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 around 25 seconds.

After the measurement is completed, the temperature value measured remains in the display until the SC 1080 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 around 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 recognised, “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 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. Please note that being watertight does not mean that the thermometer is also tight in aggressive disinfection or solvent solutions! The thermometer can be cleaned by wiping with any of the disinfection tissues listed below or with a moist cloth containing any of the following disinfection agents.
