1.0 IntroductionCongratulations on your purchase of the BIOS Professional Wireless HACCP Temperature Monitor. This unit was designed with food safety and convenience in mind.Monitoring temperature of hot and cold foods throughout the day can be time consuming and costly. This unit does all of the work, with accurate and precise readings stored so that data can be uploaded onto a personal computer, and kept for future reference. 1.1 Beneﬁ ts of using the BIOS Professional HACCP Temperature Monitor• Reduce costs associated with managing HACCP• Allows users to store detailed historical data• Helps to reduce the risk of serving hazardous food • Monitors the time food is in a food temperature danger zone1.2 FeaturesThe BIOS Professional Wireless HACCP Temperature Monitor is a wireless digital temperature device which is capable of reading, displaying and monitoring current temperatures from up to 30 temperature sensors. These long range sensors can transmit data through ﬂ oors and from “out of sight” storage areas.Aside from current temperatures, the monitor’s LCD screen displays a real time clock and calendar, as well as maximum and minimum pre-set temperature settings.An audible alarm sounds when temperatures fall out of the pre-programmed range. In addition to the audio alert, green and red LED lights indicate temperature status for each sensor. The delay function defers the alarm for a user speciﬁ ed period of 0, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Every 15 minutes, PC uploadable temperature data for each sensor is logged. Logged data is retrieved through the USB port and PC download software, as provided.

1.3 Care of the Device• Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe if being used in an area where temperature is high.• Wash stainless steel probes between uses, drying thoroughly.• Do not submerge the probe in water. Moisture inside the probe’s plug or the thermometer might cause an incorrect temperature reading. Always wipe the probe’s plug dry before plugging it into the sensor.• Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity that may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span, or damage to the unit.• Do not place the monitor in direct sunlight, or let it come into contact with moisture or hot surfaces.• The probe is a sharp metal object. Take care when handling to avoid injuries.• Probes with red plugs are designed for monitoring high temperature while probes with blue plugs are designed for monitoring low temperature. Do not mix the usage of the two probes.• Do not expose any part of the probe directly to open ﬂ ames. This will damage the temperature sensor.• Clean the probe with water and a mild detergent. Do not use corrosive or abrasive materials. Do not clean the probe in a dishwasher.• To clean the monitor or temperature sensor, wipe with a damp cloth.• Do not immerse the monitor or temperature sensor unit in water. If you spill liquid over the monitor or temperature sensor unit, dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.• Do not tamper with the internal components of the monitor or temperature sensor units.

8.0 Alarm delay operationUsers have the option of setting an alarm delay, so that once temperature falls out of the programmed range, a timer will start counting down and the audio alarm will not sound. If the temperature does not go back into the programmed temperature range within the pre-set delay period, the alarm will sound once the timer hits zero. This allows for temporary ﬂ uctuations.1. Press the DELAY key on the sensor to toggle between 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. Select the delay time desired, display will show the delay time and conﬁ rm automatically after 5 seconds. 2. When sensor detects temperature has exceeded the programmed range, the delay timer is triggered and begins counting down. The audio alarm will not be triggered within the delay period. 3. Sensor will show “dE” by ﬂ ashing every 0.5 seconds to indicate the delay function is running. If temperature continues to exceed set range after the delay period (e.g. 31 min), the alarm will sound on monitor and sensor. NOTE: Once alarm is triggered, the red LED on the sensor will ﬂ ash every NOTE: Once alarm is triggered, the red LED on the sensor will ﬂ ash every NOTE:second for the ﬁ rst 2 minutes, and every 5 seconds after.4. If temperature resumes within the programmed range during the delay period, it will stop the delay timer immediately. NOTE: Monitor will show “dE” when temperature exceeds set range so that NOTE: Monitor will show “dE” when temperature exceeds set range so that NOTE:the user will know the delay period is running. Green LED will still ﬂ ash to show the operation is ﬁ ne. If temperature continues to exceed set range after the delay period (e.g. 31 min), monitor will show “Low” or “Hi” and red LED will ﬂ ash to indicate temperature is out of range.
