Product Overview
The HiTemp140-PT is a submersible, temperature data
logger that can operate from -40 °C (-40 °F) up to +140 °C
(+284 °F) and has an accuracy of +/-0.1 °C (0.18 °F). The
device features a 12 or 24 inch bendable stainless steel
probe for measuring extended temperatures up to 350 °C
(662 °F). The probe is durable and can be spiraled, bent or
angled in any direction, making it easy to log temperatures
within bottles, vials or other hard to reach places.

The HiTemp140-PT is fully submersible and is rated IP68. It
can be placed in environments with up to 230 feet (70 m)
of water.

seal and prevent liquid from entering the inside of the
device. Please refer to the application note O-Rings 101:
Protecting Your Data, found at madgetech.com, for
information on how to prevent O-ring failure.
