Testo 174T [0572 1560] Mini Temperature Data Logger

The Testo 174T (0572 1560) Mini Temperature Data Logger features a large display and alarm indication that makes it ideal for continuous monitoring of storage temperature. This temperature measurement logger is long lasting for continuous use and is highly accurate. The temperature measurement logger includes free software available as a download for easy data analysis. Because storage temperatures should never exceed specific limit values, the 174T records the temperatures values and alerts when thresholds have been exceeded.

Applications
Monitoring and Documentation of the Temperature in Cold Rooms
Many foods and drugs have to be stored within a specific cold temperature range. This can be done in individual cooled store rooms, but also in specialized cold stores or cold warehouses with high-rack facilities. The temperature must be continuously documented in all these cold storage facilities, because strict rules apply to quality management in both the food and drugs industries.

Data loggers such as the 174T are usually installed at the so-called critical control points (CCPs) of the cold room, in order to identify any possible temperature deviations and to introduce appropriate countermeasures. Critical points are for instance doors or passages through to other temperature areas within a warehouse.

Monitoring and Documentation of Transport Temperature
For all goods which react sensitively to temperature fluctuations or have to be stored within a predefined temperature range, uninterrupted measurement data recording and documentation play a major role.

Incorrect temperature conditions during transport can lead to major losses of quality, including the total loss of value of the products that require monitoring.

Using a data logger like the 174T, shipments can be checked for compliance with the specified temperature ranges and the data can then be read, analyzed and archived by means of special software.
