Bolt-On RTD Probes for Surfaces
For reliable temperature readings in high-vibration environments, these RTD probes bolt onto the surface of motors and other equipment.
Style A and B probes are rated IP67 for protection from dust and temporary submersion.
Probes that meet DIN EN 60751 adhere to industry standards for accuracy. Probes that meet MS202 (Method 204, Test Condition D) have been tested for use in vibration-heavy environments.

Signal-Averaging Adhesive-Back RTD Probes for Surfaces
 Style B Shown Mounted |  A |

Measure the temperature of cylinders, pipes, and flat surfaces without installing an immersion probe and where a point sensor may be inaccurate. These RTD probes take multiple temperatures along the length of the probe and average them together for accuracy. About the thickness of a dime, they stick to surfaces in tight spaces.
Probes with a braided stainless steel armored cable protect their wiring from wear and corrosion better than probes with a silicone rubber cable.
Probes that meet DIN EN 60751 adhere to industry standards for accuracy.

Extended-Life Data-Logging Thermometers
For more accurate and consistent readings than thermometers with thermocouple probes and a longer service life, this thermometer has a resistance temperature detector (RTD) probe. It logs up to 2,000 time- and date-stamped readings and uploads data to a PC through the USB port.
To conserve battery life, use the optional power adapter (sold separately).
