Introduzione
This manual provides essential instructions for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your Cooper-Atkins Type K Solid Simulator Thermocouple, Model 52048-K. This device is designed to accurately simulate food product temperature within refrigeration environments, including refrigerators, freezers, walk-ins, and delivery trucks. It does not measure air temperature directly but rather reflects the temperature of food products, supporting effective food safety programs.
Figura 1: Cooper-Atkins Type K Solid Simulator Thermocouple. This image displays the complete thermocouple unit, featuring a yellow Type K connector on the left, a thin dark cable extending from it, and a white cylindrical solid simulator on the right. The simulator is designed to mimic the thermal mass of food products.
Istituisci
- Unpack u dispusitivu: Carefully remove the Cooper-Atkins Type K Solid Simulator from its packaging.
- Inspeccione per danni: Before use, visually inspect the thermocouple and simulator for any signs of physical damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Cunnette si à u strumentu: Plug the yellow Type K connector of the solid simulator into a compatible Type K Thermocouple Instrument (sold separately). Ensure a secure connection.
- Placement: Position the white solid simulator within the refrigerator, freezer, or other cold storage unit where food products are stored. For accurate readings, place it among the food items, not directly in the airflow or against the walls.
The solid simulator is designed to take on the refrigeration temperature as food does, providing a representative temperature reading for your food safety monitoring.
Istruzzioni di funziunamentu
Once properly connected to a Type K Thermocouple Instrument and placed in the desired environment, the solid simulator will immediately begin to reflect the temperature of its surroundings, mimicking the thermal response of food products.
- Temperatura di lettura: Observe the temperature reading on your connected Type K Thermocouple Instrument. This reading represents the simulated food product temperature.
- Monitoraghju: Regularly monitor the temperature displayed to ensure compliance with food safety standards. The simulator's response time is designed to be similar to actual food items.
- Cambiamenti Ambientali: The simulator will adapt to changing ambient conditions within the refrigeration unit, providing continuous, relevant temperature data.
Mantenimentu
- Pulizia: The solid simulator is made of FDA compliant material. To clean, simply wipe the unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the entire unit, especially the connector, in water.
- Conservazione: When not in use, store the thermocouple in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Ispezione: Periodically inspect the cable and connector for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage.
Risoluzione di prublemi
- No Reading on Instrument:
- Ensure the Type K connector is fully and securely plugged into the thermocouple instrument.
- Verify that the thermocouple instrument is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Check the cable for any visible breaks or damage.
- Letture inaccurate:
- Confirm that the solid simulator is placed correctly within the refrigeration unit, surrounded by food items, and not exposed to direct airflow or extreme localized temperatures.
- Allow sufficient time for the simulator to stabilize to the ambient temperature, especially after initial placement or significant temperature changes.
- Test the thermocouple with another known working Type K instrument if available, or test the instrument with another known working Type K probe to isolate the issue.
