Description
Compatible with FC097 Removable Meat Blade
The tester is compatible with the separately-sold FC097 removable meat blade accessory (with o-ring). The design features a 25-mm (0.98″) blade-cutout opening for direct contact with the sample. This design is suitable for processes that need to comply with food-hygiene and Hazard Analysis Critical Control (HACCP) regulations.
Conical Tip Design
The conical tip design allows for easy penetration into solids and semisolids, which is needed when wanting to take a direct measurement in meat.
pH Electrode with Replaceable Bridge Electrolyte
The pH electrode has an outer junction sleeve that can be removed and cleaned. Once cleaned a small amount of supplied gel electrolyte is added and the junction is refreshed improving the pH measurement and extending the life of the meter.
PVDF Body
Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) is a food grade plastic that is resistant to most chemicals and solvents, including sodium hypochlorite. It has high abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, and resistance to ultraviolet light. PVDF is also resistant to fungal growth.
Low Temperature (LT) Glass
The pH glass tip uses a special LT glass formulation suited for fast stabilization and accurate results at lower temperatures in order to have the ideal resistance for the measuring circuit.
Additional Features-at-a-glance
Large LCD Display
An enhanced LCD displays the measurement reading, stability indicator, low battery indicator, and calibration tags.
Automatic Calibration
These testers are calibrated automatically to one or two points. The calibration buffers are automatically recognized and after calibration the buffer values used are shown on the display.
Stability Indicator
An hourglass indicator is displayed on the LCD until a stable reading is obtained. Once a reading stabilizes, the indicator disappears and a reading can be taken.
Automatic Shut-Off Feature
These testers can be set to automatically turn off after 8 minutes or 60 minutes to conserve battery life in the event that the tester is left on. The auto-off feature can also be disabled.
Probe Diagnostic
During calibration the meter will display an error (Err) message as an indicator that the probe needs to be cleaned.
Long Battery Life
These testers have an exceptional battery life of approximately 800 hours. When the battery power is running low, the low battery indicator blinks.
