  • Page 11: Battery Installation

    Battery Installation Battery backup The ThermaViewer has two types of batteries. One is a small “button” type battery that is not user accessible. Its purpose is to ensure an accurate date and time. It has an estimated ten-year life span. The second battery is a nine-volt, user-accessible battery requiring periodic replacement. Its purpose is to supply temporary backup power during a power outage.

    19. The Buttons 1. The ESC key is used two different ways, depending upon the mode of the ThermaViewer: • In the Active Mode the ESC key toggles the choice of probes (one or two). • In the Menu Mode the ESC key moves the cursor back one field and the original entry for that field is retained.
  • Page 15 User Controls (continued) 4. Up arrow key • In the Active or Trace Modes, pressing this key causes the display to zoom in. The zoom-in effect causes the time frame of the graph to change. For example, if the current graph is set to show four temperatures in each column, pushing the Up arrow key causes the parameters to change so that each column only shows two temperatures, etc.
  • Page 17 User Controls (continued) 6. Left arrow key. • In the Active Mode, pushing the Left arrow causes the displayed data to scroll left one screen at a time. • In the Trace Mode pushing the Left arrow key causes the double headed arrow on the bottom data display line to move left.

  • Page 21 6. In the zoomed-out mode more than one collected temperature appears in each column. So if the ThermaViewer is set to store data every minute and the graph is set to “each column = 2 minutes,” then each column will have a vertical line in it with the high temperature as the top of the line and the low temperature being the bottom of the line (see illustration at left).
