Introduction
The TeirmiLab is a thermometer with some extra capabilities.
The design allows for these features:
- Range -55 to 125°C (-67°F to +257°F)
- ±0.5°C Accuracy from -10°C to +85°C
- Reading in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin
- Alarm capability with visual and audio notification
- Offset capability for better tuning the sensor
Operations
Turning the unit On
Verify to have the temperature sensor connected to the instrument via its connector.
Then push the power button.
The light on the power button will flash, indicating that the instrument is powering on.
After approx 30 seconds, the power button light will be steady ON and the LCD display will show a welcome message for few seconds, followed by the temperature reading.
If for any reason the instrument is not starting correctly, the power will be removed automatically.
Contact the TheFwGuy for help if the problem persist.
It is highly discouraged to remove the power supply from the instrument while is working!
Removing the power from the instrument could damage the memory card and thus having the instrument not working anymore (contact the TheFwGuy to restore functionality).
To correctly power down the instrument, push the power button.
The light on the power button will start to flash indicating that the power off procedure started.
When the power off procedure is completed and it is safe to remove the power, the light on the power button will stop to flash turning off, and the power will be removed automatically.
One is used to bright or dim the display.
The other is an encoder with a switch. Pressing the knob will change the instrument mode sequentially.
The available modes are :
Note. Before to access the menu', it can require to push the encoder knob for a couple of seconds.
If the selection is On, pressing the Mode button will go to the Setting Alarm Value selection.

General settings
The instrument has two knobs just below the display.One is used to bright or dim the display.
The other is an encoder with a switch. Pressing the knob will change the instrument mode sequentially.
The available modes are :
- Run (default - the instrument starts on this mode)
- Measurement unit setting
- Enabling/Disabling alarm
- Setting alarm value (only if alarm enabled)
- Setting offset value
- Reset the TeirmiLab
- back to number 1
To change mode, simply press the encoder knob.
To change value, rotate the knob clockwise or counterclockwise
Note. Before to access the menu', it can require to push the encoder knob for a couple of seconds.
Measurement unit setting
The LCD will display on the top line "Set Unit" and on the bottom line "Celsius" or "Fahrenheit" or "Kelvin".
Turning the knob clockwise or counterclockwise will change the selection.
To exit from the Measurement unit setting mode, press the Mode button once.
The setting displayed will be used.
The setting displayed will be used.
Enabling/Disabling alarm
The LCD will display on the top line "Enable Alarm" and on the bottom line should be present the current status : On or Off (default Off).
Turning the knob clockwise or counterclockwise will change the selection.
If the selection is Off, pressing the Mode button will skip the Alarm Value step, going directly to the Set Offset Value selection.
If the selection is Off, pressing the Mode button will skip the Alarm Value step, going directly to the Set Offset Value selection.
Setting alarm value
The LCD will display on the top line "Set Alarm" and on the bottom line will be present the last setting for the alarm.
Turning the knob clockwise will increment the alarm value, turning it counterclockwise will decrements the alarm value.
The allowed range for the alarm is :
The allowed range for the alarm is :
- Celsius, from -40 C to +120 C
- Fahrenheit from -40F to +248F
- Kelvin from 233K to 393K
During the Run time, the TeirmiLab will display the current temperature in Green.
When the Alarm temperature is reached, the screen will become Red and a sound will be generated.
Press the Mode button once to reset the Alarm.
Set offset value
The LCD will display on the top line "Set Offset" and on the bottom line will be present the last setting for the offset.
Turning the knob clockwise will increment the offset value, turning it counterclockwise will decrements the offset value.
The offset is used to change the temperature reading in case the sensor measurements are not correct.
Reset the TeirmiLab
The LCD will display on the top line "Reset ?" and on the bottom line will be present the last choice as "Yes" and "No"
Turning the knob clockwise or counterclockwise will change the selection.
If the selection is "Yes", pressing the knob will cause the Reset.
The configuration file will be erased and re-created with the default values.
