Sensor Usage
Caution: To avoid damaging the sensor box, do not put the
Quad Temperature Sensor in water, liquids, chemicals,
ovens, or fire at any time.
Tip: If the Quad Temperature Sensor is used to take freezer
measurements, put the probe(s) in the freezer but deep the
sensor box outside of the freezer.
Tip: The Stainless Steel Temperature
Probe is slightly smaller than the holes
in some rubber stoppers. In order to
create a better fit, use a piece of the
polyurethane tubing included with the
sensor.
Tip: The tip of a Fast Response Tem-
perature Probe can be held in place
using one of the adhesive disk covers
included with the sensor. Remove one
of the disks from the sheet and
remove the protecting paper to reveal
the adhesive. Place the tip of the
probe in the center of the disk. Place
the disk on the item being measured.
