INSTRUMENT OPERATION
The instrument is switched on by unfolding the probe and turned off by folding the probe until fully located into the rubber probe retainer. The probe should not be rotated more than 180 degrees as damage will occur. It is recommended to store the probe in the closed position when not in use. When opening the probe, Thermapen Blue will then perform a battery check and flash twice signifying battery level.
Amber – battery ok
Red – battery low
No lights – battery flat
The battery status can also be viewed using HACCP LE on a phone/tablet.
Apply the tip of the probe to the substance, medium, or surface to be measured. The sensor is located at the tip of the probe, therefore; the minimum depth insertion should be 0.12″ (3mm
The probe tip is very sharp and caution should be taken when using. Care should also be taken when closing the probe after taking hot temperatures, as the probe may remain hot.
CONNECTION
Use a Bluetooth® enabled iOS or Android™ phone or tablet with HACCP LE installed to connect to the instrument. HACCP LE can be downloaded free from the Apple App Store or on Google Play™. Open HACCP LE and connect to the instrument via the Devices screen, use the instrument’s serial number to select the correct device from the list. When connecting/disconnecting, the instrument’s amber light flashes rapidly 5 times. Once connected, HACCP LE will begin receiving and displaying measurement data
TRANSMIT BUTTON
MEASURE/TRANSMIT – Press to measure and transmit result via Bluetooth wireless technology (Pressing when connected flashes an amber light).
STATUS/TRANSMIT LED – When connected to a phone/tablet an amber LED flashes every 10 seconds or when the button is pressed.
FAULTY PROBE – If the probe has developed an ‘open circuit’ fault, HACCP
LE will display ‘Err’.
°C/°F – selectable via the settings screen within HACCP LE.
INSTRUMENT CLEANING
Clean the instrument regularly with an anti-bacterial probe wipe to avoid potential food-borne bacteria growth.
WARNING – IPA and other solvents may cause damage to the case of this instrument.
- Do NOT pry containers, puncture packages, or lift food items with the probe.
- Do NOT expose the thermometer body to temperatures above 122°F (50°C).
- Do NOT expose the tip or probe shaft to temperatures above 572°F (300°C).
- Do NOT stab, jab, or force probe tip into any solid medium. Do NOT force probe tip into frozen food.
- Do NOT allow oils or food to collect on thermometer body. Clean frequently with sanitizing wipe
- If the amber light starts flashing rapidly during startup, Thermapen Blue us updating firmware. Please leave the probe open and wait for the rapidly flashing lights to stop before use.
