Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Display: The LCD simultaneously shows the current temperature, minimum recorded temperature (MIN), and maximum recorded temperature (MAX).
• Units: Use the 'UNITS' button to toggle between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature scales.
• Memory View: The 'MEM VIEW' function allows review of stored data.

Data Logging

• The device features rolling memory, capable of retaining the most recent 525,600 temperature observations.
• Data Transfer: To transfer recorded data, insert the provided USB flash drive into the unit's USB port. The data will be saved as a CSV file, accessible on any computer without special software.
• Clear Memory: After downloading data and alarm events, the memory can be cleared to continue recording new data. Refer to the device's specific buttons (e.g., 'CLEAR') for this function.

Alarm Functions

• The thermometer allows setting limits for and storing up to 10 unique alarm events.
• Setting Alarms: Use the 'ALARM' and 'SELECT/ADVANCE' buttons to set desired high and low temperature alarm thresholds.
• Smart-Alarm Function: The Smart-Alarm provides both visual and audible alerts. It continues to alert even if conditions return to the normal temperature range, ensuring that any excursion is noted.
• Silence Alarm: An 'ALARM SILENCE' button is available to temporarily mute audible alerts.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the unit clean with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the main unit in water. The bullet probe is submersible and can be cleaned as needed.
• Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator appears or the unit fails to power on, replace the batteries. Refer to the battery compartment for the correct battery type.
• Probe Care: Handle the probe and its cable with care to prevent damage. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the cable.
