Using the Thermometer
High & Low Records
The thermometer records maximum and minimum temperature records for each
sensor. These readings reflect the highest and lowest temperatures recorded
since the batteries were inserted or since the CLR button was last pressed.
To reset the MAX / MIN records, press and release the “CLR” button once.
This clears the records from both sensors.
Programmable Alarms
Programmable alarms notify you audibly and visually when temperatures
exceed your preset minimum / maximum temperature range. An alert is
triggered when a temperature is out of range for longer than 15 minutes. This
prevents false alarms due to the fridge/freezer door being held open while
new items are being loaded/unloaded.
The default temperature alarm settings for Sensor #1 (refrigerator thermome-
ter) are minimum 33ºF / maximum 40ºF. The default temperature alarm settings
for Sensor #2 (freezer thermometer) are minimum -22ºF / maximum 0ºF.
To customize temperature alarms:
1. Press and HOLD the “ ” button until the Current Temperature disappears
and the maximum temperature alarm setting is shown in its place.
2. Press the “ + “ or “ – “ buttons to increase or decrease the maximum
temperature alarm setting.
3. Press the “ ” button to confirm the maximum temperature alarm setting.
The unit will beep and the minimum temperature alarm setting wil be shown.
4. Press the “ + “ or “ – “ buttons to increase or decrease the minimum
temperature alarm setting.
5. Press the “ ” button to confirm the minimum temperature alarm setting.
6. Press the “ ” button to turn ON/OFF the alarm. The “
“ icon on the
the display indicates that the alarm is ON.
For Alarm #2, repeat steps 1 through 5 using the “ ” button.
NOTE: When thermometer is in normal operating mode (not in alarm setup
mode), the MAX/MIN readings display the highest/lowest temperature
recordings.
