Description

The HI935008 is a waterproof portable T-Type thermocouple thermometer made for the food professional that is required to monitor temperature as part of a hazardous analysis of critical control points (HACCP) plan including in food service, production, packaging, transportation, restaurants or catering. The HI935008, as a meter, can measure over a wide range of temperatures from -50.0 ℃ (-58.0 ℉) up to 300 ℃ (572 ℉) and offers a very high accuracy of ±0.4 ℃ (±0.7 ℉). The accuracy of the meter is assured with advanced diagnostic features including CAL-Check that checks for abnormal drift of the internal electronics, battery error prevention system (BEPS) that will not allow a reading to be taken when there is not sufficient battery power and probe diagnostics that alert the user when the probe has been damaged.

HI935008 Foodcare thermometer is supplied with an attached T-Type thermocouple penetration probe that will reach 90% of the final reading within 15 seconds. The tip of the probe is just 3 mm (0.12″) in diameter allowing for easy penetrations into solids and semi-solids. The AISI 316 stainless steel body is 155 mm (6.1″) long and is safe for food contact in compliance with Regulation (EC) 1935/2004.

The HI935008 with the fixed attached penetration probe is certified according to EN13485:2001 standard that has strict requirements for accuracy, response time, operating and storage conditions as applied to the measurement of product temperature which are intended for use in transportation, storage and distribution facilities of refrigerated, frozen or deep-frozen food and ice cream.

There are many considerations when designing a thermometer for the food professional. Below are features that we considered to be important and beneficial.

CAL Check

The calibration check (CAL Check) feature of the HI935008 is an internal diagnostic feature that checks for any drift in the electronics that occurs with all digital thermometers over time. When the meter is turned CAL Check looks to see if the internal calibration is within ±0.3 ℃. If the drift is greater and error (err) message will be displayed. With CAL Check you can be confident that the meter is working properly.

Low Battery Indicator

The included AAA batteries provide 3500 hours of continuous use. When the battery level is below 10%, a warning symbol will blink to indicate low battery condition. When low battery power may affect your results, the meter will shut down to avoid erroneous readings caused by low battery level.

Damaged Probe Messages

The “NO PROBE” message is displayed on the meter when the signal is interrupted between the probe and meter. If the probe is damaged the message will be displayed along with four blinking dashed lines. For an accurate temperature measurement it is important to know that not only is the meter working properly but that the probe is okay.

Fast Response Probe

The T-Type thermocouple penetration probe that will reach 90% of the final reading within 15 seconds.

Small Penetration Tip

The tip of the probe is just 3 mm (0.12″) in diameter allowing for easy penetrations into solids and semi-solids.

AISI316 Stainless Steel Body

The AISI 316 stainless steel body is 155 mm (6.1″) long and is safe for food contact in compliance with Regulation (EC) 1935/2004.

Additional Features/Benefits:

Supplied with Instrument Quality Certificate

• HI935008 with the attached probe are calibrated according to an ISO9001 calibration system using standards and reference instruments in which the accuracy is traceable the National Institute of Standards (NIST) in the USA, or to internationally acceptable physical standards. For traceability, the HI935008 meter is supplied with an instrument quality certificate including measured values along with reference values.

Large LCD

• An enhanced LCD displays the measurement reading in ℃ or ℉, stability indicator, error messages, and low battery indicator.

Stability Indicator

• An hourglass indicator is displayed on the LCD until a stable reading is obtained. Once a reading stabilizes, the indicator disappears and a reading can be taken.

Automatic Shut-off

• The meter can be set to automatically turn off after 8 minutes or 60 minutes to conserve battery life in the event that the meter is left on. The auto-off feature can also be disabled.

Ergonomic, rugged, waterproof (IP65) design

• For additional protection the HI710027 shockproof rubber boot is available as an accessory.
