Glycol filled probes are designed to provide a buffered response to changes in the temperature. This helps to simulate the thermal lag experienced by products stored in the monitored environment.
For use with the WiFi-TP+, this product meets the characteristics recommended by international standards for vaccine thermometers including:
1. Continuous monitoring information with an active display.
2. Digital thermometer with a probe in a glycol-filled bottle.
3. Alarm for out- of- range temperatures.
4. Reset button if using a data logger with a min/max display.
5. Current temperature display as well as minimum and maximum temperatures.
6. Be within +/-.5°C accuracy (+/-1°F).
7. Low battery indicator.
8. Main device to remain outside the storage unit so temperature reading can be taken without opening the unit door.
