either side of the instrument. Remove protective cap from
jacks and plug in probes. Make sure Right-Left-Dual display
switch is in the correct position before turning on
thermometer.
2. There is one display with a two line readout on the unit.
The top line is for temperature display. The left area is for
left probe, the right area for right probe. The bottom line
is for displaying the clock (24 hour format only), and the
status of the probes or the alarm event records. The right
part of the bottom line “88H88M88S” is also for alarm
delay time setting. For example, when the delay time is set
to “00H15M30S” and the temperature exceeds the limit
that the user set, the alarm will not sound unless the
temperature has exceeded the set temperature for 15
minutes 30 seconds. The delay time can be set from
00H00M00S to 10H59M59S (from 0 Hour 0 Minute 0
Second to 10 Hour and 59 Minute 59 Second). If the
temperature exceeds the set temperature but does not stay
there for longer than the set delay, then the sound alarm
will never occur but the information is still recorded. The “L”
is for showing that the data displayed is for the left probe;
the “R” is for showing that the data displayed is for the
right probe.
3. There are one “Pass Word” button and two sets of
“SET”/ “UP”/”DOWN” buttons on the panel.
4. There are no “on” and “off” buttons on the unit, the unit
works when the batteries are installed.

5. Press both buttons “UP”+ ”Down” at the same time for
Celsius and Fahrenheit unit selection. Default is ºF.
6. There is one three-position slide switch inside the battery
compartment. The user can enable the probe by selecting
the position of the switch. When the switch is in the “L”
position, the left probe is working and the right sensor
buttons are functionless. When the switch is in the “R”
position, the right probe is working and the left sensor
buttons are functionless. When the switch is in the middle
position, both probes are working and all buttons are
functional. The probe should be plugged into the unit all
the time as long as it is enabled. Position of the slide switch
should be in the correct position before battery is installed.
Changing the slide switch position requires resetting the
unit by re-installation of battery or pressing the system reset
button, which is also inside the battery compartment.
7. If the probe is enabled (through the slide switch) and is
unplugged during unit powering up or setup, the alarm will
beep and EEE will be displayed in the corresponding probe
temp display area. The unit cannot be set up until the
probe is plugged in again.
8. During normal operation, when the probe is unplugged,
the EEE temp and duration of the probe being unplugged
will be recorded. The alarm will beep during the probe is
unplugged. After the probed is inserted again, the
operation for that probe resumes.
9. During the time the probe is plugged-in or unplugged, the
temperatures recorded at that moment may not be
accurate. If these temperatures meet the temp high/low
settings, they will be written to the alarm records (together
with the “EEE” alarm record), and the users need to filter
out these un-accurate temperature records themselves.
10. The "Password Reset" button is inside the battery
compartment. Pressing the button once will reset the
password to “88:88”.
11.The “System Reset” button is inside the battery
compartment. The user can reset the unit any time for reinitialization of the unit or in case the unit does not start up
after installation of the batteries. After this button is pressed,
the unit will go through the normal power up initialization
process, and all settings have to be re-entered. Only the old
alarm records (if there is any) can be retrieved after system
reset. The operator may use a paper clip or similar type of
object for accessing the system reset button.
Note: Old alarm records may be retrieved after hitting
System Reset button, but when alarm settings are reentered old records will be deleted.

side of the bottom line displays “Set” “R” or “L” indicating
that the right or left probe is already set. The display then
returns to the normal display of current temperature, the
clock, and “Set” “R” or “L” or “2”.
e. Repeat the above setting procedure for another probe when
appropriate. If both probes are set, the normal display
should show the current temperature of both probes, the
clock, and “Set2”.
When the temperature is over the high point or below the low
point, the alarming events are recorded. There are maximum
96 Hours alarm history stored in memory. In the normal display
mode, press the “SET” button once to display the last alarm
event.When the current displayed alarm event is the last one,
pressing “UP”” will scroll the alarm event back to the oldest
alarm event. For example, if the oldest alarm event is D0 R:
14:15 A 40°F (high temperature alarm occurred on the current
day at 14:15). Pressing the “UP” button once displays D0 R:
14:16 44°F (the maximum temperature recorded during alarm
period was 44°F at 14:16).
Pressing the “UP” button again will display D0 R: 14:18
00h02m33s (the temperature went back into safe range at
14:18, and the duration of the alarm was 2 minutes, 33

Once in the alarm events display mode, the only way to exit to
the normal display mode is to wait for the 15 seconds alarm
event time out or when a new alarm event arrives. The
temperature display for the corresponding probe should be
blank or only displaying the temperature data associated with
the alarm record when in alarm events display mode. The set
high / low alarm function is disabled in the alarm events display
mode, i.e. even though the user presses the “SET” for 3
seconds, the unit will not enter the alarm events set mode.
When there is no alarm records, “nr” (no records) will be
displayed on the lower left line of display when the “SET” button
is pressed (clock is still displayed on the lower right line).
Normal display mode is resumed after the 10 seconds alarm
events display time-out time.
The alarm records can't be deleted, unless new alarming set
points are set. It always keeps maximum 96 hours records in the
memory. The oldest alarm record will be replaced by the new
one when the memory is full.
When the new high and/or low alarm value is set, the memory
will clear all the records and start to record the new alarming
date from zero.
There are total 120 alarm records, 60 alarm records per probe.
