The Winters TSD series industrial 9IT digital thermometer with solar-powered display and 3-1/2" probe is for monitoring temperature in industrial applications such as plumbing and facility maintenance. It measures temperature from -45 to 260 degrees C (-50 to 320 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or - 1% of the reading. The LCD screen is powered by solar energy in light levels greater than 16 lux and switches to battery power when light levels drop below 16 lux. The operator can choose to display readings in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The stem-style probe is 3-1/2" long. It has a removable brass thermowell with a 3/4" NPT connection that helps protect the sensor from damage due to impacts and abrasion. Without the thermowell, it has a 1-1/4" UNEG swivel nut connection. The angle of the stem can be adjusted. The display body is made from ABS plastic, which resists impact and wear.
*H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right
Digital thermometers are instruments used to measure the temperature of air, liquids, or surfaces electronically. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Most digital thermometers use thermistors, which are small electronic resistors. Thermistors are made out of metals that conduct electricity within a certain range and become more conductive the warmer they get. A microcontroller inside the thermometer measures this electrical conductivity and converts it to a temperature, which is displayed on an LCD. Digital thermometers are used in a wide range of applications, including in laboratory settings, food service and storage, and in doctors offices and hospitals.
Winters Instruments manufactures pressure gauges, thermometers, diaphragm seals, pressure transmitters, and switches. The company, founded in 1953, is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.
