14010, 14011, 14012 Electronic Circular Temperature Chart Recorder FAQs
Will the Chart Recorder run on batteries?
The primary power source is wall power but it will run on a 6 AAA battery backup for approximately 48 hrs.
Can the probe cable be extended in length?
Yes the cable can be extended up to 95’ using 10’ lengths.
Can I put the probe in water?
Although the probe is water-resistant it is not a good idea to immerse the probe above the strain relief because if moisture gets in the probe it can cause the probe to be inaccurate.
Can I use the probe for cool-down or cooking?
This product only measures up to 120°F. It is mainly designed for monitoring ambient temperature and refrigerated areas. Also moisture can enter the probe and higher cooking temperatures may melt the cable or strain relief.
Why is my Chart Recorder reading inaccurate temperatures on the chart but the LCD Display is good?
The accuracy of the pen must be adjusted periodically especially after replacing the pens as this stress can alter the calibration of the pen arms. Use the procedure in the user manual to adjust.
Why is the pen arm loose and the temperature way off from the one on the LCD display?
It is possible the pen arm is loose on the shaft due to high stress possibly during pen or chart replacement.
