The testo 104-IR is a versatile food thermometer that combines non-contact infrared surface temperature measurements with a fold-out penetration probe for core temperature readings. Its robust, waterproof design and compliance with HACCP standards make it ideal for quick and accurate temperature checks in the food industry.
  • Dual Measurement Functionality – Combines infrared surface measurements with a fold-out penetration probe for core temperatures.
  • Precise Infrared Measurements – Measures surface temperatures from -30 to +250 °C with a 2-point laser and 10:1 optics.
  • Accurate Penetration Probe – Measures core temperatures from -50 to +250 °C with high precision.
  • Robust and Waterproof – Features an IP65-rated waterproof housing suitable for rigorous use.
  • HACCP Compliant – Meets international food safety standards for professional use.
The testo 104-IR thermometer offers a dual approach to temperature measurement, integrating infrared technology for surface readings and a penetration probe for core temperatures. The infrared sensor, equipped with a 2-point laser and 10:1 optics, allows for precise non-contact measurements ranging from -30 to +250 °C. This feature is particularly useful for quickly scanning incoming goods or items on display without direct contact.

For internal temperature assessments, the fold-out stainless steel probe provides accurate readings between -50 and +250 °C. This versatility ensures compliance with food safety regulations and helps maintain quality control throughout the supply chain.
Designed with durability in mind, the testo 104-IR boasts an IP65-rated waterproof housing, making it suitable for use in various environments, including kitchens and storage facilities where hygiene is paramount. Its folding design enhances portability, allowing it to fit conveniently into pockets for easy access during inspections.

The thermometer's compliance with HACCP and EN 13485 standards underscores its suitability for professional food safety applications. Whether you're monitoring food temperatures during transport, storage, or preparation, the testo 104-IR provides a reliable and efficient solution for ensuring food safety and quality.

Temperature checking for incoming goods and during transport and storage

The temperature of foods has a crucial influence on the formation and proliferation of germs and therefore on product quality and consumer health. In order to ensure food safety, there is therefore an obligation to monitor the temperatures of foods and to check that cooling chain compliance is uninterrupted. Among the measures used to achieve this is checking temperature on receipt and during transport and storage of the goods. The testo 104-IR infrared and penetration thermometer helps you to do this. It offers:

  • Fast scanning of the goods delivered using infrared measuring technology
  • Immediate checking where values are critical via fold-out penetration probe
  • Simple display of the measuring range via 2-point laser
  • Robustness thanks to a waterproof housing
  • HACCP-compliant measurement
