LIMITED WARRANTY

The SysCal™ 93025 system is backed by a 1-year probe and thermocouple
instrument Warranty on defects in workmanship and materials.

Any instrument which proves to be defective in material or workmanship within

1-YEAR WARRANTY

one year of original purchase will be repaired or replaced without charge upon
receipt of the unit prepaid with proof of purchase. This Limited Warranty does
not cover damage in shipment or failure caused by tampering, obvious
carelessness, or abuse, and is the purchaser’s sole remedy.

RETURN/ REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Because the individual probes and thermocouple work in tandem to form a
calibrated system, parts cannot be replaced individually.

REPAIR RETURN
If damaged, all probes and thermocouples must be returned together for repair
and recalibration. Limited Warranty terms apply.

SERVICE RETURN

For annual recalibration service and re-issue of certication, return all probes

and thermocouples to the address below.

CALIBRATION PROCESS

93025 TROUBLESHOOTING

SysCal™ CALIBRATION PROCESS

The Syscal calibration process was designed to monitor the accuracy of a previously

installed TempTrak® transmitter and its modied* Solid Simulator Probe. This process will

be used with the transmitter and solid simulator probe connected, measured as a unit, and
in place within the use environment.

Calibration of the transmitter and solid simulator is achieved by comparing the documented
readings from the transmitter and solid simulator with the reading from the SysCal™
35025 Thermocouple and the 50219-K Probe. This reading is referred to as the reference
standard.

The Total System Accuracy (TSA) of SysCal is ±0.5°F (±0.3°C). A certicate of calibration

from an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory is also supplied. This accuracy will provide a Test

Uncertainty Ratio (TUR) of 4:1 when used as the reference standard for the TempTrak

transmitter and Solid Product Simulator.

*The modified solid simulator incorporates a secondary hole in the opposite end from where the thermistor sensor is inser ted

into the solid simulator. This secondary hole is used to place an insertion probe in the vicinity of the simulator’s thermistor

sensor.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1) Unit Does Not Turn On: Batteries are installed

incorrectly or dead. Check batteries are installed
according to picture on rear label. Replace batteries.

2) Display Shows “Prob”: Probe is broken (Open
thermocouple. See “Test for Broken Probe”
below).

3) Test for Broken Probe: Pull the probe connector out

partially to expose the blade contacts. Place a metal
paper clip across connector blades to short contacts.
If instrument displays temperature, the probe is
broken. Replace Probe.

4) Battery Icon Appears on Display: Low battery.
Replace batteries.

5) Display Shows “bAtt” and Instrument Shuts Off:

Replace batteries.

6) Display Shows “LO” or “HI”: Temperature measured
is outside measurement range of instrument.

Probe replacement is no longer necessary as long as the calibration process yields an
accuracy within the stated range, and the calibration process is performed within the actual
in-use environment. If any calibration results demonstrate out of tolerance conditions for
a TempTrak® transmitter or probe, the equipment will need to be replaced (refer to current
price schedule). For further information contact your local TempTrak sales representative.

PROBE CONNECTORS LOCATED INSIDE COLD ENVIRONMENTS

It is recommended that the probe connector is located outside of any cold environments to
avoid any inaccuracies.

If the probe cord is not long enough to t outside of the cooler or freezer, it can be left in that

environment during the wait time of 3 to 5 minutes. However, if the probe connector is exposed
to these cold environments, and then plugged into the thermocouple instrument, it needs to

acclimate for approximately 4 minutes. This will compensate for the temperature difference

between the probe connector and the instrument to avoid inaccurate readings.

To avoid taking innaccurate readings, do not leave the thermocouple instrument in these
environments longer than the recommended times explained above.

NSF listed, WEEE marked, Rohs compliant.

TRACEABILITY:

We certify that this instrument has been calibrated to
temperature and/or electrical standards traceable to the
U.S. Department of Commerce National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST).

1 Insert the SysCal probe into the calibration port

of the solid simulator.

2 Secure probe by looping the elastic band over

the top of the solid simulator.

Close the door to the monitoring area to minimize
temperature fluctuations. To ensure an accurate
reading between the probe and the solid simulator,
allow them to stabilize for 3 to 5 minutes before
recording a temperature.

4 Immediately after sending the reading from the

transmitter, take note of the temperature displayed
on the thermocouple. Record this reading in your
data log sheet. Use this as your reference standard.

The reading from the TempTrak
transmitter is compared to the
reference standard recorded by
the SysCal thermocouple. If that
reading is within ±2.0ºF (±1.1ºC), the
transmitter and solid simulator probe
are considered to be calibrated
within the stated accuracy.

5 Seal the calibration port on the solid simulator probe

by placing a blank label (supplied) over the hole.

6 A new calibration label (supplied) is dated and signed

by the technician, and placed on the housing
of the TempTrak transmitter (802.11 Wi-Fi shown).

3 A TempTrak reading transmission is initiated

by pressing the transmit button* on the
TempTrak transmitter (900 MHz shown).

*Depending on the transmitter type, this button may be

accessible from the inside (as above) or from the outside.
