The 1442 has a 2-line readout LCD display that
measures 3.3 Inches in wide by 1.25 Inches tall. The top line is for temperature display and displays temperature from the left sensor probe
in the upper left portion of the LCD panel and temperature
from the right probe is displayed on the upper right. The bottom
line is for displaying the clock (24 hour format only), and the status of
the probes or the alarm event records.
The measuring range of the Taylor 1442 thermometer is
-40°F to +221°F or -40°C to +105°C in 0.1° increments. The operating
temperature range for the thermometer body is -4°F to +140°F or -20°C
to +60°C. You select °F or °C by pressing the left UP and DOWN buttons
simultaneously.
On the front of the 1442 are three control pushbuttons for each sensor
probe, SET, UP, and DOWN, as well as a password button, which allows the
user to enter a password for operational security. The 1442 does not have
an ON/OFF power button as it works once the batteries are installed and
has an LCD idle function to preserve battery life.
Pressing the SET button allows setting
target temperature points, confirming setting operation, and scrolling
alarm records. The left UP and DOWN buttons are used for scrolling through
alarm events and increasing or decreasing displayed value. In addition to the
seven control pushbuttons on the front of the unit is a small system reset
pushbutton in the battery compartment. You
can press it to reboot the 1442's microprocessor and sequence the start
time of the min/max recording periods.
The temperature displays automatically turn
off 10 minutes after being turned on. However, the 1442's advanced
microprocessor circuit continues to record temperature data when the
displays are off. This maximizes battery life because the displays are on
only for the time needed to read the temperature and recall min/max data.
For powering, the 1442 requires two AAA (1.5V)
battery, which is not included and must be obtained separately. We
recommend using an alkaline battery unless the
thermometer body will be located where temperatures remain below freezing
for extended periods. In this case, install a lithium battery instead of
an alkaline battery. A low-battery indicator on the display tells you when
replacement is necessary. When replacing the battery, be sure to replace
the battery compartment cover correctly with its gasket in place to
maintain watertight integrity. As mentioned above, the Taylor
1442 is
designed for indoor or outdoor use.
For more than 150 years, Taylor measurement
products have been the professional's choice for accuracy, readability,
and durability, and the 1442 is no exception. With functional, no-nonsense
styling and precision craftsmanship, the Taylor 1442 Digital Maximum/Minimum Thermometer
an
excellent choice when accurate temperature measurement via probe is
required at two separate locations in close proximity to one another. The 1442
is covered by a Taylor 1-year limited warranty.
