AZ 8838 Laser and Probe HACCP Thermometer

AZ 8838 Laser and Probe HACCP Thermometer

• Wide Temperature Measurement Range:
Measurements can be taken with an infrared (IR) sensor in the range of -40°C to +280°C and with a stainless steel probe in the range of -40°C to +200°C.

• High Sensitivity and Fast Response Time:
The infrared sensor of the device provides a measurement in as little as 500 milliseconds. The RTD type Pt100 probe offers high sensitivity up to ±0.5°C.

• Countdown Feature:
The device is equipped with a countdown timer up to 9 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. It gives an audible alarm when the timer reaches zero. This feature allows monitoring of temperature over a specific period in HACCP applications.

• LED Warning System:
Warning lights illuminate based on the temperature condition during measurement:
– Green LED: Lights up if the temperature is <4°C or >60°C.
– Red LED: Lights up if the temperature is between 4°C–60°C (indicates a dangerous temperature range).

• Contactless and Contact Measurement Capability:
– Infrared sensor: Measures surface temperature without contact.
– RTD Pt100 probe: Accurately measures the temperature of liquid and semi-solid samples with direct contact.

• IP65 Protection Class:
The device is resistant to dust and water splashes.

• Usage Areas:
With its HACCP compliant structure, it can be used in food processing, restaurants, bakeries, and home kitchen applications. Suitable for semi-solid and liquid foods; not recommended for hard and frozen materials.

• Practical Use:
– MODE button: Switches between infrared and probe modes, activates the timer.
– SET button: Allows switching between °C / °F units and increasing the timer duration.
– MEANS button: Functions as a measurement and timer start.

• Additional Features:
– Backlit LCD screen
– Hold feature
– Maximum temperature memory
– 3:1 target ratio
– Illuminated measurement point display

What is RTD Type Pt100 Probe?

RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) is a sensor that measures temperature based on resistance change. The term Pt100 means the sensor gives a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C.
These probes made of platinum:

• Provide high accuracy,

• Stable performance,

• Long life, and

• Reliable measurements over a wide temperature range.

Commonly used in areas requiring precise temperature control such as food, laboratory, industrial production, and quality control.
