FEATURES
 Data Logger displays current temperature.
 The unit will provide a visual and audio alert when temperature rises above or falls below the high and low set points.
 The min/max feature is designed to monitor and store the highest and lowest readings until the memory is cleared, or
removal of battery.
 The temperature sensor is enclosed in a glycol-filled bottle, protecting it from rapid temperature changes when
refrigerator/freezer door is opened.
 Low battery alert function (battery symbol flashes)
 Push button to select oC or oF temperature display
 Measuring temperature range -30 ~ 70 oC (or -22 ~ 158 oF)
 Accuracy : ± 0.5 oC (-10 ~ 10 oC or 14 ~ 50 oF), in other ranges ± 1 oC ( or ± 2 oF)
 User defined logging interval
 Powered by a 5VDC power adapter
 Rechargeable Li-ion battery to record data up to 20 hours during a power-failure event
 6 ft (185 cm) probe-connecting cable

HIGH AND LOW ALARM
By default, the high and low alarm settings are 8 oC and 2 oC respectively. To reset high alarm and low alarm
temperature settings, follow instructions below.
This is the high temperature limit. The current temperature is considered out-of-range if
High Alarm Temperature
the probe reads a temperature equal to or above the high temperature limit.
Setting
From the main display screen:
Hold the MODE key for 3 seconds to enter High Alarm temperature setting mode. Use the up and
down arrows to adjust temperature accordingly.
Press MODE key ONCE to confirm the setting.
Low Alarm Temperature Setting
This is the low temperature limit. The current temperature is considered out-of-range if
the probe reads a temperature equal to or below the low temperature limit.
From the main display screen:
Hold the MODE key for 3 seconds, then press the Mode key ONCE to enter Low Alarm
temperature setting mode. Use the up and down arrows to adjust temperature accordingly.
Press MODE key ONCE to confirm the settings.
When an alarm condition occurs
will appear on the display along with a beeping sound to alert user. While the beeping sound lasts
for 60 seconds, the high and low indicators will remain on display even when the unit gets back in range. Press RESET to clear. Press
any key ONCE to stop the beeping sound.
Set the high and low alarm temperature limits above and below the refrigerator/freezer operating temperature to prevent
false alarms. Refrigerators are designed to run between 2-8 °C (36-46 °F) while freezers run below -15 °C (5 °F).
Battery Life
The unit comes with a rechargeable lithium battery. In case of power failure the average battery life is about 20 hours when fully charged.
To achieve longer battery life during operation, use a less frequent sample rate.

To Use
 Once the Data Logger has been programmed, place the temperature sensor (in glycol bottle) in the location to be monitored, such as
inside a refrigerator or freezer. Data Logger may be placed on top of unit with LCD display easily visible and the alarm audible. Data Logger
displays internal temperature of unit being monitored, as well as maximum and minimum temperatures reached. The Data Logger’s
maximum and minimum readings reflect the highest and lowest temperatures since the battery was inserted or since the RESET button
was last pressed.
 If the temperature measurement rises above or falls below the set temperature range, the alarm will sound. To silence the alarm, press
any key ONCE.
Data Logging / Recording Function
In the Data Logger Setting menu user confirms time, date, and sampling rate.
