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).
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.

Changing the location
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.
Switching on and selecting the measuring mode
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 temperature probe indication(14) appears on the
display, this 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(22) appears on the display. The
device performs a measurement.
ðThe current measured value is displayed in the
measurement value display(10).
3. Let go of the measurement button(8) again.
ðThe HOLD indication(21) appears on the display. The
device stops measuring.
ðThe last measured value is displayed in the
measurement value display(10).
Measuring with temperature probe
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.
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 current measured value is displayed in the
measurement value display(10).
Maximum value
When measuring with infrared, the highest measured value
since the beginning of the measurement is displayed by default.
This function cannot be switched off.
The maximum value is not displayed when measuring with a
temperature probe.
1. Carry out a measurement with infrared.
ðThe maximum value is shown on the segment
display(16).
ðThe MAX indication(18) is shown on the display.

segment display(16).
3. Press and hold the SET button(2) to set the corresponding
value.
4. 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, an acoustic signal is
emitted for 30seconds. Press any button to switch off
the acoustic signal.
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 temperature unit indication(13) displays the
currently selected unit (°C oder °F).
Switch-off

Maintenance and repair
Battery change
A battery change is required, when the battery indication(12)
lights up or the device can no longer be switched on. See
chapter Operation.
Cleaning
Clean the device with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make
sure that no moisture enters the housing. Do not use any
sprays, solvents, alcohol-based cleaning agents or abrasive
cleaners, but only clean water to moisten the cloth.
Repair
Do not modify the device or install any spare parts. For repairs
or device testing, contact the manufacturer.
Disposal
Always dispose of packing materials in an environmentally
friendly manner and in accordance with the applicable local
disposal regulations.
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment is taken from Directive
2012/19/EU. It states that this device must not be disposed of
with the household waste at the end of its life. You will find
collection points for free return of waste electrical and electronic
equipment in your vicinity. The addresses can be obtained from
your municipality or local administration. You can also find out
about other return options that apply for many EU countries on
the website https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090. Otherwise,
please contact an official recycling centre for electronic and
electrical equipment authorised for your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must
not be treated as domestic waste, but must be disposed of
professionally in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 6September2006
on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and
accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
Only for United Kingdom
According to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Regulations 2013 (SI2013/3113) (as amended) and the Waste
Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009 (SI2009/890) (as
amended), devices that are no longer usable must be collected
separately and disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner.
