GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI99551
and
HI99556
thermometers employ infrared technol-
ogy to measure the surface temperature.
Infrared measurements are extremely practical with a fast
response time, typically around 1 second.
Another main advantage is the non-intrusive nature of the
measurement, which is particularly attractive in the food
industry since it translates itself into substantial savings by
leaving products intact, especially those sealed or pre-wrapped.
This type of non-intrusive measurement is also useful when the
surface temperature is high, for difficult-to-reach places or due
to hygiene requirements.
Simply point to the product or the spot and hold down the
measurement key. The measured value will be immediately
displayed on the LCD.
If in addition to surface measurement, you must check the core
temperature too, then
HI99556
is the ideal solution: simply
attach the external probe to the meter and you will have a 2-in-1
infrared-thermistor thermometer.
Different models are available, with different temperature ranges.
Hanna Instruments reserves the right to modify the design,
construction and appearance of its products without advance notice.
