No button press for 15 seconds while viewing the alarm events will trigger the thermometer to return to the current temperature display.
Note: If no alarm event has occurred for the selected probe channel, the thermometer will display “LLL.LL” on each line.

DATA LOGGING OPERATION

The thermometer will continuously log temperature readings for both probe channels into permanent memory at user-specified intervals. The total memory capacity is 525,600 data points. Each data point contains the temperature reading for P1, the temperature reading for P2, and the date and time of occurrence.
Note: All stored data is in Celsius (°C) and MM/DD/YYYY date format.
Note: DO NOT leave the USB Flash Drive inserted in the unit while data logging. The unit cannot continuously write to a USB.
The thermometer will also store the most recent 10 alarm events. Each alarm event data point contains the probe channel which alarmed, the alarm set point that was triggered, the date and time the channel reading went out of range, and the date and time the channel reading returned to within range.
VIEWING THE MEMORY CAPACITY
Slide the MEM VIEW switch to the ON position. The first line will display the current percentage of memory full. The second line will display the number of days remaining before memory is full at the current logging interval. The third line will display the current logging interval.
CLEARING THE MEMORY

2. Upon inserting flash drive, “MEM” will appear on the right side of display indicating that data is downloading. If “MEM” does not appear, gently wiggle the flash drive while inserting until “MEM” appears and the data begins downloading. Once “MEM” disappears, the device will beep, indicating download is complete.

Note: Do not remove USB drive until download is complete.
Note: DO NOT leave USB Flash Drive inserted into unit. Insert, DOWNLOAD, and then remove. The unit cannot continuously write to a USB.

REVIEWING STORED DATA

Downloaded data is stored in a comma-delimited CSV file on a flash drive. The filename naming convention is “D1D2D3D4D5D6D7R1.CSV” where D1 through D7 are the last seven digits of the thermometer’s unique ID number and R1 is the revision of the file starting with letter “A”.
If more than one file is written from the same thermometer to a USB flash drive, the revision letter will be incremented in order to preserve previously downloaded files.
The data file can be opened in any software package supporting comma-delimited files including spreadsheet software (Excel ® ) and text editors.
The file will contain the thermometer’s unique ID number, the most recent ten temperature events, and all stored temperature readings with date and time stamps.
Note: All stored data is in Celsius (°C) and MM/DD/YYYY date format.
DISPLAY MESSAGES
If no buttons are pressed and LL.LL appears on the display, this indicates that the temperature being measured is outside of the temperature range of the unit, or that the probe is disconnected or damaged.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit is missing segments in the LCD, reading erratically, or if data download encounters an error, the unit must be reset.
RESETTING THE UNIT

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the battery indicator begins to flash, it is time to replace the batteries on the unit. To replace the battery, remove the battery cover, located on the back of the unit by sliding it down. Remove exhausted batteries and replace them with two (2) new AAA batteries. Insert new batteries. Replace the battery cover.
Note: Replacing the batteries WILL clear the minimum/ maximum memories and high/low alarm settings. However, replacing the batteries WILL NOT clear the time-of-day/date settings or stored temperature data.
STATIC SUPPRESSOR INSTALLATION
Static-generated radio frequency can affect any cable through the air or by physical contact. To protect against radio frequency, install the included suppressor onto the unit’s cable to absorb radio frequency as follows:

1. Lay the cable along the center of the suppressor with the connector to your left.
   

2. Loop the right end of the cable under the suppressor and back up again laying the cable along the center of the suppressor.

3. Carefully, snap two halves together with looped cable routed through the center
   

4. This completes installation of the suppressor.
