💡 The calibration of the Needle should be performed at least once per month by kitchen staff and applies to the needle only, not the Infrared (IR). Follow the below instructions to perform the calibration:
Step 1
🔎 Start by inspecting the needle for any visible damage to the needle or the connector. If it is damaged please contact Navitas Safety.
Insert the needle into the probe and you should see the status change from “IR Probe” to “Ready to eat probe”.
Step 2
From the home screen, now select the settings cog wheel ⚙️
Click on Calibrate Thermometer.
Now select the user from the “Who are you?” screen. This must be the user carrying out the calibration.
Enter your pin number.
Step 3
There will now be two options: 🌡️ Boiling Point Calibration or ❄️ Freezer Point Calibration. Choose and follow the instructions showing up on the screen:
🌡️ Boiling Point Calibration:
Heat water until it is boiling
Put the end of the SmartProbe needle into the boiling water
Pull the SmartProbe trigger (button on the rear of the handle) to take the temperature
If the temperature is between 99° and 101°C, it is compliant! ✅
❄️ Freezer Point Calibration:
Add crushed ice to a bowl
Put the end of the SmartProbe needle into the ice
Pull the SmartProbe trigger (button on the rear of the handle) to take the temperature
If the temperature is between -1°C and 1°C, it is compliant! ✅
Once the reading is taken, the SmartProbe will automatically return to the home screen and submit the temperature data to the platform as shown below.
You can then check your main platform to ensure the temperature has been successfully recorded as shown below. Nicely done! 👍
