Once you have made a selection of a product and a process/location, the screen will display:
• the currently selected product and process/location,

• the current date and time,

• the current reading of the temperature probe,

• and, if a user list is installed in the unit, the current user’s name.


If at this stage you want to select a different secondary item, under the current primary item, you can
do so with the left and right arrow keys. For example, if the database is process/location oriented,
you can select a different product under the current process/location by using the arrow keys.
Alternatively, if the database is product oriented, you will be able to select different
processes/locations under the current product by using the arrow keys.

Taking and Storing a Temperature Reading

Once a product and process/location has been selected, the unit will display the current reading
registered by the sensor probe.
• If the reading is above specification, HIGH will be displayed next to the reading.

• If the reading is below specification, LOW will be displayed next to the reading.

• In addition to the above, if the alarms has been enabled for the upper and/or lower specifications,

an alarm symbol will be displayed next to the temperature reading, if the temperature reading
violates the alarm conditions.

• If the reading is within specification, OK will be shown next to the value.


To store the reading, press the STORE button.
• If there is a reading storage delay specified for the currently selected product and

process/location, WAIT will be displayed next to the reading, and beeps will sound from the
ThermoCheck, until the reading storage delay has passed. Note that it is advisable that the
temperature probe sensor remains motionless during the reading storage delay to ensure
accuracy of the stored reading.

• If alarms are enabled for upper and/or lower specifications, and the reading violates the alarm

conditions, beeps will sound as the reading is stored.


For information on setting specification values, alarms and reading storage delays, refer to Chapter
3, Product Specifications, Alarms and Delays.

The reading is then stored, and the unit will briefly display the number of free readings available and
then return to displaying the current reading. You can now:
• take another reading for the currently selected product and process/location

• select another process/location for the current product,

• or press right/left arrow, LIST or ESCAPE to select another product.
