Note: The probe type letter must match the probe type that is connected to the HT3100, or reading
errors will occur. Wait five seconds. To toggle the temperature display from whole degrees (“XXX”)
to tenths of a degree (“XXX.X”) press and release the MODE button. Wait five seconds. The display
will show “Setup Complete’. The HT3100 will reinitialize, allowing verification of the new setup
information.
Note: If the word “Setup” does not appear using the above procedure, then the device is locked by
the HACCP Manager. If the Setup Information is locked, it cannot be changed without being
connected to the computer. (For more details on Setup Information, see “Programming a new
device” in “Using The HACCP Manager Software”.)
Probe Calibration
When changing probes, it is recommended that the new probe be calibrated at 32°F (°C).
Place the tip of the probe into 32°F. With the HT3100 turned on and measuring temperature...
• Press and hold the MODE button for five seconds. The upper line of the display will show
‘Calibrate’.
• Release the MODE button and press the RECORD button. The upper line of the display will
show ‘Done’.
As a safety measure, if the temperature reading on the HT3100 is not within ±5° of 32°F (27°F to
37°F) the calibration adjustment is not allowed, and the word ‘Abort’ is shown instead of ‘Done’
during the above procedure. If the reading is not within ±5° of 32°F, the HT3100 or probe may
require service.
If necessary, the original factory calibration can be restored to the HT3100 by the following method:
• With the HT3100 turned on, press and hold the MAX ALARM button for five seconds. The
upper line of the display will show ‘Restore’ then ‘Done’, and a short beep will confirm factory
calibration has been restored.
Later, when the data is downloaded to the HACCP Manager software, the calibration record will be
shown on the computer screen in blue; ‘Zero’ indicates probe calibration, ‘Factory’ indicates restore
factory settings (see “Temperature Data Window” in “Using The HACCP Manager Software”.)
Hint: A properly prepared ice slurry is a reliable way to create a bath close to 32°F (0°C). Use
crushed ice and just enough water to fill the gaps between the pieces of ice (distilled water is best).
Allow ten minutes for the bath temperature to stabilize. Position the probe tip in the center of the
bath, not near the side or edge.
Replace Battery
When the battery that powers the HT3100 gets near the end of its life, the display will show “Low
Battery” each time a record is stored. When this message first appears there is still enough battery
life available to run the HT3100 for several hours, but it is recommended that the battery be
replaced as soon as possible. If the battery power drops too low, data cannot be stored reliably, and
the display will show ‘Replace Battery’ and will not permit further use until the battery is replaced.
Use a straight blade screwdriver to turn the battery door lock 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. The door
will hinge outward and detach from the HT3100 case body. Replace the battery using a NEDA 1604
or equivalent.
Troubleshooting
The most common problem occurs when your computer’s serial port is being used by another
device (like a modem or a bar code scanner, etc.) or program (like banking software that uses your
modem) at the same time as the HACCP Manager device is trying to use it. You must deactivate the
other device so that the HACCP Manager device is the only one using the port at the moment. If
you cannot determine the cause, contact Technical Service at Cooper-Atkins Corporation for
assistance (See “Technical Assistance” section for the number to call.)
