Electronic Temperature Instruments, manufacturer of the Thermapen, has launched another innovative product that can be read from any angle, in either hand - making temperature readings that much easier.
The Temptest 1 features a Patented automatic 360° display, which rotates in 90° increments, enabling the user to read the temperature in any position i.e. left hand, right hand, vertical or horizontal. This feature can also be 'locked' by the user, if required.
Additionally, the Temptest thermometer features an intelligent backlit LCD display, which illuminates the display when ambient light levels are low, making the thermometer reading easier to read whatever the time of day.
The new Temptest 1 smart thermometer incorporates a large, easy-to-read digital display, with a precise readout of temperature over the range of -49.9 to 299.9 °C with a 0.1 °C/°F resolution and an accuracy of ±0.4 °C (-49.9 to 200 °C).
The thermometer will power off automatically after 10 minutes, maximising battery life. This feature can also be disabled.
The thermometer is housed in a waterproof IP67 case with an ergonomic rubber seal, both include the Biomaster additive to reduce bacterial growth. As well as being waterproof, it is one of the fastest-reading contact thermometers on the market today. The true temperature of a product can be measured in just three seconds.
Both low battery (icon) and open circuit indication are displayed, when applicable. Each TempTest 1 is powered by two AAA batteries with a minimum life expectancy of 5,000 hours in normal use without the backlight.
Each thermometer is supplied with a permanently-attached, pointed stainless steel food penetration probe (Ø3.3 x 80 mm) with fast response tip, which measures the true temperature in under three seconds, which is typically 50% faster than traditional thermometers.
