Recording Time: 7 day
Range: KT800/01/02/03/05/55/56: 0 to +100°F,
To change the range and recording time, please reference Dip Switch Set-Up in this manual.

KT801/02/03/04/05/55/56: 9V battery and plug in AC adapter.
KT800: 4 AA Batteries
a. Plug in thermocouple probe(s). NOTE: Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting wires
from transmitter.
3.

4.
The instrument will move pens to the appropriate readings.
5.
Install the chart that matches the Dip Switch settings you have selected.
a. Press the PEN HOME key to move the pen to the outside of the chart. The pen is automatically raised
off the chart.
b. Remove the old chart, place the new chart on the Chart Hub – being certain that the edge of the
chart slides under the Chart Guide Clips located at the outside of the chart.
6.
Set the appropriate time. There are two ways to adjust the chart and set the appropriate time:
a. Set the chart time manually by inserting a coin into the groove in the chart hub and turning clockwise
until the correct hour (and day if applicable) on the chart is referenced to the timing arrow (just to the
right of the pen tip on the dial).
b. (This feature should be used for fine adjustments only) To adjust the chart time, press and hold
ADJUST-UP and ADJUST-DOWN buttons located on the back of the unit next to the dip switch (see
figure 3). The green LED will blink rapidly for about five seconds, then the LED will remain solid
green. While in this state ADJUST-UP button will move the chart forward (clockwise) and ADJUST-
DOWN button will move the chart backward (counter clockwise). Rotate the chart until the correct
hour (and day if applicable) on the chart is referenced to the timing arrow. Once you have set your
chart, press the PEN HOME button to exit Chart Adjust Mode. The unit will take one minute to exit
Chart Adjust Mode once PEN HOME is pressed.
7.
Press PEN HOME to move the pens back onto the chart.
8.
Place the KT8 recorder on a flat vibration-free surface. Be sure it is in a vertical position and level. For
best performance and longevity, the location should be a clean environment, free from dust and corrosive
fumes. Do not exceed temperature specifications.
Wall Mount: Keyhole slots are provided on the KT8 recorder for wall mounting.
Pen
The blue pen has a longer pen arm and records humidity or dew point (depending on your dip switch
selection, see pg. 6). The red pen has a shorter arm and records temperature. The pens are offset to allow
the red pen to glide under the blue pen. The blue pen indicates the correct time and the red pen precedes it
by 3/16 of an inch.
The pens move in increments across the chart as sensor readings change. At any given time there may be a
slight discrepancy in the position of the pen and the reading on the display due to hysteresis.
For visual spot checks the display is more accurate than the pen position but both are within the stated
specifications of the unit (see "Specifications" on pg. 2).
