Let’s take a look at a list of specifications to consider when choosing hardware:

  • Never needs Calibration
  • Measurement range Celsius:-55°C to +75°C.
  • Measurement resolution Celsius: 1°C increments.
  • Measurement accuracy Celsius: ±0.5°C accuracy from -10°C to +75°C.
  • Measurement range Fahrenheit: -67°F to +167°F.
  • Measurement resolution Fahrenheit: 1°F increments.
  • Measurement accuracy Fahrenheit: ±0.9°F accuracy from +14°F to +167°F.
  • Communications cable: UTP CAT 5 wire.
  • Sensor type: semiconductor microprocessor controlled.
  • Power source: powered by the sensorProbe. No additional power needed.
  • Power Consumption: Typical 10.70 mWatt, 2.14mA
  • sensorProbe auto detects the presence of the temperature sensor.
  • Measurement rate: one reading every second.
  • Up to 2 temperature sensors per sensorProbe2, 8 per sensorProbe8 and cameraProbe8.
  • Full autosense including disconnect alarm.
  • SNMP OID so that data can be collected over the network, using a tool like Denika.
  • Water resistant.

Loaded with the above, the sensor can monitor everything from freezers to swimming pool temperatures.
