Information about the device
Device description
The device BP5F is a thermometer intended for temperature
measurements in food, which are carried out by means of an
infrared sensor or temperature probe in accordance with the
HACCP standard (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points).
Beside the digital temperature display, three LEDs show
whether the detected temperature is within the
HACCP compliant temperature ranges.
According to the HACCP directive, complying with the
temperature ranges below 4 °C and above 60 °C is an important
way of preventing the development and reproduction of harmful
microorganisms. On the other hand, temperatures between 4 °C
and 60 °C can promote the development of germs. To quickly
show whether or not these temperature limits are complied
with, the food thermometer BP5F shows three LEDs beside the
digital temperature display which indicate the corresponding
temperature range.

Operation
Note
Make sure that the surface of the device is dry and the
device is switched off.
Inserting the battery
1. Open the battery compartment by unscrewing the two
screws with a suitable screwdriver.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover(7).
3. Insert the battery(1 x 9V battery) into the battery
compartment with correct polarity.
4. Fit the battery compartment cover back on the device and
tighten the screws.
Switching on and selecting the measuring mode
Note:
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead to
condensation forming on the device's circuit board. This
physical and unavoidable effect can falsify the measurement. In
this case, the display shows either no measured values or they
are incorrect. Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out a
measurement.
Proceed as follows to switch between measurement with
infrared and measurement with temperature probe:
1. Press any button to switch on the device.
2. Press the MEAS button(6) to switch between
measurement with infrared and measurement with
temperature probe.
ðIf the symbol for measurement with temperature probe
is displayed on the indication(13), the corresponding
measuring mode is selected.
ðIf the symbol is not displayed, the infrared measuring
mode is selected.
Measuring with infrared
Info
Vapours and smoke can influence the measurement.
Info
Ensure that the surface to be measured is free of dust,
dirt, ice or similar substances.
Info
To be able to gain exact measurement results on
surfaces which reflect heavily, stick matt masking tape
to the surface or apply matt black paint with a very
high and known degree of emission.
Info
Note the 20:1 ratio of the distance to the measuring
spot diameter. The larger the distance to the object,
the larger the measuring spot diameter and hence, the
less precise the measured result.
1. Switch the device on and select the infrared measuring
mode.
2. Point the device at the object to be measured and hold
down the measurement button(8).
ðThe SCAN indication(21) appears on the display. The
device performs a measurement.
ðThe currently measured value is indicated.
3. Let go of the measurement button(8) again.
ðThe HOLD indication(20) appears on the display. The
device stops measuring.
ðThe last value measured is shown.
Measuring with temperature probe
1. Press the temperature probe lock(3) and fold out the
temperature probe(4).
2. Insert the temperature probe(4) into the object to be
measured by approx. 1 cm.
3. Switch the device on and select the temperature probe
measuring mode.
4. Press the MEAS button(5).
ðThe currently measured value is indicated.
Note
The temperature probe is not suitable as an ice pick
and should never be pricked into frozen objects
forcefully to prevent damages to the device.

2. The timer period is displayed.
3. Press and hold the TIMER button(6) for 2 seconds to
switch between seconds, minutes and hours.
ðThe currently selected time format flashes.
4. Press and hold the SET button(2) to set the corresponding
value.
5. Press the measurement button(8) to start the timer.
ðThe timer starts and remains active in the background,
even if you switch to another menu or the device turns
off because of non-use.
ðAfter the set time has passed, a beep is emitted for
30 seconds. Press any button to switch off the beep.
The device switches off after approx. 20 seconds of non-use.
Changing the unit °C / °F indication
The default setting for the temperature unit is °C.
Please proceed as follows to change the temperature unit at the
device:
1. Press the SET button(2) to change the unit.
ðThe currently selected unit °C or °F will be indicated in
the temperature unit indication(12) of the display(1).
