DOWNLOADING STORED DATA
Note: The USB download will not occur if the battery
LCD symbol is active. Plug the supplied AC adapter
into the thermometer to provide sufficient power for USB
operation.
1. The data can be downloaded directly to a USB Mass
Storage Flash Drive. To begin the download, insert the
USB flash drive into the USB port located on the left
side of the thermometer.
2. The download will begin automatically upon insert.
The P1 LED will turn on to indicate the download
process has begun.
3. Once the download process is complete, the LED
will turn off. Do not remove the USB drive until the
process is complete.
4. The data transfer rate is approximately 55 data points
per second.
REVIEWING STORED DATA
The downloaded data is stored in a comma-delimited
CSV file on the flash drive. The filename naming conven-
tion is “D1D2D3D4D5D6D7R1.CSV” where D1 through
D7 are the last seven digits of the thermometer’s unique
ID number and R1 is the revision of the file starting with
the letter “A”.
If more than one file is written from the same thermometer
to the USB flash drive, the revision letter will be incre-
mented in order to preserve the previously downloaded
files.
The data file can be opened in any software package
supporting comma-delimited files including spreadsheet
software (Excel) and text editors.
The file will contain the thermometer unique ID number,
the most recent ten temperature events, and all stored
temperature readings with date and time stamps.
Note: All data stored in Celsius (°C) and date format is
MM/DD/YYYY.
DISPLAY MESSAGES
If no buttons are pressed and LL.LL appears on the dis-
play, this 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 located on the
back. To use the bench stand, locate the small opening at
the bottom back of the unit. Place your fingernail into the
opening and flip the stand out. To close the stand, simply
snap it shut.
POWER
The thermometer should be powered at all times with
supplied AC adapter. In the event of a power failure, the
backup batteries will power the thermometer for one
week. A low battery symbol on the display indicates the
AC adaptor has failed and the thermometer is running on
the backup batteries.
BACKUP BATTERY REPLACEMENT
To replace the Backup Battery, remove the battery cover,
located on the back of the unit by sliding it down. Remove
the exhausted batteries and replace with two (2) new AAA
alkaline batteries. 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/maxi-
mum memories and high/low alarm settings. However,
replacing the batteries WILL NOT clear the time-of- day/
date settings.
STATIC SUPPRESSOR INSTALLATION

through the air or by physical contact. To protect against
radio frequency, install a suppressor onto your ther-
mometers cable to absorb radio frequency as follows:
