28 | Page TMD 2.0 User Guide APPENDIX A: PROBE VERIFICATION & BASELINE ADJUSTMENT Introduction The TMD 2.0 probe is calibrated at the factory. Periodically, you may need to adjust the reported temperature with an offset from this factory setting. In order to verify and adjust the offset of the probe we must use temperature reference points. These points are: Freezing (32°F or 0°C) — freezing can be simulated by an ice bath method (ice point) Boiling at sea level, (212°F or 100°C) — altitude affects the “boiling point” as shown in the table below. At sea level, water boils at 212°F, but at 5,000 feet above sea level it boils at only 202.4°F Table A: Approximate Boiling Point of Water at Altitude Feet °F °C Feet °F °C 0 212.0 100.0 3000 206.2 96.8 250 211.5 99.7 3250 205.7 96.5 500 211.0 99.5 3500 205.3 96.3 750 210.5 99.2 3750 204.8 96.0 1000 210.1 98.9 4000 204.3 95.7 1250 209.6 98.6 4250 203.8 95.5 1500 209.1 98.4 4500 203.4 95.2 1750 208.6 98.1 4750 202.9 94.9 2000 208.1 97.8 5000 202.4 94.7 2250 207.6 97.6 10000 193.2 89.6 2500 207.2 97.3 15000 184.4 84.7 2750 206.7 97.1 20000 175.9 79.9 Offset Ranges If the probe is outside the ranges below, you will not be able to adjust the baseline. Freezing (Ice Bath) Fahrenheit — 32°F is the expected temperature. ± 10 of the expected temperature is the allowed adjusted temperature range, which is (22°F to 42°F) Celsius — 0°C is the expected temperature. ± 5.5 of the expected temperature is the allowed adjusted temperature range, which is (-5.5°C to 5.5°C)
TMD 2.0 User Guide 29 | Page Boiling (the boiling point range covers from sea level to 20000 feet above sea level) Fahrenheit — 212°F is the expected temperature. The allowed range is defined by taking +10 of the expected temperature and -10 of the boiling point at 20000 feet above sea level, which is 175.9°F. The allowed adjusted temperature range is (165.9°F - 222 °F) Celsius — 100° C is the expected temperature. The allowed range is defined by taking +5.5 of the expected temperature and -5.5 of the boiling point at 20000 feet above sea level, which is 79.9°C. The allowed adjusted temperature range is (74.4°C – 105.5°C) Verification & Offset Procedures You must perform temperature preparation and temperature verification procedures prior to adjusting the baseline. If the TMD does not pass a temperature verification you may have to: Send the TMD 2.0 in for repair or service, it may be damaged or needs to be reset to factory calibration Check the temperature reference point being used: ice water bath or boiling water (see page 28) Verification Preparation The following outlines basic temperature point preparation. You should use distilled water for both verifications. Ice Point (Water Bath) 1. Fill an insulated container with crushed or chipped ice. The container should be at least 4 inches deep and 4 inches wide. 2. Add cold water slowly until it overflows and then add more ice until it is packed tightly, allowing excess to overflow. The water should be 1 inch below the top of the ice in the container. 3. Allow time for the mixture to come to 32°F or 0°C (about 3-5 minutes). 4. Insert the probe into the center of the container so that the sensing area is completely submerged. At least 2 inches of the probe should be submerged. 5. Make sure the probe is not on the bottom and sides of the container. Boiling Point (Boiling Water Bath) 1. Fill a deep pan with water and bring to a boil. Boiling water at sea level is 212°F or 100°C. See Table A on page 28 different altitudes. 2. Insert the probe into the pan of boiling water so that the sensing area is completely submerged. At least 2 inches of the probe should be submerged. 3. Make sure the probe is not on the bottom and sides of the pan.
30 | Page TMD 2.0 User Guide Temperature Verification The following outlines temperature verification. You can use a separately calibrated “reference” thermometer immersed in the identical temperature reference point to verify your reading as needed. It is recommended that you: Perform both verifications for the probe Use distilled water for both verifications Ice Point Verification You must have your “ice point” preparation ready (see page 29). 1. Set the mode on the TMD to “Probe.” 2. Immerse the probe into the ice water bath. 3. Press “Measure” and wait for a stabilized temperature. 4. Verify that the temperature as expected: Fahrenheit — 32°F is the expected temperature. ± 10 of the expected temperature is the allowed adjusted temperature range, which is (22°F to 42°F) Celsius — 0°C is the expected temperature. ± 5.5 of the expected temperature is the allowed adjusted temperature range, which is (-5.5°C to 5.5°C) 5. If the probe is outside the offset ranges), you will not be able to adjust the baseline. See “outside of ranges information” below. Boiling Point Verification You must have your “boiling point” preparation ready (see page 29). 1. Set the mode on the TMD to “Probe.” 2. Immerse the probe into the boiling water. 3. Press “Measure” and wait for a stabilized temperature. 4. Verify that the temperature is the “altitude adjusted” temperature (the boiling point range covers from sea level to 20000 feet above sea level) as expected: Fahrenheit — 212°F is the expected temperature. The allowed range is defined by taking +10 of the expected temperature and -10 of the boiling point at 20000 feet above sea level, which is 175.9°F. The allowed adjusted temperature range is (165.9°F - 222 °F) Celsius — 100° C is the expected temperature. The allowed range is defined by taking +5.5 of the expected temperature and -5.5 of the boiling point at 20000 feet above sea level, which is 79.9°C. The allowed adjusted temperature range is (74.4°C – 105.5°C) 5. If the probe is outside the offset ranges, you will not be able to adjust the baseline. See “outside of ranges information” below.
