(0°C - 60°C / 32°F - 140°F)
-40°C - 60°C (-40°F - 140°F)
0 - 100%
(prolonged exposure to > 80% RH may create an offset of up to +3% in the readings. This effect gradually reverses after return to < 80% RH conditions)
±0.3°C / ±0.5°F typical 0.5°C / ±0.9°F maximum
Data is collected at one minute intervals and is stored on the sensor for over two weeks. It is automatically pushed to mobile applications when they are in range. There it is stored for graphing and analysis. The apps allow alert ranges to be set, so you can know when there's a problem without constant checking.
Sample Investigation
Students can use the probe to monitor a longitudinal study of plant growth in a terrarium. The temperature probe can be used to regulate temperature. The humidity probe can be used to measure transpiration rates of the plants. Provide a sample investigation that you conducted using the data collected by the probe/app. Include independent variable, dependent variables, constants and controls.
