Digital Waterproof Lollipop Thermometers (11036, 11040, 11050)
Is the Lollipop thermometer the right product for measuring thin product like grilled meats.
For thinner products it is better to use a 11063 Digital Probe thermometer or Thermocouple with a needle type probe.
Why is my Lollipop thermometer not turning on?
The battery is low – replace the battery. If this does not work call DeltaTrak Technical Support for assistance.
How deep in the product should I insert the probe for greatest accuracy.
Insertion of at least 3” is recommended for greatest accuracy. The probe can be inserted less but the response time takes longer, more accuracy will be as the depth decreases. The type of material being measured - semisolids and liquids give a faster response time and will be more accurate. Also stirred or circulating fluids work the best. Generally, the greater the difference between the air temperature and the product being tested – the slower the response time and less accurate measurement. Deeper probe depth can help with this.
How do I replace the battery in my 11036 Lollipop thermometer?
Remove the 4 screws on the back, pull back cover off (newer models have smaller battery cover with 2 screws). Remove battery and replace then reassemble.
How do I replace the battery in my 11050 Lollipop thermometer?
Use a coin inserted in the slot on the back of the thermometer to turn the battery cover. Replace the battery and battery cover and tighten the battery cover.
My lollipop thermometer won’t turn off. What can I do?
Try removing the battery and replacing it to reset the thermometer.
I believe my calibration is off – how can I check and/or adjust it?
It can be verified using crushed ice and water. If it has an ‘Cal” button it must be calibrated at “ice point” using the calibration procedure.
Can I calibrate my “auto-cal” Lollipop probe thermometer at other temperatures other than ice point (0.0°C, 32°F)?
All Lollipop thermometers with “Cal” button must be calibrated at ice point and can only be verified at other temperatures.
My 11036 Lollipop thermometer does not have a “Cal” button – how can I calibrate it?
It must be calibrated with crushed ice and water unless you have a certified reference standard to calibrate at other temperatures. The center screw on the back of the thermometer must be removed and the unit calibration is adjusted using a very small jeweler’s screwdriver.
My Lollipop thermometer is showing “---.-”, 888.8, shows a faded display, is locked at a temperature, the temperature is way off or will not turn off?
Try removing the battery and putting it back in to reset the thermometer. Also try replacing the battery. If this fails call DeltaTrak Technical Support for assistance.
My Lollipop thermometer has moisture inside – can I fix it?
Once water is inside the unit it is unlikely that it will continue working. Even if it dries out the calibration may be affected or corrosion may form inside.
Is 10 seconds long enough for my Lollipop thermometer to get accurate readings?
No. Most cycles are 30 sec or you could run it 2 times for the test.
My Lollipop thermometer always displays the same reading?
The Min or Max reading is showing. Push the Min/Max button until they do not show.
What materials are the exposed parts of the Lollipop thermometer made of?
The case is Polycarbonate ABS Plastic and the probe is 4.13” Stainless Steel.
Are your thermometers HACCP compliant?
Our thermometers are tools to assist you with HACCP compliance for monitoring critical control points within a properly developed HACCP plan. They meet requirements of the US FDA Food Code 2017. There is no official HACCP certification for thermometers and other equipment, it is the businesses which handle food that must be HACCP compliant.
What is HACCP compliance?
HACCP Compliance applies to businesses involved with any and every aspect of food handling. Facilities and companies should be certified as HACCP compliant. This certification recognizes that a food business has developed, documented and implemented systems and procedures in accordance with the seven principals of HACCP. Each business will have their own plan based on their specific operation. Certification is given by an external third party authority which has knowledge and skills required to assess the HACCP plan, and perform an on-site audit to determine that the plan is being properly implemented and followed within the facility.
