The Anderson Digi-Therm self powered digital indicating thermometer
has been reviewed and found to comply with the applicable
provisions of the Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) for use
in milk storage tanks and refrigerated rooms.  This battery
operated thermometer may be used in storage tank and room
applications where mercury-in-glass or bi-metal thermometers have
traditionally been used.
 
This thermometer has been found to meet the applicable Appendix H
criteria. It has a low battery indicator.  Before accuracy is at
risk, the LCD temperature display will blank.
 
Temperature can be adjusted to q 1.0 oF.  If this adjustment is not
sufficient the thermometer should be replaced.
 
The Digi-Therm is available for thermowell or sanitary
installation.
