Cooper-Atkins® Blue2 Thermocouple Instrument

See Wireless Temperature Readings for a list of Bluetooth® thermocouple devices that are Mobile Auditor-compatible for capturing temperatures.

The Cooper-Atkins® Blue2 Thermocouple Instrument can be set by the user to display temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius via the Cooper-Atkins app. Mobile Auditor records and displays the temperature from this thermocouple device without any conversion. If the Cooper-Atkins device is set to display in Fahrenheit, the temperature in Mobile Auditor will display in Fahrenheit. If the Cooper-Atkins device is set to display in Celsius, Mobile Auditor will display the temperature in Celsius.

To take a temperature reading with the Cooper-Atkins® Blue2 Thermocouple Instrument

1. Log in to Mobile Auditor.
2. If necessary, connect and update.
3. When you come to an audit question that requires a temperature reading, click the power button on the Cooper-Atkins® device to pair it with Mobile Auditor. Clicking the power button will cause the Bluetooth indicator light above the power button to flash green.
   

   If Mobile Auditor does not detect the thermocouple device, the following alert will display: Unable to pair. Please check the device is on and ready to pair.







4. Click the Bluetooth symbol next to the question to sync Mobile Auditor to the Cooper-Atkins device. When the devices are paired, the color of the Bluetooth icon will change from black to blue, and the indicator light on the Cooper-Atkins device will change from flashing green to flashing blue.
   

   When you click the Bluetooth icon to for a temperature reading, and Bluetooth is not active on the device, the following reminder will display:



 


5. Click READ next to the audit question that requires a temperature reading, then place the temperature probe in the correct position to capture the temperature.
   
   
   

   After you click READ, the temperature probe will scan the temperature for the time specified in the Mobile Auditor configuration settings. During that time, a visual indicator will display the current temperature in the temperature field every second as it is detected by the probe.  When the temperature stabilizes, the final temperature reading will display in the answer field. If the temperature does not stabilize within 10 seconds, Mobile Auditor will emit an audible "failed" reading sound alerting the user to re-take the temperature.    In the example below, Mobile Auditor displayed an increasing temperature before displaying the final temperature.

6. The temperature will be recorded wirelessly and will be visible in the answer field for that question.
   

   Mobile Auditor will emit an audible tone upon success or failure of the device when the temperature reading has been transmitted. If the device fails to transmit the temperature, you can still enter the data manually into Mobile Auditor, and the app will record that the input was entered manually versus wirelessly.
