  • Backed by a 12-month warranty and pre-delivery testing to guarantee performance and compliance.
FAQs:
  • What standards does this surface temperature measuring probe comply with?
    The probe is designed according to the requirements of IEC60335-2-11 figure 101 and IEC60335-2-6, ensuring it meets international safety standards for testing surface temperatures on household appliances like tumble dryers and cookers.
  • How is the 4N force applied during the temperature test?
    The probe handle includes a built-in 4N thruster. During testing, the top of the probe is pressed against the appliance surface, and this thruster applies the standard-required 4N force until the temperature stabilizes for an accurate reading.
  • What are the key components of the test finger probe?
    Key components include a Φ5mm x 0.5mm copper sheet for contact, a Φ0.3mm K-type OMEGA thermocouple for measurement, a polycarbonate insulated pipe (3mm inner, 5mm outer diameter), and a handle with the 4N force applicator.
  • When should the surface temperature test be performed on an appliance?
    The test should be conducted after the test corner test is completed and once the appliance has been powered for 60 minutes or has reached a steady operating state, as per standard procedures.
