INTRODUCTION
The
255-212D Min/Max Thermometer
features a digital display and extended probe suitable for
reading water temperature in an evaporation pan (NovaLynx 255-200). The unique base on which the
probe is mounted can be configured to float on the surface or rest on the bottom of the evaporation
pan.
Floating Configuration
Two floats are installed on the base to keep the thermometer probe approximately ¼" below the
surface of the water. A solar radiation shield shades the tip of the probe from direct sunlight. Anchor
lines attached to the rim of the evaporation pan keep the float near the center of the evaporation pan.
The display is waterproof and can be mounted in a convenient location outside of the pan.
Submerged Configuration
The floats are removed and the probe placed in the evaporation pan on the south side (Northern
Hemisphere) of the pan so that the thermometer is shaded. A non-magnetic wire handle is fastened to
the base and hooked over the rim of the evaporation pan to keep the probe from moving.
