Probe Sensing Area

The probe sensing area determines the probe's measurement range.

Larger Sensing Area = Larger Range

probe-sensor

Sensing areas are indicated with a letter designation and are combined with the probe body style to form a probe model number such as C23-C (C23 body style and C size sensing area).

Target area diameter must be 130% of the sensing area diameter or custom calibration will be required.

Probe Operating Temperature

4°C-50°C; 40°F-120°F

Probes can be used at colder temperatures, including cryogenic temperatures, when condensation (frost) is prevented and the system is specially calibrated for the target temperature range.
