Thermometer
Product Statement
Thank you for purchasing this food safety thermometer. We are confident
that you will be pleased with the quality and performance of this product.
Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the operation,
features, and benefits of this fine product. This food safety thermometer
combines two precision thermometers in one unit: a specially calibrated
noncontact infrared thermometer (IRT) and a calibrated resistance thermal
device (RTD) penetration probe. The noncontact mode can be used for
quick scans of a surface temperature, while the probe mode is used to
accurately measure internal temperatures.
