Features & Options
l
Slows/Buffers Temperature Changes in Coolers & Freezers
(Caused by Opening and Closing of Cooler/Freezer Door)
l
Fluid-Filled Chamber to Mimic Core Temperatures
l
Easy Wall Mount or Wire Shelf Hanger
l
Decreases False High Limit Alarms
l
Available in Stainless Steel or Aluminum
The BAPI Thermobuffer Temperature Sensor is used to
simulate more closely the refrigerator contents rather than
the refrigerator air temperature. The uid-lled chamber
allows for slower reaction to abrupt temperature changes,
yet still maintains long-term accuracy if the change remains
permanent. It eliminates the temperature spikes due to
frequent refrigerator or freezer door opening and decreases
false alarms.
The Thermobuffer comes in three buffer sizes 1”, 2” and 4”
and is designed to save valuable shelf space by mounting to
the wall or by hanger in a refrigerator or freezer. The buffer
chamber is machined in 304 Stainless Steel or aluminum and
accommodates a variety of temperature sensors or transmitters
to interface with all BAS systems.
Blü-Test
Commissioning just got easier with BAPI’s Bluetooth
temp and humidity probe. No need to carry an extra
meter because the Blü-Test communicates to your
Bluetooth-enabled Smart Phone or Tablet.
For more info, see the Accessories section.
*All Passive Thermistors 20KΩ and smaller are CE compliant.
