MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM MEMORY
There are four points that are automatically recorded into
memory:
• Minimum (MIN) Probe 1 (P1) Temperature
Achieved with time-of-day and date achieved
• Maximum (MAX) Probe 1 (P1) Temperature
Achieved with time-of-day and date achieved
• Minimum (MIN) Probe 2 (P2) Temperature
Achieved with time-of-day and date achieved
• Maximum (MAX) Probe 2 (P2) Temperature
Achieved with time-of-day and date achieved
Minimum and maximum temperature memories
are NOT programmable. The minimum temperature
recorded into memory is the minimum temperature
achieved since the last time the memory was cleared.
The maximum temperature recorded into memory is
the maximum temperature achieved since the last time
the memory was cleared. The minimum and maximum
temperature memories are maintained over the period
since the memory was cleared.
Minimum and maximum memories are recorded for both
sensors regardless of the display mode.

set independent of each other.
With the alarm switch set to the ON position:
-The unit will sound an alarm and ash the corresponding
LED (P1/P2) when the temperature measured is outside
the alarm limits that have been set (equal to or lower than
the low alarm set point, or equal to or greater than the
high alarm set point).
-The alarm will sound regardless of which sensor is being
displayed and regardless of the display mode. Example:
If Probe 1 is being displayed and the DISPLAY switch is
set to MIN MAX, but Probe 2 reaches an alarm condition,
the alarm will sound and the P2 LED will ash.

ENABLE/DISABLE ALARMS
To enable the alarm to activate when a temperature
measured is outside the alarm limits, slide the ALARM
switch to the ON position.
When the alarm is enabled, both Probe 1 and Probe 2
alarm set points will be monitored. If either sensor reaches
an alarm condition, the alarm will activate. It is not possible
to enable the alarm for one sensor and disable the alarm
for the other sensor.
To disable the alarm so that no alarm sounds when a
temperature measured is outside the alarm limits, slide
the ALARM switch to the OFF position.
ALARM SOUNDING
With the alarm enabled, the unit will sound an alarm and
the corresponding (P1/P2) red LED will ash when a
temperature being measured is outside the alarm limits
that have been set (equal to or lower than the low alarm
set point, or equal to or greater than the high alarm set
point). Until it has been acknowledged/silenced (see
the “Acknowledge/Silence An Alarm” section), the alarm
will sound and corresponding (P1/P2) red LED will ash
continuously for the rst sixty (60) seconds. After 60
seconds, the alarm will sound and LED will ash for ten
(10) seconds every minute.
If the alarm is sounding based on the low alarm limit and
the probe temperature is being displayed, “LO ALM” will
also ash on the display. If the alarm is sounding based
on the high alarm limit and the probe temperature is
being displayed, “HI ALM” will ash on the display.
The alarm will sound and corresponding LED will ash
regardless of which sensor is being displayed and
regardless of the display mode. Example: If Probe 1 is
being displayed and the DISPLAY switch is set to MIN
MAX, but Probe 2 reaches an alarm condition, the alarm
will sound and the P2 LED will ash.
The unit will continue to alarm and ash the corresponding
(P1/P2) red LED until the alarm has been acknowledged/
silenced by either pressing the SILENCE ALM button or
by sliding the ALARM switch to the OFF position (see the
“Acknowledge/Silence An Alarm” section). The unit will
continue to alarm and ash the corresponding (P1/P2) red
LED even if the temperature being measured returns to an
in-range/non-alarm condition.
ACKNOWLEDGE/SILENCE AN ALARM
While alarming, the alarm may be acknowledged/silenced
in one of the following ways:
1. Slide the ALARM switch to the OFF position.
Setting the ALARM switch to the OFF position will
silence the alarm, but when it is switched back to the
ON position, if the temperature being measured is
still in an alarm condition, the alarm will sound.
Setting the ALARM switch to the OFF position
prevents any/all alarms from sounding.

2. Press the SILENCE ALM button. Pressing the
SILENCE ALM button will silence the alarm, the alarm
will not sound again until the temperature being
measured has returned to an in-range condition and
then goes to an alarm condition.
VIEWING ALARM EVENT VALUE DATE & TIME
When the thermometer achieves and alarm condition,
the date and time for the most recent alarm condition
is stored into memory. The most recent alarm event
achieved is stored for each probe (P1/P2) independently.
To view the most recent alarm event:
1. Slide the PROBE switch to the desired position (1 or
2) to display the desired temperature sensor readings.
2. Slide the DISPLAY switch to the ALARM position.
The display will show the current temperature and
the low/high alarm set value.
3. Press the EVENT DATE TIME button, the most recent
alarm set value that was achieved along with the
time-of-day/date the alarm occurred will appear on
the display.
Note: The value that appears at the top of the display
while displaying the event date/time, is the alarm set
value that caused the alarm condition, not the actual
temperature achieved while in the alarm condition. If
nothing appears on the display when the EVENT DATE
TIME button is pressed, this indicates that either the unit
has not achieved an alarm condition, or that the alarm set
values have been changed for the selected probe since
the unit last achieved an alarm condition.
4. To exit from the alarm event display mode, press and
release the EVENT DATE TIME button, or simply do
not press any button for fteen (15) seconds.
DISPLAY MESSAGES
LL.LL appearing on the display indicates that the
temperature being measured is outside of the
temperature range of the unit, or that the probe is
disconnected or damaged.
BENCH STAND
The unit is supplied with a bench stand that is a part
of the back of the unit. To use the bench stand, locate
the small opening at the bottom back of the unit. Place
your ngernail into the opening and ip the stand out.
To close the stand, simply snap it shut.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this unit does not function properly for any reason,
replace the batteries with new high-quality batteries
(see the “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery
power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent”
operational difculties. Replacing the batteries with new
fresh batteries will solve most difculties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, a faint display, no display, or a
battery symbol appearing on the display are all
indications that the batteries must be replaced.
Remove the battery cover, located on the back of the
unit, by sliding it down. Remove the exhausted batteries
and replace them with two (2) new AAA alkaline batteries.
Make certain to insert the new batteries with the proper
polarity as indicated by the illustration in the battery
compartment. Replace the battery cover.
Replacing the batteries will clear the minimum/maximum
memories, the high/low alarm settings, and the time-of-
day/date.
