ThermoProbe TL3A Precision Thermometer - TL3A-08
The ThermoProbe TL3-A intrinsically safe thermometer is intended to be used anywhere a precision glass stem thermometer or other type thermometer may be used. The TL3-A series replaces the TL1-A series of Thermoprobe thermometers.
Please note that additional lengths are available. Please call for price and lead times.
This precision thermometer is an improved version of the original ThermoProbe model TL1. The TL1-A cordless thermometer incorporates glass thermometer simplicity and reliability with the ease of a digital display. Like precision mercury thermometers, the ThermoProbe TL1-A has accuracy, repeat-ability and long-term stability. But unlike those precision thermometers there will never be problems with mercury separation or hazardous material cleanup. Different from most electronic thermometers, the "Cordless" TL1-A has no wires to get in the way or break. Battery replacement is easily done through a sealed cover. Encoded calibration is unaffected by temperature, vibration, or battery removal. This cordless thermometer features a low battery display, and failure mode indications protect the user from false data.
4 Point NIST Traceable Calibration and a one year warranty included.
