Thermor PS200 Operating Instructions

PS200 Thermometer Operating Instructions
This professional food safety thermometer uses infrared technology to offer the convenience of
instant non-contact surface scanning. It can also take any "K" type probe (not included) for critical
internal temperatures. Included are 5 colour faceplates to indicate different departments and avoid
cross contamination.

between MAX and MIN (DIF) and Average (AVG) modes. During the measurement,
the mode reading will be displayed beside the mode icon.
Press <Up> key ( 4 ) or <Down> key ( 2 ) to change the temperature setting of the High
Alarm (HAL) or Low Alarm (LAL), then press <Meas.> key (
you have set the LAL to < 27.1˚C and the current temperature reading is 27°C, the LOW icon
will flash and you will hear a beep. Connect the thermocouple to the Thermocouple Socket
( 10 ) and put the probe in/on the target, the thermometer will display the temperature
automatically. To see the minimum or maximum data during the probe measurement,
hold down the <Up> key ( 4 ) or <Down> key (
After measuring high temperatures, the probe may be hot. Avoid touching the
probe before it cools.
The thermometer will automatically shut off if left idle for more than 60 seconds, unless in <PROBE
(PRB)> mode. (In PRB mode, it will shut off if left idle for more than 12 minutes.)

When the 'Low Battery' icon indicates the batteries are low, the batteries should be replaced
immediately with 2 x AAA, 1.5V batteries. Please note: It is important to turn the instrument off
before replacing the batteries otherwise the thermometer may malfunction.
Dispose of used batteries promptly and keep away from children.
