Kettle Thermometer
Replacement
Calibration
NOTE: The thermometer can only be replaced while the material inside the kettle is warm. If material inside the kettle is cold, it will adhere to the probe and cause it to separate from the thermometer once it is unscrewed.
1.
Empty material from kettle until material level is just below the thermometer probe (162) (approximately
1 inch of material).
2.
Unscrew thermometer (38) from kettle coupling.
NOTE: Look inside the kettle to make sure the probe is rotating at the same rate as the thermometer as you unscrew it. If the probe is sticking, use the hand torch to heat the probe and material so that the probe can rotate freely.
Installation
1.
Apply pipe sealant to thermometer (38) threads.
2.
Install new thermometer into kettle coupling and tighten. NOTE: Make sure the face of the thermometer is position toward the front of the unit for optimal viewing (an approximately 15 degree angle).
To Check Kettle Thermometer Calibration:
1.
Move ThermoLazer
™
to an area with no wind.
2.
Turn temperature control to 400° F (204° C).
3.
Agitate material for 4 to 5 minutes.
4.
After control has reached steady state temperature and burners do not cycle more than once per minute, insert remote calibrated temperature probe in material and directly adjacent kettle temperature control probe.
5.
Compare temperature of remote calibrated temperature probe to thermometer.
6.
If kettle thermometer is lower than the remote calibrated temperature probe, turn adjusting screw counterclockwise.
