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 Benefits 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 floors 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 specified 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 flames. 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. 2.0 Getting Started Power up the monitor using the AC/DC adaptor included with the kit, before attempting to program.

NOTE: If an extension cord is added after the sensor is registered, reset the sensor by removing and re-inserting one battery. 5.0 Registering Temperature Sensors to Monitor By registering each sensor to the monitor, you ensure that no cross communication will occur. Each sensor will act independently to communicate its temperature to the monitor. ALARM Registered ALARM Not Registered NOTE: Ensure probe is fully inserted in sensor before registering. If using extension cord, ensure cord is inserted in sensor and probe is inserted in the extension cord. Remove the back panel (using the screwdriver provided) from all sensors that will be registered before starting registration. 1. Press MODE/SET once on the monitor, the REG icon ( ) will appear. 2. Press and hold MODE/SET to enter registration mode. You will hear a beep once it is confirmed. 3. The current sensor number and dashes (--.-) will flash on the monitor. 4. Insert 3 x AAA batteries into the back of the sensor. NOTE: If no temperature sensor is registered within 1 minute the monitor will go back to normal mode. 5. Once the batteries are inserted into the sensor you will hear a long beep from the sensor. If registration was successful, a number will appear on the LCD screen of the sensor. This number is the number of the sensor (see section 12.0 Troubleshooting if a number is not displayed). 6. Once the sensor is registered, the current temperature will be displayed on the monitor and the SET MAX temperature will flash. Use the and arrows to adjust the maximum temperature limit.* Press MODE/SET to confirm. 7. The SET MIN temperature will begin to flash. Use the and arrows to adjust the minimum temperature limit.* Press MODE/SET to confirm. 8. Repeat steps 4-7 to register remaining sensors. 9. Once registration is completed, press and hold MODE/SET to exit registration mode. *Press and hold or arrow for fast increment and decrement movement. NOTE: If at any time the monitor goes back to normal mode, follow steps 1 and 2 to get back to registration mode. Once registering is complete, ensure monitor and sensor are in an upright position (see section 10.0 for wall-mount instructions). 6.0 Deleting a Registration Sensors will need to be de-registered if they are no longer required, or if they will be used for a location different than that which it was previously programmed for. IMPORTANT: Both the monitor and sensor will need to be de-registered. 1. In registration mode (refer to section 5.0), press and hold both arrows on the monitor ( ) for 2 seconds to activate the de-registration function. Digits on the first row will flash. 2.

Use the and arrows to adjust the minimum temperature limit.* Press MODE/SET to confirm. 7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 to adjust the minimum/maximum temperature limits for other sensors. 8. Press and hold MODE/SET to exit temp setting mode. * Press and hold or arrow for fast increment and decrement 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 fluctuations. 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 confirm 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 flashing 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 flash every second for the first 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 the user will know the delay period is running. Green LED will still flash to show the operation is fine. 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 flash to indicate temperature is out of range. Alarm delay sequence 9.0 Display on Temperature Sensor Each Temperature Sensor has a small LCD screen, which upon registration displays a number. The corresponding number can be found on the monitor, where the temperature of that sensor is displayed. – Sensor is in sleep mode. To temporarily stop transmission from the sensor to the monitor, press and hold the Zz button on the sensor until a beep is heard. – Press the Zz button on sensor to mute the sensor and avoid an audio alarm. When the sensor is set to mute, the only indication of an alarm is the red LED light. – When the low battery icon appears, batteries should be replaced. 10.0 Sensors and Monitor Placement IMPORTANT: To ensure no signals are lost from sensor to monitor, make sure that the monitor and sensors are always in an upright, vertical position. NOTE: To stand monitor on flat surface, use built in stand located on the back of the unit. For positioning using a nail, screw or hook: 1. Fasten nail, screw or hook (not included) to wall. 2.
