Product Information
The SC 212 is a maximum thermometer, which means that the highest temperature is displayed after approximately 15 seconds. It is designed for measuring animal body temperatures. The most recent measured value is always saved, and the device uses an LR03 battery that is good for 2000 measurements.

Safety Information
The SC 212 is suitable only for measuring animal body temperatures. The thermometer contains small parts (battery, etc.) which could be hazardous if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children.

Device Description
The device has an I/O button for taking measurements. If you keep the I/O button pressed for longer than three seconds, the last measured value will be shown on the display. As soon as you release the I/O button, the device is ready to take measurements.

Cleaning and Disinfection
The veterinary thermometer is watertight, which means it can be cleaned by wiping with disinfection tissues or a moist cloth containing disinfection agents. Please note that being watertight does not mean the thermometer is also tight in aggressive disinfection or solvent solutions.

Product Usage

  1. Press and hold the I/O button for at least three seconds to turn on the thermometer.
  2. Wait for the device to display the last measured value if desired.
  3. Place the thermometer in the desired location for measuring the animal’s body temperature.
  4. Wait for approximately 15 seconds for the highest temperature to be displayed.
  5. Read and record the displayed temperature.
  6. Turn off the thermometer by pressing and holding the I/O button for at least three seconds.

Device description

Operating manual

  • Press the I/O button to switch on. A short signal tone shows that the device is in the “switched on” condition.
  • A segment test takes place simultaneously (checks all display segments and carries out an internal function test (see under “Function test”)
  • After this, if the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is less than 32°C, the display shows an “L“ and “°C“.
  • After around one second, the “°C“ starts to blink. The „L“ stands for low (less than 32°C). The current temperature is continuously displayed during measurement, and the “°C” blinks during the entire measurement time. The measurement is completed after approx. 15 seconds.
  • After the measurement is completed, the temperature value measured remains in the display until the SC 212 is switched off. To turn the device off after use, press the I/O button briefly. The signal tone will again be sounded. If the device is not switched off, a signal tone is sounded after approx. 3 minutes and the device then switches off automatically.

Function test
The thermometer is checked for correct functioning automatically every time it is switched on. All segments are displayed, and then L°C. If a failure (measurement inaccuracy) is recognized, “ERR“ (Error) is shown in the display.

Display of last measured value
If you keep the I/O button pressed for longer than three seconds, the last measured value will be shown in the display. As soon as you release the I/O button, the device is ready to take measurements.

Cleaning and disinfection
