HI 148 Series
Thermometers
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 148 is an indicator for the monitoring of food temperature
in different production cycles.
Constructed in a compact casing and with a molded eye, HI
148 can be installed on the QC bench or wherever necessary to
control the ambient temperature of food chain, from the
storage room to the point of delivery.
The housing has been completely sealed against vapors and
humidity.
The measurement range is from -20 to 60ºC (-4 to 140ºF) with
an excellent ±0.5ºC (±0.9ºF) accuracy. The stainless steel
encapsulated sensor is positioned right on the outer body of this
thermometer to provide a rapid response.
In order to ensure that temperature control is never inter-
rupted, HI 148 runs permanently on a 12VDC power supply.
Temperature is constantly displayed on a large LCD so that the
operator can check it at any time.
HI 148 also offers a unique alarm control. Any value from 0 to
50.0ºC or 32 to 122ºF can be adjusted as the setpoint through
a trimmer located on the back of the meter. Should the
temperature exceed this user-selectable setpoint, the red LED
blinks to warn of an abnormality. The built-in LED is well visible
from a distance.
This alarm is a cost-saving feature with a tremendous poten-
tial. It can be used as a forewarning that the refrigeration or
air conditioning unit is malfunctioning, or that a door has
been left open, or point to any other mishaps, common in a
busy workplace.
HI 148 is a convenient and very inexpensive way to ensure
that temperature of the environment in which food is pre-
pared, kept and served never varies too much from the limits
imposed by the HACCP regulations. In fact , the meter frees
workers from having to manually check the temperature and
immediately signals if and when an abnormality arises.
Celsius and Fahrenheit models are available.
