Operator Manual
For C22 Model only:
Meets the requirements of DIN
EN 13485:2002
"Thermometers for measuring
the air and product
temperature for the transport,
storage and distribution of
chilled, frozen, deep-
frozen/quick frozen food and
ice-cream"
Connecting Probes to the Thermometers
C20 series thermometers have either sub-miniature or
Lumberg sockets for probe connection and offer a class
leading choice between Comark thermistor, type T
thermocouple or type K thermocouple probes.
The polarity of the connector must always be checked before
connecting thermocouple probes to C20 series thermometers.
A probe of the correct thermocouple type must also be
selected to match the specific thermometer. C20 series
thermometers with Lumberg sockets will automatically detect
the sensor type of the probe connected. The LCD will then
indicate thermistor probes as "PST", and type T thermocouple
probes as "T". Models with Sub-Min connector are of fixed
thermocouple type, see specifications for details.
Switching On and Off
Display Test/Mode
The 'ON/OFF' button on the keypad is used to switch on the
thermometer. After a short pause the display will show the
current model of the instrument and will then revert to normal
temperature display. The current time is also permanently
displayed on the LCD.
Data Hold
All C20 series thermometers have a data hold facility. If the 'II'
button is pressed at any time during normal temperature
mode, the current temperature will be held on the display. To
release press 'II'.
Countdown Timer
All C20 series thermometers have a countdown timer. This
function is activated from the Set Up Menu – see section
below, and can be calibrated in seconds/minutes or hours.
Pressing the countdown timer button will start this function.
Pressing the button again during the countdown period will
stop the count. The instrument will beep for 30 seconds at the
end of a countdown period to indicate to the user that it has
been completed.
