FreshTrac™ Combination Liquid
Level Gauge & Coffee Timer
The FreshTrac™ TFT coffee server uses a
lid that has a combination gauge. This lid
contains three indicators: A liquid level measure, a coffee quality timer, and LED lights.
The FreshTrac™ activates as soon as
brewed coffee starts owing into the server.
At this time the two indicator lights ash green-red-green and the numeric timer starts counting down. Sensors within the lid measure the coffee as it lls the server. The segments of the liquid level gauge will start to
ll in as the volume increases.
LED Lights
The two lights (Red & Green) are non-programmable.
1. Coffee is Fresh Mode — Green LED light blinks every 6 seconds to designate coffee is fresh. The Green
LED is set to blink for 1 hour and 50 minutes.
