The Testo 174HKIT (0572 056) Mini Temperature and Humidity Data Logger Kit features a large display and alarm indication that makes it capable of monitoring air temperature and relative humidity levels at all times. This temperature and RH measurement logger is long lasting for continuous use and is highly accurate. The 174H-KIT has clear indications of when humidity and temperature thresholds have been exceeded. Fee software available is available as a download for easy analysis.

The Mini Temperature and Humidity Data Logger Kit includes a USB interface for data transfer as well as for programming the logger. One USB interface can be used for multiple instruments.

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 174H 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 174H, 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.
