REVIEWING STORED DATA
The downloaded data is stored in a comma-delimited
CSV file on the flash drive. The filename naming conven tion is “D1D2D3D4D5D6D7R1.CSV” where D1 through
D7 are the last seven digits of the thermometer’s unique
ID number and R1 is the revision of the file starting with the letter “A”.
If more than one file is written from the same thermometer to the USB flash drive, the revision letter will be incre mented in order to preserve the previously downloaded files.
The data file can be opened in any software package supporting comma-delimited files including spreadsheet software (Excel) and text editors.
The file will contain the thermometer unique ID number, the most recent ten temperature events, and all stored temperature readings with date and time stamps.
Note: All data stored in Celsius (°C) and date format is
MM/DD/YYYY.
DISPLAY MESSAGES
If no buttons are pressed and LL.LL appears on the display, this indicates that the temperature being measured is outside of the temperature range of the unit, or that the probe is disconnected or damaged.
BENCH STAND
The unit is supplied with a bench stand located on the back. To use the bench stand, locate the small opening at the bottom back of the unit. Place your fingernail into the opening and flip the stand out. To close the stand, simply snap it shut.
POWER
The thermometer should be powered at all times with supplied AC adapter. In the event of a power failure, the backup batteries will power the thermometer for one week. A low battery symbol on the display indicates the
AC adaptor has failed and the thermometer is running on the backup batteries.
BACKUP BATTERY REPLACEMENT
To replace the Backup Battery, remove the battery cover, located on the back of the unit by sliding it down. Remove the exhausted batteries and replace with two (2) new AAA alkaline batteries. Insert the new batteries with the proper polarity as indicated by the illustration in the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
Replacing the batteries WILL clear the minimum/maxi mum memories and high/low alarm settings. However, replacing the batteries WILL NOT clear the time-of- day/ date settings.
STATIC SUPPRESSOR INSTALLATION
Static generated, radio frequency can affect any cable through the air or by physical contact. To protect against radio frequency, install a suppressor onto your thermometers cable to absorb radio frequency as follows:
Lay the cable along the center of the suppressor with the connector to your left.
Loop the right end of the cable under the suppressor and back up again laying the cable along the center of the suppressor.
Carefully, snap the two halves together with the looped cable routed through the center.
