1.0 Introduction
Congratulations 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 zone
1.2 Features
The 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 operation
Users 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.
