Fieldpiece SPK1

I know this is not an expensive tool but while I was using it today it started to display LLL and not do anything. I changed the battery and still nothing. Does that mean it is deaded?

You can swap it out at your local distributor. Just have them call us for an RMA number when you go in.

I use the SPK1 all the time. The few I have managed NOT to lose long enough for this to happen, I took apart and the wires to the probe had broken at the pivot point, most likely from opening/closing one to many times.

If I don't lose one, I usually get about 1 to 1 1/2 years out of them before i get a LLL on the screen (and I use them several times a day).

All that being said I still love the SPK1. The folding feature is great for wedging it in a duct, and allowing the temp to stabilize while doing something else. I know It lasts longer than other pocket thermometers because the probe folds away. I have broken so many where the metal probe meets the plastic housing.
