Anderson Instruments FD110 Digital Reference Thermometer DART

The Anderson Instruments FD110 Digital Reference Thermometer DART is a robust, multi-channel digital thermometer designed for precise temperature measurement and calibration in industrial environments, particularly in sanitary processes such as food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries. This device features a durable enclosure with a red LED display window for easy reading of temperature data across up to four channels, making it ideal for reference calibration of RTD sensors and thermometers. Key benefits include high accuracy, reliability in harsh conditions, and ease of use for on-site calibrations, reducing downtime and ensuring compliance with sanitary standards like 3-A. Compared to similar products from competitors like Endress+Hauser or Rosemount, the FD110 offers superior sanitary design and integration with Anderson's sensor ecosystem, though it may lack modern digital interfaces found in newer models. Drawbacks include its older analog-style display and AC power dependency, which might limit portability without adapters. Applications include process monitoring, quality control, and validation in CIP systems. The unit supports RTD inputs for accurate readings, with a focus on stability and repeatability. Overall, it's a cost-effective choice for legacy systems requiring dependable temperature referencing.
