Introduction

The ThermoCheck is a portable, handheld temperature meter and temperature measurement storage device that facilitates the validation of quality control specifications for temperatures of products at various stages of production and storage.

Product descriptions and process/location descriptions can be stored in a database within the unit. Maximum and minimum temperature specifications for each process/location of products are stored in the database. Such databases must be created and uploaded to the unit with the ThermoCheck for Windows software.

Stored temperature readings include the temperature measured, the product name, the process/location name and the date and time information for each temperature reading recorded.

Optional user identification (by unique PIN codes) is supported as a standard feature of the ThermoCheck. The information that allows the identity of each user to be unique is controlled through the ThermoCheck user software. If the tracking of unique user identification has been enabled and the relevant information has been uploaded and stored in the ThermoCheck unit, then each stored reading will also identify the name of the user that took the reading.

The user software provides the facility for the download (retrieval) and viewing of stored readings. Readings are classified based on the product specifications for each process/location as stored in the database. Downloaded data reading(s) can also be saved to disk files and/or printed to hard copy through the user software.

Additionally, the software provides the facility to save database configurations to ‘template’ files on disk. These files can be edited or uploaded to one or more units at a later date.
