An Alarm Thermometer with One or Two Probes

| By Chemical Engineering

This alarm thermometer can be used to ensure that temperature-sensitive chemicals stored in both refrigerators and freezers do not deteriorate. Featuring tamper-resistant audible and visual alarms, the instrument comes in a two-probe model (MM125; photo) that can monitor both refrigerators and freezers simultaneously and a single-probe model (MM120). Features include: a visual display of the alarm that remains even if temperatures are no longer out of range, alerting supervisors to the need for remedial action; alarm controls on the back of the unit, making it tamper-resistant once mounted on the outside of the refrigeration unit; large LCD display of current temperatures, minimum and maximum temperatures, alarm conditions and battery levels; and an automatic scrolling display of refrigerator and freezer conditions every five seconds. Both models are continuous, calibrated and certified thermometers that are able to monitor temperatures in the range of – 58 to 158°F (– 50 to 70°C). — Dickson, Addison, Ill.
