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.
1.3 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.
2.0 Getting Started Power up the monitor using the AC/DC adaptor included with the kit, before attempting to program. Insert 4 x AA batteries in the battery compartment on the back of the monitor for back up purposes. 2.1 About the Wireless HACCP Temperature Monitor This section describes the components of the unit.

2.2 About the LCD Screen on Monitor The LCD screen displays the sensor temperatures along with their actual and set Max/Min temperatures. It also displays a real time clock and calendar, low/no battery icon, AC/DC adaptor icon, REGistration mode icon, and SET TEMP mode icon.

4.0 Using an Extension Cord An extension cord can be used if the cord on the probe is not long enough to reach the desired area from where the sensor is mounted. 1. Plug extension cord into temperature sensor. 2. Plug probe into extension cord. 3. Use the slide extension ON/OFF switch to select Ext. ON. NOTE: If an extension cord is added after the sensor is registered, reset the sensor by removing and re-inserting one battery. 5.
. 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.
7.0 Max/Min Temperature Setting You can set each sensor with a maximum and minimum temperature alarm. Once a sensor falls out of the programmed range, both the sensor and monitor will beep. A red light will flash on the monitor to indicate which sensor is out of range. NOTE: The Min/Max temperature setting is done when the sensors are being registered for the first time. To change the Min/Max temperature settings follow the steps below. 1. In normal mode, press MODE/SET until SET TEMP icon ( ) appears. 2.
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.

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.
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. When positioning the monitor, remove rubber stopper in the wall mount hole located at the back of the monitor. 3.
