TAYLOR
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TAYLOR from 3G Electric.
What accuracy can I expect from Taylor analog oven thermometers?
Taylor analog oven thermometers are available with accuracy ratings of ±5°F or ±10°F, depending on the model. For example, the MPN 3506 offers ±5°F accuracy, while the MPN 5921N provides ±10°F. These ratings apply across the specified temperature range, which for some models is 130° to 180°F. The accuracy is stated for the analog display, and models with glass lenses and stainless steel cases are designed to withstand oven environments. When selecting a thermometer, consider the required precision for your application and the temperature range you need to monitor.
Are Taylor food service thermometers NSF certified?
Several Taylor food service thermometers are NSF certified, including the MPN 5980N, MPN 3506, and MPN 6021. NSF certification indicates the product meets public health standards for food equipment. However, not all models carry this certification; for instance, the MPN 1470 digital thermometer is not NSF certified. It is important to check the individual product specifications for NSF status if certification is required for your application. 3G Electric lists NSF certification status in the product details for each SKU.
What is the purpose of metal-detectable Taylor thermometers?
Metal-detectable Taylor thermometers are designed to be detectable by metal detection systems used in food processing and commercial kitchens. This feature helps prevent contamination if a thermometer is accidentally left in food or lost during production. Models such as the MPN 3506, MPN 350610D, and MPN 1470 incorporate metal-detectable materials in their construction. These thermometers are suitable for facilities that use metal detection as part of their food safety protocols. The metal-detectable design does not affect the temperature measurement accuracy or functionality.
What are the specifications of Taylor wireless desk and wall mount meters?
Taylor wireless desk and wall mount meters, such as the MPN 1736 and MPN 1731, feature digital displays with primary and secondary scales. The MPN 1736 shows outdoor humidity and outdoor temperature on the primary scale, while the secondary scale displays date, day, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and time. The MPN 1731 shows indoor humidity and indoor temperature on the primary scale, with the secondary scale showing date, day, outdoor humidity, outdoor temperature, and time. Both models measure humidity from 20% to 95% and include wireless sensors for remote monitoring. They are designed for desk or wall mounting.
Can Taylor grill thermometers be attached to metal surfaces?
Yes, some Taylor grill thermometers feature a magnet for attachment to metal surfaces. The MPN 6021 is an analog grill thermometer with a 2-inch dial and a stainless steel case that includes a magnet. This allows the thermometer to be mounted directly on grills or other metal equipment for convenient temperature monitoring. The magnet attachment provides a secure hold during use. Other models may include hangers or different mounting options, so refer to the specific product specifications for mounting features.
What is the temperature range of Taylor holding line thermometers?
The Taylor holding line thermometer, such as the MPN 5980N, is designed for monitoring holding temperatures in food service. It has an accuracy of ±5°F from 130° to 180°F, which covers the typical holding temperature range for hot foods. The thermometer features a 2 3/4 inch diameter dial with a stainless steel case and glass lens. It is NSF certified and metal detectable. This model is suitable for use in holding cabinets, steam tables, and other hot holding equipment where maintaining safe temperatures is critical.
