The Chicago Stainless Equipment Sani-Flow battery powered sanitary
digital 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.  The thermometer has self diagnostic circuitry.  If
default is detected or the battery charge drops below a level which
effects accuracy, the LCD display will go blank.  This thermometer
can not be adjusted.  If found out of calibration it must be
returned to the factory.
 
The Sani-Flow thermometer can be equipped with either sanitary or
projectile well connections.
