Operating and Ambient Temperature Range
The food safety thermometer is designed to operate in environments between 0 °C – 50 °C (32 °F – 122 °F). Avoid subjecting the unit to extreme or abrupt changes in ambient temperatures. Allow the unit to stabilize for a minimum of 30 minutes if exposed to rapid temperature changes. Failure to precondition the instrument to the ambient temperature may result in measurement errors (Figure 11).

Response Time
The response time of the instrument from initial start up is less than 1 second. The temperature display is updated at approximately 2 times per second during sustained operation.
