The use of automated temperature alarm systems offers an inexpensive solution to the problem of undetected loss of refrigeration. These systems use temperature sensors to provide instantaneous warning whenever space conditions stray from ideal.
In addition to generating temperature alarms, state-of-the-art temperature monitoring provides a continuous record of space temperatures.
Many of these systems are capable of reading and recording space temperatures hour-by-hour and saving the temperature data on a computer disk. In addition to being a valuable troubleshooting tool, the stored temperature data can help avoid product liability disputes by providing proof that proper storage temperatures were maintained.
It is important that facilities using automated temperature alarms do not become complacent or over-confident that equipment problems will always trigger an alarm.
These systems, like all other electrical or mechanical systems, can and do fail. Regular manual (backup) temperature readings combined with routine maintenance and testing serves as a second line of defense against potential equipment problems.
Considering the relatively low cost of purchasing and installing temperature alarms, combined with the reduced likelihood of having a spoilage loss, the use of temperature alarms makes good business sense.
