WiFi External Temp-Sensor Logger

The EL-WIFI-TP data logger comes with an external temperature sensor allowing it to measure the temperature of environments that are not suitable for the logger itself, such as a fridge or freezer. Data is transmitted wirelessly via a WiFi network to a PC and viewed using a free software package. During configuration the sensor will search for an existing wireless network whilst physically connected to the PC. It can then be placed anywhere within range of the network. If the sensor temporarily loses connectivity with the network, it will log readings until it is able to communicate again with the PC application (max 60 days at 10 second sample interval). The range of the instrument can be increased by using WiFi extenders.

This EL-WiFi-TP is a low powered battery device. When configured using typical sampling periods (e.g. once every 60 seconds) the sensor will operate for over one year. The battery can then be recharged via a PC or USB +5V wall adapter using the USB lead provided.

The battery is safely charged when the unit is operating between 0 to +40°C (+32 to +104°F). It is protected against charging outside this temperature range. Sensor readings may be inaccurate during battery charging.

The software installed on the PC will allow set-up, data logging and data review. Set-up features will include sensor name, °C/°F, sample rate, and high/low alarms. Once configured, historic data can be viewed via the graphing tool or exported into Excel. This software is available for free from our Support page (link to support/downloads page).

This data logger stands alone by itself on a vertical surface and comes with a wall bracket that can be screwed onto a wall or flat surface. The data logger clips into the bracket.

Requires 802.11b compliant WiFi router/network. Compatible with Enterprise Networks from September 2013
