and move on to LOW ALARM. With the LOW
ALARM digits ashing, use the up and down arrows
to adjust the desired temperature. Press SET again

ALARMS - If an alarm is triggered, the channel’s
display will begin to ash with the programmed HI
or LO temperature and a unique alarm will sound.
If the set alarms are exceeded then an audible alarm
will sound and the relevant LCD segments ash.
A single beep denotes an alarm on T1 and double
beep denotes an alarm on T2 and so on. If multiple
alarms are occurring - the instrument sounds the
most recent alarm. If that alarm clears then it reverts
to the most recent still occurring alarm. Once an
alarm sounds, pressing any button will mute the
alarm. The display will continue to ash while the
temperature is outside the set temperatures. The
alarm will automatically re-alarm if the temperature
returns within the set temperatures.
NO PROBE -When ‘no PrbE’ ashes, a probe is
not connected or has failed. Make sure the plug is
fully inserted.
