Instructions For Use

®

Direct

All TempTale® Direct temperature monitors are programmed with custom start-up delays,

measurement intervals and time-temperature alarm settings.

Starting a TempTale® Direct Monitor

• Press and hold the Start button (1 – 3 seconds) until the “Sunshine” icon appears in the upper left corner
of the display.

• The TempTale Direct will now begin to record data after the pre-programmed start-up delay period has
passed.

Marking an Important Event (“Date Stamp”)

• TempTale Direct monitors provide an option to “Date Stamp” or mark an important event at any time during
the monitoring cycle. This mark will be visible as an arrow on the time-temperature graph and in italics
when viewing the tabular data.

• To mark the data while the monitor is recording, press and release the Start button. An “Arrow” icon will

appear briey in the lower left corner and the temperature history information will appear in the display in the following order:

1. Average temperature

2. Min. recorded temperature

3. Max. recorded temperature

Alarming

When the TempTale Direct is exposed to temperatures outside of the pre-programmed time and temperature limit threshold, an “Alarm Bell”
icon or an will appear at the bottom of the display.

Stopping a TempTale Direct Monitor

There are two ways to stop a TempTale Direct monitor:

• Press and hold the Stop button (1 – 3 seconds) until the “Stop” icon appears in the upper right corner of the display.

• Inserting the USB connector into a USB port on a
computer or printer will also stop the monitor.

Receiving a TempTale Direct Monitor

• Recover the TempTale Direct monitor, then press and hold
the red Stop button (1 – 3 seconds) to manually stop the

unit. NOTE: If the monitor is not stopped manually, the