TMD 2.0 User Guide 31 | Page Outside of Ranges Information If the probe is outside the offset ranges, you should consider if: Using a separately calibrated “reference” thermometer immersed in the identical temperature reference point to verify your reading If there is visible damage to the device or the device has been dropped. The TMD would need to be sent in for repair and/or factory calibration reset If the TMD is consistently out of range from the cold and hot temperature ranges. The device will need to be sent back for factory calibration reset If the TMD is ± 10 for Fahrenheit or ±5 for Celsius for the temperature reference points. The device needs to be sent back for factory calibration reset Temperature Offset Adjustment You can use the adjustments outlined below as needed. Expected Freezing Temperature Acceptance You must have your “ice point” preparation ready (see page 29). The following shows a Fahrenheit adjustment example, but could be done in Celsius. 1. Set the mode on the TMD to “Probe.” 2. Immerse the probe into the ice water bath. 3. Press “Measure” and wait for a stabilized temperature. For example, the display shows 34°F. NOTE: If two out of three measurements are in range of +/- 2°F or 1.1°C, no adjustment is needed. If two or more measurements are not in range an adjustment is needed. 4. Remove the probe from the ice water bath. 5. Simultaneously press and hold the “+/Measure” and “-/OK/Units” buttons for 4 seconds to enter “Adjustment” mode. The TMD validates that the measured temperature is within the acceptable range to allow adjustments. In our example, the measured temperature of 34°F is between the acceptable adjustment range of 22°F – 42°F 6. The TMD blinks the expected temperature in the main display (32°F), and then emits two short beeps (1 second each) to signify the start of adjustment mode. 7. In our example, you can press and hold the “–” button until 32°F shows. The adjusted temperature decrements by 1 with every second you hold the button. Note that if you press and hold the “+” button you increment the temperature. You could also tap the “+” button, which increments the temperature by 0.1 with each tap If needed you could use the “–” button, decrements the temperature by 0.1 with each tap 8. Press the “Mode” button, within 30 seconds. The TMD stores the displayed temperature. It displays “good” on the main display, “LO” on the top lower display, “set” on the lower most display and emits one short beep (1 second).
32 | Page TMD 2.0 User Guide 9. You need to wait two 2 seconds for the TMD to return to “Ready” state. Expected Boiling Temperature Acceptance/Adjustment Prior to performing the following, you’ll need to use Table A (page 28) to find your approximate water boiling point. In our example we are at 500 feet, so boiling is at 211°F. You must have your “boiling point” preparation ready (see page 29). The following shows a Fahrenheit adjustment example, but could be done in Celsius. 1. Set the mode on the TMD to “Probe.” 2. Immerse the probe into the boiling water. 3. Press “Measure” and wait for a stabilized temperature. For example, the display shows 210°F. NOTE: If two out of three measurements are in range of +/- 2°F or 1.1°C, no adjustment is needed. If two or more measurements are not in range an adjustment is needed. 4. Remove the probe from the boiling water. 5. Simultaneously press and hold the “+/Measure” and “-/OK/Units” buttons for 4 seconds to enter “Adjustment” mode. The TMD validates that the measured temperature is within the acceptable range to allow adjustments. In our example, the measured temperature of 210°F is between the acceptable adjustment range of 165.9°F – 222°F 6. The TMD blinks the expected temperature in the main display (212°F) and emits two short beeps (1 second each) to signify the start of adjustment mode. 7. In our example, you can press and hold the “+” button until 211°F shows because at 500 feet above sea level the boiling point is 211°F. The adjusted temperature increments by 1 with every second you hold the button. Note that if you press and hold the “–” button you decrement the temperature. You could also tap the “+” button, which increments the temperature by 0.1 with each tap If needed you could use the “–” button, decrements the temperature by 0.1 with each tap 8. Press the “Mode” button, within 30 seconds. The TMD stores the displayed temperature. It now display “good” on the main display, “high” on the top lower display, “set” on the lower most display and emit one short beep (1 second) 9. You need to wait two 2 seconds for the TMD to return to “Ready” state. TMD Display Messages You may see the following messages on a TMD: good high set, good LO set, bAd high set or bAd LO set. Their meaning and placement of the messages are: good or bAd — shows on the main display. A “Good” is for a successful stored adjustment. A “bAd” is where a bad state is reached high or LO — shows on top lower display. A “high” shows that the good or bad adjustment was for the high temperature range (boiling/hot). A “LO” shows that the good or adjustment was for the low temperature range (freezing/cold)
