  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction Introduction Introduction The QUESTEMPII is an easy to use personal heat stress indicator which monitors the human body's temperature via the ear canal. Any offset between the ear and body temperatures is adjusted for by calibrating directly to the individual's oral temperature. The QUESTEMPII personal monitor is intended to be a part of a well managed heat stress program.

  • Page 4: Functions

    Functions Functions The QUESTEMPII consists of a belt or pocket worn electronic assembly with a thin flexible cable leading up to a small earmold which contains the sensor and a small speaker for an audible alert. The sensing device protrudes from the earmold and a disposable E.A.R.® foam earplug slides over the sensor providing a comfortable vehicle for inserting and maintaining the sensor.
  • Page 5 Functions If the unit is turned on and in run, the calibration may be stored when the CAL button is pressed. If 0---“ appears “ , then press CAL a second time to allow the oral temperature from the digital thermometer to be entered manually.
  • Page 6 Functions temperature exceeds the alarm level.  Turning the unit OFF or printing will abort the RUN mode. If any of CLOCK, PRINT RATE, PRINT, or CAL keys are pressed while in the RUN mode, the display will show that function's setting but the unit will continue to data log and check the temperature.
  • Page 7 Functions alarm will sound if the temperature exceeds 0.5C above the initial chosen alarm level. Toggles between Celsius and Fahrenheit while in the C/F RUN mode. Calibration and alarm levels operate in Celsius only. Shows the battery voltage strength in the display while sounding the audible alarm.

  • Page 8: Defaults

    Printing Printing Defaults The factory settings for the QUESTEMPII are as follows: CLOCK = U.S. Central Time PRINT baud rate = 1200 Baud PRINT RATE = 10 Seconds ALARM LEVEL = 38.0ºC CALibration LEVEL = 0C Temperature units = Celsius The default settings for the CLOCK, PRINT baud rate, PRINT RATE, and ALARM LEVEL can be changed by the user.
  • Page 9 Printing  Note: if the unit is in the RUN mode when printing is initiated, the RUN mode will be canceled and data logging will cease. COMPUTER CABLES: Connect the meter to a computer using cable #58-867 for a 25 pin serial port.

    Print Summary Printout summary Printout summary Start time refers to the clock time when the RUN mode was initiated. End time refers to the clock time when the last RUN was halted by either turning the unit OFF or PRINTING. Total run time is the difference between the start and end times.

  • Page 14: Audible Alarm

    Calibration Calibration At that time, the alarm will sound continuously and the unit will no longer read or store data. If this occurs, turn the unit OFF and replace the battery before its next use. Under normal use, the QUESTEMPII will function for an addition 8 hours from the time when the battery voltage first hits its "Lo"...

  • Page 15: Calibration Method

    Calibration The calibration procedure should be followed before each use. After the initial calibration, if the worker's environment changes by more than 10C, then the QUESTEMPII should be recalibrated in the new environment. Calibration can be done at any time and will not disturb the data logging in the RUN mode. Calibration Method Use this calibration procedure to calibrate the QUESTEMPII by manually entering the core temperature.

    Ear Sensor Use Figure 4 4) Maneuver the ear hanger over the ear. The ear hanger will help to hold the assembly in place throughout the day. (This procedure may feel awkward at first but it will become very easy with continued usages.) A properly fit E.A.R.®...

  • Page 18: E.a.r.® Plug Care

    Operating Operating E.A.R.® Plug Care The E.A.R.® foam earplugs can be washed with soap and water and reused or they can simply be thrown away and replaced. (Remove the E.A.R.® plug from the blue ear mold prior to washing.)  If the black tube separates from the yellow foam or if the plug does not slide properly over the temperature sensor, discard the plug and try another.
