Technical Specification

Measurement probe

Probe length: 165mm (approx.) to sensing element

Temperature
Resolution: 0.01°C

Accuracy: ±0.3°C (measured at 25°C)

Repeatability: ±0.1°C

Operating temperature range: -40°C to +125°C

Important:

although the temperature probe can measure -40°C to +125°C, the ribbon cable attached to the sensor is only

specified over the range -40°C to +105°C

Humidity
Resolution: 0.01%RH

Accuracy: ±3.0%RH (20 to 80%RH)

Repeatability: ±0.2%RH

Linearity: <2.0%RH

Operating range: 0 to 100%RH (non-condensing)

Important:

Non-condensing means that the measurement probe is not designed to be and must not be dipped in fluid.

Doing so is likely to cause permanent damage and will invalidate the products warranty.

Other characteristics

Power Supply voltage: 6-14V

Power supply current: 115mA max

Operating temperature range: 0- 45°C

Dimensions: 93mm long x 67mm wide x 28mm high
