Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CDN from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy of CDN ovenproof meat thermometers?
CDN ovenproof meat thermometers are available with different accuracy specifications. For example, the IRM200-GLOW model offers accuracy of ±2 °F or ±1 °C, while the IRM190 model provides accuracy of ±0.3 °F or ±0.2 °C. Both are analog thermometers with stainless steel cases and glass lenses. The IRM200-GLOW has a 2-inch dial and 5 3/8-inch overall length, and the IRM190 has a 5 1/2-inch overall length. Both are NSF certified. These thermometers are used for monitoring internal temperatures of meat and poultry roasts. When selecting a model, consider the required accuracy for your application and the dial size for readability.
Are CDN candy and frying thermometers suitable for chocolate tempering?
Yes, certain CDN candy and frying thermometers are designed for chocolate tempering. The TCH130 model features a non-mercuric column display in a 12-inch laboratory glass case with a glass lens. It is waterproof, making it suitable for chocolate tempering, candy making, and frying applications. Other models in the CDN candy and frying thermometer line include the TCG400 with a stainless steel housing and case, the IRXL400 with an analog display and stainless steel case, and the DTC450 with a multiline LCD display and metal-detectable ABS plastic case. Each model has specific accuracy and length specifications. Choose based on your temperature range, required accuracy, and whether a digital or analog display is preferred.
What are the specifications of the CDN shipping scale with remote indicator?
The CDN shipping scale with remote indicator, model SDR220, has a 220 lb capacity and a 12-inch weighing surface depth. It provides readability of 0.2 oz or 5 g and can measure in kg, lb, or oz. The scale is constructed from ABS plastic. The remote indicator allows the display to be placed separately from the weighing platform, which can be useful when the platform is in a location that is difficult to read directly. This scale is used for shipping and receiving applications where accurate weight measurement is required. For specific dimensions and power requirements, refer to the product datasheet or contact 3G Electric for assistance.
Which CDN thermometers are NSF certified?
Several CDN thermometers are NSF certified, including the IRM200-GLOW and IRM190 ovenproof meat thermometers, and the IRXL400 candy and deep fry thermometer. NSF certification indicates that the product meets public health standards for food equipment. When selecting a thermometer for food safety applications, verify that the specific model carries NSF certification. The certification is typically marked on the product or packaging. 3G Electric can provide documentation for CDN products upon request. Other CDN thermometers may also be NSF certified; check individual product specifications for confirmation.
What is the difference between CDN analog and digital thermometers?
CDN analog thermometers use a dial or column display with a mechanical movement, while digital models use an electronic sensor and LCD display. Analog models, such as the IRM200-GLOW and RFT1, feature stainless steel cases and glass lenses, and do not require batteries. Digital models, such as the DTC450, offer features like multiline LCD displays and may include metal-detectable cases. Accuracy varies by model: analog thermometers may have accuracy of ±2 °F, while digital models can have accuracy of ±1.5 °F. The choice depends on the application, required accuracy, and preference for battery-free operation. Both types are used in food safety and quality control.
Can CDN refrigerator and freezer thermometers be used in commercial kitchens?
Yes, CDN refrigerator and freezer thermometers, such as the RFT1 model, are designed for monitoring temperatures in refrigerators and freezers. The RFT1 is an analog thermometer with a 2-inch dial and 4-inch overall length, featuring a stainless steel case and glass lens. It offers accuracy of ±2 °F or ±1 °C and includes a temperature guide on the dial. This thermometer is suitable for commercial kitchens, laboratories, and other environments where temperature monitoring is required for food safety or material storage. It does not require batteries and can be mounted or placed inside the appliance. For specific temperature ranges, refer to the product specifications.
