4. Design and function
The measuring instrument must then immediately be brought back within the
permissible ambient temperature of 0 ... 50 °C [32 ... 122 °F].
4.8 Temperature measurements
For the temperature measurement of the digital thermometer, the correct immersion
depth in the medium to be measured is important.
At high temperatures, this can in turn influence the case temperature on the handle.
The maximum immersion depth in the medium to be measured depends on the
following factors:

> 140 °C [284 °F]
With cold media, < 80 °C [176 °F], the sensor can be immersed up to 10 mm [0.39 in]
below the edge of the case.
