Temperature Profile

Monitor your temperature readings and receive notifications if they exceed the designated limits.

The temperature profile question type enables you to monitor your temperature readings over a set period and receive notifications if they exceed the designated limits. 

With this feature, you can stay ahead of any potential risks and take proactive measures to monitor Hot-Holding and Cooling methods with ease. A temperature graph is a valuable tool that allows you to compare expected versus actual values, giving you a quick and comprehensive summary of your data.

Setting up the Hub & Sensors

To start, you'll need to set up the Hub. 

1. Find a place by your internet router that's free of obstructions
2. Screw on RF aerial to your Hub and the sensor aerials to your Sensors 
3. Connect the power supply to your Hub and turn the Hub on. This makes the power light go Red 
4. Take out the LAN cable. Connect this to the Hub (in the LAN port) and your Internet Router. This should make the net light flash green every few seconds. The RF light will flash blue only when the sensors send data every few minutes.

Store your sensors in a clean and easy-to-access place. Once your form is set up, you will choose the sensor within the Form. 

Cooling Profile Form

You can add the  Cooling Profile Form to your account when purchasing these sensors. This gives you the ability to customize your cooling process to your specific requirements. The form allows you to select the relevant food item and your desired cooling parameters. 

The system continuously monitors the temperature and can notify you if it goes out of bounds, ensuring that your food items are cooled efficiently and effectively, maintaining their quality and safety.

To do this:

1. Log in to the Admin Console (Computer Login) 
2. Go to the Form Tabs
3. Search for the Cooling Profile Form
4. Click on the Cooling Profile question
5. Add or Adjust the parameters like - cooling time & desired temperature limits
6. Save

You may also want to update the schedule of this form depending on your Cooling Foods frequency (e.g. Daily or Weekly). 

Stop Temperature Readings

Simply click the tick box to stop your temperature readings when your upper limit of target temperatures has been hit. This should improve the validity of your Temperature Records, and stop the sensor from recording temperatures after the highest limit has been hit.
