INTR DUCTI N
Thank you for purchasing General Tools &
Instruments’ DTR900 Inside-Outside Thermometer
with MIN/MAX Memory. Please read this user’s
manual carefully and thoroughly before using the
product.
The DTR900 is an affordable instrument that is
accurate enough (±1.8°F) for residential or office
monitoring of indoor and remote temperatures. Its
ability to store and recall two sets of maximum and
minimum temperatures—one sensed by the
display unit (installed indoors) and the other
sensed by a probe at the end of a 6.5 ft. (2m) long
cable—makes the DTR900 suitable for household
use or for monitoring the temperature of a
greenhouse or a food market’s walk-in and reach-
in refrigeration cases. In a food market, for
example, the display unit could be mounted
outside a refrigeration case and the external
sensor could be placed inside the case. In such an
installation, recalled time- and date-stamped
minimum and maximum temperature readings

SETUP INSTRUCTI NS
ACTIVATE THE UNIT
To begin, remove the plastic film protecting the
display. Holding the unit in your hand with the back
facing you, open the battery compartment by
pushing its cover down (in the direction of the
arrow on it) and away from the unit. Remove the
external sensor cable from the large well of the
compartment so it hangs loosely below the unit,
but do not remove the twist tie keeping the cable
in a bundle.
Note from Fig. 3 that an “AAA” battery (callout 11)
is already installed in the battery compartment.
To extend the battery’s life and to protect the unit
from possible battery leakage during storage, the
unit ships with a plastic tab (callout 12) between
the battery’s anode and the metal plate it connects
7
Figure 2 shows the back of the unit with the
battery compartment closed. Note:
• The °F/°C switch (callout 5) at the top of the
case.
• The two hanger holes (callouts 6 and 7) at the
top corners of the case. Use these to wall-mount
the unit.
• The rectangular recess (callout 8) near the
bottom of the case. Use this recess to raise the
unit’s kickstand for mounting on a horizontal
surface.

15 seconds, the unit’s software assumes that
the displayed time and date are correct as
shown, so it will stop the display from flashing
and begin operating the unit in dual
temperature display mode. nce the display
has stopped flashing, you cannot set or adjust
an individual time or date field. You must
remove and reinstall the battery and reset all
four fields in order.
CHOOSE YOUR TEMPERATURE
UNIT & TIME AND DATE FORMAT
The position of the °F/°C switch on the back of
the DTR900 (callout 5 of Fig. 2) determines more
than just whether the unit displays temperatures
in Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C) units. It also
determines the format of displayed times and
dates.
If the switch is in the °F position:
• The DTR900 uses a 12-hour clock and the TIME
display indicates whether the reading is AM or
PM. For example, pressing the MIN/MAX button
9
to on the right side of the unit (marked by a
+ sign). This tab must be removed by the end
user to activate the unit.

Before removing the activation tab, make sure you
know the current date and have access to an
accurate clock. Once you remove the tab (applying
battery power to the unit), the TIME display at right
will start flashing, indicating that it is waiting for
an input. You will then have 15 seconds to begin
setting the minutes field. You also will have
15 seconds to finish setting each of the three
remaining fields (hour, month and day) in order.
If you allow any field to flash for more than
8
햽햾
SET THE TIME AND DATE
Flip the unit over in your hand so its front faces you
and note that the minutes field of the TIME display
at right is flashing. Press the MIN/MAX button as
many times as necessary to advance the minutes
reading to the correct value. Then press the
IN/DATE button to store the setting.
Note that storing the minutes setting causes the
hour field of the TIME display to begin flashing.
Without delay, press the MIN/MAX button as many
times as necessary to advance the hour reading to
the correct value (including AM or PM if you have
chosen °F units). Then press the IN/DATE button to
store the setting.
Immediately after the hour setting is stored, the
month field of the DATE display at lower left will
begin flashing. (If you have chosen °F units, the
month field will be on the left; if you have chosen
°C units, the month field will be on the right).
Without delay, press the MIN/MAX button as many
times as necessary to advance the month to the
correct value. Then press the IN/DATE button to
store the setting.

when the display is flashing “11:XX AM”
advances the display to “12:XX PM”.
• The DTR900 will show the date in a “Month-
Day” format (as in the U.S., China and Japan).
If the switch is in the °C position:
• The DTR900 uses a 24-hour clock (also called
military or railway time). For example, pressing
the MIN/MAX button when the TIME display is
flashing “12:XX” advances the display to
“13:XX”.
• The DTR900 will show the date in a
“Day-Month” format (as in South America
and most of Europe).
Move the °F/°C switch to the position you prefer.
Then—if you are prepared to enter the time and
date quickly—remove the tab between the
battery’s + terminal and its connector. This
activates the unit. You must then begin within
15 seconds to…

EXTEND AND SECURE THE
EXTERNAL SENSOR CABLE
To complete setup, the metal tip of the external
sensor cable must be placed in a different
environment than the display if you wish to
simultaneously monitor two different temperatures.
To install the sensor, remove the twist tie keeping
the external sensor cable in a bundle. Then extend
the cable under a window or through a hole in a
wall or frame. Attached to the cable is an -shaped
piece of metal with loops at both ends. Detach this
component from the cable and slip the larger loop
over the white plastic cylinder that serves as a
socket for the metal sensor. Secure the tip of the
cable by placing a nail or screw through the
smaller loop of the metal piece and attaching
it to the frame or apron of a window or door or to
an outside wall.
13
Immediately after the month setting is stored, the
day field of the DATE display will begin flashing.
(The field will be on the right if you have chosen
the °F setting, and on the left if you have chosen
°C.) Without delay, press the MIN/MAX button as
many times as necessary to advance the day to
the correct value. Then press the IN/DATE button
to store the setting. Once you have stored the day
setting, the UT display at upper left will
automatically begin tracking temperature. Until you
extend the external sensor cable (see the next
section), the UT display will track the inside
temperature, as sensed by the DTR900 display
unit’s internal sensor.
Once you have set the time and date, flip the
DTR900 over in your hand and carefully thread the
external sensor cable first through the cutout on
either side of the battery compartment cover, and
then through the slot in the bottom of the well on
the same side. Then snap the battery compartment
cover back into place, first at the top and then at
the bottom, squeezing the bottom of the unit’s case
to make the cover fit.
12
To recall time- and date-stamped maximum
and minimum inside and outside tempera tures,
use the MIN/MAX button as follows:
• Press the MIN/MAX button once and the upper
left display will show the maximum remote
temperature measured since the battery was
installed or the unit was reset (see below),
indicated by the words MAX and UT. The lower
left and right displays will indicate the date and
time when this maximum temperature occurred.
The three display readings
will remain on-screen for
15 seconds. After 15 seconds, the three displays
will return to the “normal” configuration.
• Press the MIN/MAX twice (within 15 seconds)
and the upper left display will show the
minimum remote temperature measured since
the battery was installed or the unit was reset,
indicated by the words MIN and UT. The lower
left and right displays will indicate the date and
time when this minimum
temperature occurred.
