s

functioning as an electronic ice-point reference.

1.2 FEATURES

• Wide temperature range • Dual thermocouple inputs

• Selectable scales (ºF/ºC) • Analog output

• 0.1º and 1.0º resolution • Heavy duty construction

• 0.25% accuracy

1.2.1 ACCESSORY ITEMS

unit) if purchased separately.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

2.1 UNPACKING

Remove the Packing List and verify that all equipment has been received. If there

are any questions about the shipment, please call OMEGA Customer Service

Department at 800-622-2378 or (203) 359-1660.

The following items are included:

Quantity Description

1 871 or 872 Digital Thermometer

2 Beaded Wire Thermocouples

1 TAS Transition Adapter

1 9 Volt Alkaline Battery

1 Operator’s Manual

Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any sign of

damage. Take particular note of any evidence of rough handling in transit.

Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent.

NOTE

The carrier will not honor any claims unless all shipping material is

saved for their examination. After examining and removing contents,

save packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.

2.2 BATTERY INSTALLATION

A 9 V battery is supplied with the instrument but not installed. To install the

battery, remove the cover from the battery compartment by sliding it off in the

direction of the arrow located on the battery cover. The battery connector snaps

on and off the terminals of the battery. Improper installation of the battery will

cause the connecting wires to be severed by excess strain. Proper installation

requires that the battery be positioned in such a manner (see Figure 2-1) that the

leads protruding from the boot of the battery connector face toward the outside

of the battery compartment. If the instrument is going to be stored for a long

period of time or in a high temperature environment, remove the battery to

prevent damage due to leakage.

WARNING

Turn the model 871/872A off and disconnect the input probes before

replacing the battery. Put the cover back into place on the battery com-

partment before resuming use of the instrument.

Figure 2-1. Battery Installation

SECTION 3 OPERATION

The Model 871A is designed to work with any type K thermocouple probe or sen-

sor, fitted with an OMEGA miniature thermocouple connector SMP-K-M or industry

equivalent.

The Model 872A is designed to work with any type J thermocouple probe

or sensor, fitted with an OMEGA miniature connector SMP-J-M or

industry equivalent.

3.1 CONTROL AND INDICATORS

Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 illustrate and describe the controls and indicators on the

871A and 872A.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

ITEM CONTROL/INDICATOR FUNCTION

1. ON/OFF switch Turns unit on or off.

2. Scale and range selector Allows user to select: ºF or ºC scale,

any of four possible thermocouple

ranges, and 1.0º or 0.1º resolution.

resolution reading. Refer to mV

output specifications for mV output

to temperature ratios.

6. Low battery indicator When the battery level is low, BAT

will appear in upper left corner of

the display. Battery should then be

replaced to avoid error erroneous

readings due to battery failure.

7. Overrange/open When an overrange indication or

thermocouple indication open thermocouple condition exits,

a 1 followed by blanked digits will

appear in the display.

3.2 OPERATING PROCEDURE

1. Turn power on.

2. Select scale and range (see Tables 3-2 and 3-3).

3. Select thermocouple TC1 or TC2.

4. Connect one or two thermocouples to the input jacks.

4.4 DISASSEMBLY FOR MODEL 871A AND MODEL 872A

The PC board and LCD assembly are not secured once the case retaining

screws are removed. Be careful not to allow the PC board and LCD

assembly to fall out or shift out of position.

1. Place the unit face down on a bench or other similar surface and

remove the battery compartment cover. Remove and disconnect the

battery. Remove the two #4-40 x 7/8 retaining screws.

2. Grasp the bottom cover at the input jack end and with a lifting

and forward pushing motion (see Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5), carefully

remove the bottom cover. While removing the cover, feed the

battery connector through the access hole in bottom of the

battery compartment.

3. The component side of the PC board is now exposed and the battery

can be reconnected for troubleshooting. To read the display, some light

downward pressure at the top end of the circuit board may be required

in order to make contact through the conductive elastomer strip,

between the circuit board and the LCD.

4. To remove the PC board from the top cover, grasp the TC switch

assembly and lift until the input jacks become disengaged from the

cover. The PC board can now be removed using a slight clockwise

motion to free the two switch knobs from their normal positions in

the case.

5. The LCD assembly will remain in the top cover when the PC board is

removed. Again, be careful not to allow the LCD assembly to fall

out accidentally.

6. The two switch knobs can be removed from the PC board assembly by

simply pulling them off the switch shafts.

7. The LCD assembly, along with the strip connector, lifts out of the case.

8. To reassemble the unit, reverse the above procedure.

NOTE

Proper alignment of the strip connector is necessary when reinstalling the

LCD assembly. Make sure that the conductor side of the strip connector is

positioned against the plastic support of the assembly.

WARNING

Be sure to replace the on-off switch cover. Common-mode

voltage will be present on the switch, creating a possible hazard if

the cover is not replaced

4.5 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The troubleshooting information is intended to be used by qualified elec-

tronic maintenance personnel who are familiar with the proper use of stan-

dard electronic test equipment.

To gain access to the PC board, refer to the first three paragraphs of the

disassembly instructions. Utilize the Parts List, Schematic and Component

Layout for identifying parts and checkpoint locations. The following checks

should be made with the Models 871A and 872A set to the 200ºC Range.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

ITEM CONTROL/INDICATOR FUNCTION

1. ON/OFF switch Turns unit on or off.

2. Scale and range selector Allows user to select: ºF or ºC scale,

any of four possible thermocouple

ranges, and 1.0º or 0.1º resolution.

3. Thermocouple selector Allows user to read either of two

thermocouples by simply turning

the dial.

4. Thermocouple input jacks Allows direct connection of two

thermocouples to the unit via an

OMEGA miniature male connector.

5. Analog output jack, The analog output is a nonlinearized,

+mV OUT and -mV OUT cold junction compensated, amplified

thermocouple output. (Not isolated

from selected TC input.) Use a

recorder to monitor temperature or

a sensitive DMM to make higher

resolution reading. Refer to mV

output specifications for mV output

to temperature ratios.

6. Low battery indicator When the battery level is low, BAT

will appear in upper left corner of

the display. Battery should then be

replaced to avoid error erroneous

readings due to battery failure.

7. Overrange/open When an overrange indication or

thermocouple indication open thermocouple condition exits,

a 1 followed by blanked digits will

appear in the display.
