Testo 104-IR BT Infrared / Penetration Thermometer (Bluetooth)

Testo 104-IR BT Overview

The Testo 104-IR BT is a two-in-one thermometer engineered for the food industry. An infrared laser sensor measures surface temperatures at a distance — ideal for quick receiving inspections — while a robust folding penetration probe measures internal core temperatures during cooking and storage. It is IP65 waterproof and rugged enough to be cleaned under running water, folds compactly for pocket storage, and connects via Bluetooth to the free testo Smart App for direct data logging and reporting.

Who the Testo 104-IR BT is for

The Testo 104-IR BT is for chefs, food-safety officers, receiving clerks and inspectors who scan many products by infrared and only push a probe in when a surface reading is close to a limit. That two-step routine, with readings sent straight to the testo Smart App, takes hand-written temperature logs out of HACCP checks.

What Testo’s datasheet (1981 246X, 06.2024) adds for buyers:

• Readings work with or without the app, and the app’s measurement program guides staff through CP/CCP checks
• The penetration probe folds into the housing and its measurement starts automatically when it is opened
• Infrared optics of 10:1 plus a 12 mm sensor opening, 8 to 14 µm spectral range, and a 2-point laser marking the spot
• Probe response t99 of 10 s in moving liquid; both sensors update every 0.5 s
• Conformity to EN 13485, HACCP International and NSF; IP65 housing, 207 g with batteries

More models sit in our infrared thermometers category and on the Testo brand page. If app records are not needed, the Testo 104-IR offers the same infrared-plus-probe idea without Bluetooth. For probe-only checks there is the Testo 106, and frying-oil quality is measured with the Testo 270 BT. Full specifications are in the official testo 104-IR BT data sheetPDF.

Testo 104-IR BT FAQ

Common questions about the Testo 104-IR BT:

• Do I need a phone to use the 104-IR BT? No. It measures and shows results on its own display; the app adds documentation and reports.
• How accurate is the infrared side? ±1.5 °C or ±1.5% of reading from 0 to +250 °C, widening to ±2.0 °C from -20 to -0.1 °C and ±2.5 °C below -20 °C.
• Can it be rinsed after use? It is rated IP65, which means protection against dust and water jets.
• Which app does it use? The free testo Smart App for Android and iOS, which exports CSV files and PDF reports.
