2 Installing the digital thermometer
1 Using a cleaner suitable for
stainless steel, clean the top section of your Helmer thawer. Do not use
a cleaner that leaves a slippery lm
on the surface, which will prevent the hook and loop fastener from adhering.
2 Peel the
liner off the hook and loop fastener to expose the adhesive.
3 Carefully insert the probe of the
digital thermometer through the holes in the brackets in the thawer. Align the digital thermometer as desired, then press it onto the surface of the thawer to adhere it in place.

3 Using the digital thermometer
The stainless steel probe on the DT1 immerses in the water in the chamber, and the display shows the temperature in increments of 0.1 °C. For the display to work, there must be enough light in the work area (at least 35 Lux).
When the digital thermometer is rst exposed to light, the message “---oE” is displayed for about 12 to 15 seconds while
the thermometer initializes.
4 Calibrating the digital thermometer
Refer to the policy for your organization to determine how much variance is acceptable. If the variance is within acceptable limits for your organization, you may not need to change the setting.
You must have a thermometer to complete this procedure. The thermometer must be independent of the digital thermometer, and be calibrated and traceable according to the policy of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), or to the equivalent national or international measuring equipment
standards as identied in regulations for your organization.
To measure the temperature
1 Place the independent thermometer in the water chamber so
the tips of both thermometers are at the same depth.
2 Allow the temperature readings to stabilize. 3 Compare the reading of the digital thermometer to that of the
independent thermometer. If the difference is greater than the acceptable tolerance for your organization, calibrate the digital thermometer.
To calibrate the digital thermometer
1 Remove the back cover of the digital
thermometer by prying the back plate off the housing.
2 Using a at-head screwdriver, turn
the calibration adjustment dial slightly to change the readout value. ► To increase the value, turn the
dial clockwise.
► To decrease the value, turn the
dial counter-clockwise.
3 Allow the temperature readings
to stabilize for 15 to 30 seconds. This will also allow the calibration changes to take effect.
4 Repeat steps 1 to 3 as necessary until
the readout is acceptable.
5 Install the back cover by aligning the
mounting buttons with the holes on the housing, then pressing the buttons into the holes.

8 Technicalspecications
To remove the digital thermometer, carefully lift up on the housing to separate the hook and loop fastener, and pull upwards.
6 Cleaning the digital thermometer
WARNING:
!
Clean and disinfect the digital thermometer regularly as necessary.
Clean the housing with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner. Clean the stainless steel probe with a general-purpose
laboratory cleaner suitable for stainless steel. Disinfect using a mild disinfectant solution.
► Follow all chemical handling
and disposal requirements and
procedures specied by your
organization.
► Use specic cleansers and
cleaning supplies specied by
your organization.
