ALARM INSTRUCTIONS (alarms are optional on most models)  
SETTING THE HIGH/LOW ALARM  
Press the MODE button until the unit is in the ALARM DISPLAY MODE indicated by the display 
of current temperature and HI and LO alarm settings. 
To set the HIGH temperature alarm limit, press the HI button to advance the display in 1° incre-
ments until the desired high temperature is displayed. Press and hold the HI button to rapidly 
advance the display in 5° increments. 
To set the LOW temperature alarm limit, press the LO button to advance the display in 1° incre-
ments until the desired low temperature is displayed. Press and hold the LO button to rapidly 
advance the display in 5° increments. 
ALARM  
The unit will sound the alarm in both NORMAL DISPLAY
 MODE and ALARM DISPLAY MODE. 
Slide the ALARM ON/OFF switch to ON. When the current temperature display rises above the 
HI set  point, or  falls below the LO  set point, the alarm will sound for 1  minute and  issue  a 3- 
second  repeater  beep  every  minute  thereafter,  for  up  to  12  hours.  The  alarm  will  continue  to  sound  even  if  the  current 
temperature display returns to an “in range” condition. 
To temporarily silence the alarm, press either the HI or LO button on the back of the unit. The unit is still active and the alarm will 
sound  again if  the temperature goes out  of range.  To permanently silence  the alarm, slide the ALARM ON/OFF  switch  to the 
OFF position. 
OPERATION MODES  
SUMMIT  alarms  have  two  operating  modes:  NORMAL  DISPLAY  MODE  and  ALARM  DISPLAY  MODE.  To  change  from  one 
mode to another, press the MODE button once.  
NORMAL  DISPLAY  MODE  is  indicated  by the  display  of  current  temperature  and  the  MIN  (minimum)  and  MAX  (maximum) 
temperatures. These temperatures relate to external (probe) temperature if the probe is plugged in, and to ambient temperature 
if the sensor probe is removed.  
ALARM  DISPLAY  MODE  is  indicated  by  the  display  of  current  temperature  and  the  HI  and  LO  alarm  settings.  These 
temperatures relate to external (probe) temperature if the probe is plugged in, and to ambient temperature if the sensor probe is 
removed. 
RESETTING THE UNIT  
Use a pointed object to push the RESET button on the
 back of the unit. It is necessary to reset the unit whenever a change is 
made to °C/°F temperature or FAST/NORMAL sampling rate, or if the probe sensor is plugged in or removed. 
Note: HI/LO temperature alarm settings and MIN/MAX memories will be cleared after resetting the unit. 
SELECTING THE SAMPLING RATE  
To select normal sampling rate (60 seconds) or fast sampling rate (10 seconds), slide the switch on the back of the unit to 
NORMAL or FAST. 
Note: The unit must be reset after changing the sampling rate. Using the NORMAL sampling rate will extend battery life. 
RESETTING MIN/MAX MEMORIES  
There are two ways to reset the memories: 
1
.  To reset both Minimum and Maximum memories, press the MEMORY CLEAR button. 
2.  To reset individual Minimum and Maximum memories, press either the MIN or MAX button (on back of unit) once to reset the 
respective memory. The other memory will remain unaffected. 
Note: You must be in Normal Display Mode to reset the memories.
