The alarm function tells you when
its time to change the oil
The LED alarm bar in the display
lights up either yellow or red when
your quality limit values are exceeded
(e.g. 18 % TPM for a lower alarm point
– yellow; 24% TPM for a higher alarm
point – red). Alarms are also triggered
if the frying temperature is too high.
Green = cooking oil is OK
Yellow = get ready to change the oil
Red = change the oil

Reduce your costs and ensure fried food quality
It may not look it at first glance, but frying is a complex and dynamic
process. Cooking oil, as it fries foods, breaks down because of
interactions between the oil, food, heat, and oxygen in the air.
By-products, or total polar materials (TPM) are produced, the most
common index of oil abuse
(1)
. TPM is the generic term for free fatty
acids (FFA), monoglycerides, diglycerides, and a number of oxidation
products (aldehydes or ketones) found in cooking oil as it breaks
down.
The model 270 measures all these by-products in %TPM, from 0 to
40% TPM. Many companies use 24% TPM as a maximum limit.
You can even measure the quality of your stored or make-up oil, or
to check when different oil blends are used.

Because cooking/frying oil is a significant
part of your food cost, changing it too frequently can be like throwing your money
away. In today’s fast-paced and competitive
environment, you need to make every drop
count. But not changing your oil often
enough can cause poor food quality and
lower customer satisfication. So use the
testo 270 to be sure.
1.
Unique sensor design
The heart of the 270 is its sensor design
embedded in a rugged housing. A special
protective layer makes it easy to clean and
resistant to handling and scratches.
2. Temperature-compensated sensor
Enables both sequential measurements of
fryers without cool down between measurements and calibration at room temperature.
3.
Analyzed reference oil
The oil is included with every kit and provides
an accurate, repeatable means of periodically
checking the instrument performance.
