Temperature Measurement


Contact or non-contact temperature measurements

April 2006 Temperature Measurement

Represented here by Instrotech, specialist Ebro Electronic has released a new thermometer to measure temperature of food. The new TLC 720 dual thermometer with laser pointer measures temperature both with its stainless steel insertion probe for contact measurements and with infrared for non-contact measurements.

TLC 720 is easy to use, cost effective and is suitable for temperature monitoring in kitchens and supermarkets, at goods receipt, and during transport. A drill for measurements in frozen food is included, as well as a factory calibration certificate. The user can choose between °C/°F, Min, Max and Lock. The battery is rechargeable. Operating temperature is 0 to +50°C.

The probe disassembles, allowing the thermometer to be transported in a pocket without risk of damage. The measuring range for core temperature is from -33 to +220°C, accurate to within ±0,5°C in the range of -20 to +20°C - and from ±0,8°C respectively (±1% for lower and higher temperatures).

Non-contact surface temperature measurements are carried out via infrared. This prevents contamination of food, while the laser pointer assists in acquiring 'direct hits'. The measuring range is -33 to +220°C, measured value is up to +1°C in the range of -20 to +20°C and within 2°C respectively and within 2% for lower and higher temperatures. Emissivity is selectable from 0,1 to 1. The laser pointer complies to the standard EN 60825-1. Distance-to-Spot ratio is 3:1.
