2. Intended purpose4

2. Intended purpose

This chapter gives the areas of application for which the
product is intended.

Use the product only for those applications for which it was
designed. Ask Testo if you are in any doubt.

testo 112 is a compact, accurate measuring instrument for
measuring temperatures by means of plug-in temperature
probes. Thanks to the possibility of connecting not only
NTC probes, but also Pt100 probes, the testo 112 covers
a wide measurement range and at the same time provides
a high level of measurement accuracy.

The following components of the product are designed for continuous
contact with foodstuffs in accordance with the regulation
(EC) 1935/2004:
The measurement probe up to 1 cm before the probe handle or the
plastic housing. If provided, the information about penetration depths
in the instruction manual or the mark(s) on the measurement probes
should be noted.

The product was designed for the following
tasks/applications:

· Food sector

· Laboratories

· Applications requiring official calibration (only relevant for
Germany):

The testo 112 is approved for official calibration by the
Physikalisch-Technisches Institut PTB (national
metrology institute in Germany).

Approval mark:

The product should not be used in the following areas:

· Areas at risk of explosion

· Diagnostic measurements for medical purposes
