Product Overview

The TP5-C intrinsically safe thermometer has all of the best qualities of the original TP5 and incorporates the latest and most reliable technology into its electronics and probe assembly. Many customers have used the TP5 over the years and have wanted to have a more robust and powerful version. You will truly appreciate the improvements found in the TP5-C.

Includes 4 Point NIST Traceable Calibration, a 90-day warranty on probe assembly and a one year warranty on all other components.

The TP5-C employs the proven RTD sensor design that has been used in the TP7 and TP8 for many years. A sealed industrial quality overlay now provides a user interface that is easy to use with gloves. A sealed, anodized aluminum enclosure protects the circuit board and large LCD from penetration by impact, water, and reactive liquids. An auto-off feature has been added to save battery life.

The new TP5-C circuit board is an evolutionary step up from our highly accurate, reliable and successful TL1 laboratory thermometer. The Power Button's primary function powers the instrument for intervals of about 20 minutes since the last button was accessed. The Power Button can also be used to conserve power and clear the memory, or to make adjustment while in calibration mode. A simple menu operation is displayed by holding the Function Button, and alternately functions to allow adjustments in the calibration mode. Arrows on the left side of the display show the direction of the temperature reading and whether stability has been reached. At the user's discretion stabilized temperatures can be logged at up to 10 liquid levels for a running average and later displayed for the user's documenting purposes. But this feature never interferes with simply getting an accurate temperature reading.

To endure the environment and be intrinsically safe, the TP5-C is manufactured of materials, which are both immune to petrochemicals and are non-sparking. The probe assembly is constructed with a static-dissipating, non-stick cable, with stainless steel sensor components.
