The Miljoco CDX93585 digital thermometer with solar-powered display is for monitoring temperature in industrial applications such as plumbing and facility maintenance. It measures temperature from -50 to 150 degrees C (-58 to 302 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or - 1 degree C or F, or 1% of the reading, whichever is greater. The glass-passivated thermistor sensor provides higher accuracy than a thermocouple sensor. The LCD screen is powered by solar energy in light levels greater than 35 lux and switches to battery power when light levels drop below 35 lux. Bi-directional solar collectors allow the thermometer to draw power from multiple light sources. The operator can choose to display readings in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The stem-style probe is 3.5" long and is made from aluminum for conductivity. It has a 1.25"-18 UNF brass coupling nut that allows the angle of the stem to be adjusted. The display body is made from ABS plastic, which resists impact and wear.

Specifications

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.

Miljoco manufactures test and calibration equipment such as thermometers and pressure gauges for food service and manufacturing applications. The company, founded in 1979, is headquartered in Mount Clemens, MI.
