Cable length is shown by last digit (x) of part number: 0 = 0.3 m, 2 = 0.6 m, 3 = 1.0 m, 5 = 2.0 m.
Probe Identity Tags
A bag of eight metal tags to be threaded onto
probe cable to allow easy channel
identification during product probing (part no.
PA2014).
Care of Thermocouples
When coiling thermocouple cables for
storage, ensure the diameter of the coil is not
less than 40 cm (16 in.).
Examine the cables after each profile run, and replace any found to have
damaged insulation.
The thermal cycling which the probes experience causes mineral-insulated
cable to age, and eventually to become brittle. Handle mineral-insulated probes
with care, and ensure the minimum bend radius is greater than 25 mm/1 in.
Food Tray
Food Tracker food trays are designed for use in conveyorized processes to
ensure repeatability/accuracy of process monitoring without any need to stop
the conveyor line or otherwise disturb production. The tray – containing logger/
barrier, fixed probes and products already in place – can be positioned quickly
and efficiently so that probed products lie uniformly across the mesh belt with a
guarantee that the probes remain secure in the product and safe from any risk
of probe cables catching. Hot and cold spots in the oven are thus easily
identified. The procedure is ideal for small, low-height products (chicken
