This highly accurate dual channels instrument is designed for monitoring two separate and independent temperatures, ideal for use with temperature-critical materials. The thermometer has a weather resistant housing for indoor or outdoor use. Suitable for a variety of industrial and institutional applications, including manufacturing, food service (food storage), home and office. The thermometer displays temperature from each sensor probe in °C or °F, times (24 hour format only), and the status of each alarm event records. Each probe may be programmed with high and low limit alarms. The thermometer will capture in memory up to 60 alarm breeches per probe including time and duration of each breech. Alarm breeches will be retained in memory even if the battery dies. All operational fuctions can be password protected. The unit does not have an ON/OFF power button and is continually active once the batteries have been installed but unit does have an LCD idle function to preserve battery life.
