SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION  
®
The OMEGA Model K-79 Series Pocket Thermometer is a small,  
mechanical (non-electronic) thermometer that is accurate, rugged and light  
in weight. The clear, easy to read 1" dial has a pointer that is directly driven  
by the sensitive bi-metal helix coil located in the shaft. The 0.142" diameter,  
5" stainless steel probe has a needle tip for penetrating semi-solid materials  
such as fruits and meats. The pointed probe is supplied with a tubular  
pocket case complete with a pocket clip and holder loop. (See Figure 1)

slowly and carefully to avoid bending. Do not hold the head when  
inserting, always hold the stem.  
CAUTION  
Do not place a "Dial Temp" thermometer in contact with a  
material where electrical voltage potential is present.  
SECTION 4 CALIBRATION  
OMEGA K-79 Series Pocket Thermometers are factory calibrated. The  
alloys used in the bi-metal element determine the span calibration and  
are not adjustable. The dial head itself, however, can be reset. This is  
done at ambient temperature, where the pointer remains stable, and the  
dial is adjusted.  
To reset the dial:  
1. Determine the room temperature by using a reference thermometer  
of known accuracy.  
2. Firmly hold the hex nut at the base of the dial with a 7/16” wrench.  
3. With your other hand, firmly grip the perimeter of the dial. Slowly  
turn the dial head until the reading corresponds to room the  
temperature.
