How to change the Over (Under) Temperature Allowance 

 

The 

Over T

  LED is lit whenever the chamber temperature is either higher or lower 

than the set point by an “allowance” (

T alarm = T set +/- T allowance

).   The factory default 

is 10º C. For Example - if the Set Point is -60º and the default allowance is used, then 
the 

Over T

 alarm occurs at T>-50º  or T<-70º. This allowance can be changed from 1º 

C to 50º C. 

o

 

Small values ensure tight temperature control during long storage. 

o

 

Large values can be used to reduce the number of Over Temperature alarms 
when the freezer is being open and closed frequently. 

 

This can only be changed when the 

Over T

  LED is glowing. 

o

 

To view the allowance 

 

Press both buttons 

2

 and 

3

 briefly to see the current allowance setting. 

 

It will be display with the letter 

A

,  such as  

A 10

o

 

To change the allowance 

 

Press and hold both buttons 

2

 and 

3

  and then 

 / 

 

 

The allowance value will change by 1 degree increments  

o

 

To dismiss the allowance display 

 

Either press and hold both buttons 

2

 and 

3

 briefly,  OR 

 

The display times-out after approximately 8 seconds. 

To Silence the Temperature Alarm 

 

Press the button beneath the 

Over T  

 indicator light until the display shows 

1.0 h

,  then 

use the down button to set the time to any negative time (e.g. 

-0.1 h

).  This will turn 

OFF the audible alarm. 

 

The 

Over T  

indicator LED will always glow whenever the chamber T is out of range. 

 

You can turn the silenced alarm back on by either 

o

 

Resetting the postpone time to a positive number 

o
