with up to 230 feet (70 m) of water.
LEDs
Once started, the LED will flash at the selected reading rate to indicate that the device is
running. The LED will flash in one second intervals if there is an alarm condition.
Alarm Settings
To change the settings for the temperature alarm:
- In the Connected devices panel, select the intended device to change the alarm settings.
- On the Device tab, in the Information group, click Properties. Users can also right-click
on the device and select Properties in the context menu.
- Click the Alarm tab. If the Alarm tab is missing, the device does not have any alarm
settings.
Configure the alarm settings:
- The High and Low settings indicate reading thresholds at which the alarm becomes active.
- The Warn high and Warn low settings indicate reading thresholds at which the alarm
warning becomes active.
- The Delay setting indicates how long to wait before the alarm becomes active after
passing an alarm threshold.
- The Use cumulative alarm delay checkbox indicates whether the alarm delay should reset
when reading values fall back within the alarm threshold. Note: Available settings vary per model.
- Click the Apply button.
O-Rings
O-Ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the MicroTemp. The O-Rings
ensure a tight seal and prevent liquid from entering the inside of the device.
Please refer to the application note “O-Rings 101: Protecting Your Data”, found on the
MadgeTech website, for information on how to prevent O-ring failure.
