New Countdown timer
The MM7000 range now has a new built-in 1 & 2 minute timer function.
This is to help the user comply with the HSE ACoP L8 requirement that
hot water run at a tap reaches the required temperature within one
minute and the cold water within two minutes. This feature is designed
to ensure that the correct temperature is being taken when carrying out
hot and cold water checks. When the timer is activated, a counter will
appear at the top right of the instrument display but the instrument will
only record the temperature once the time count is complete.
The timer is activated by using a barcode pre-fixed with either ‘--1’ for
one minute or ‘--2’ for two minute timer. For example:-
For one minute timer (hot water) the barcode could be-
For two minute timer (cold water) the barcode could be-
To take your readings using the timer, first scan your barcode to
activate the timer followed by your location/asset barcode. Hold your
temperature probe under the running water. Once the timer count is
complete, the temperature will be recorded alongside the location
barcode together with the time and date.
Alternatively, you can prefix your location barcodes with ‘--1’ or ‘--2’.
This will start the timer in the same way but will automatically log the
temperature data against the location barcode on completion of the
timer count. If you are unsure whether your MM7100-2D has this
feature or if you would like to upgrade, please feel free to contact our
