CAUTION
: The preset alarm temperatures that you are setting are lower than the ambient or air
temperature. Therefore, when the alarm are enabled they will sound. Do the following:
Silencing the Alarm
– press the ALARM button on the front of the unit to silence.
Disabling the Visual Alarm
– press the ALARM button until CLR will appear on the display. ALRN
will continue to display until the logger & probe(s) have been positioned in the refrigerator and or
freezer.
To setup Alarm Features, Click on the Alarms Tab
a. Check Alarm Enabled to display ALRN across the display if temperatures go out of the desired
ranges.
b. Check Buzzer Enabled for an audible alarm if temperatures go out of the desired ranges.
c. Click on Update to save these changes. To disable these alarms, click on the checkmark and choose
update.
d. Alarm Delay: allows delay of alarm notification in minutes up to 60 minutes. Enter the number of
minutes and click on update.
Note: These alarm features apply to both channels.
The logger is now sampling and ready for use. A Delta (
∆
) symbol will appear on the display to confirm
logging. You will have ambient temperatures until you position the probes inside the refrigerator or freezer.
Account for this movement when evaluating the data.
Mount the logger and position the probes. Allow time for the probes to display readings. Press the
ALARM
button down until CLR appears on the display. The alarms are now reset.
