The BetaProbe™ TI
High Precision Digital Thermometer
A single BetaProbe TI high precision digital thermometer can
replace many liquid-in-glass (l-i-g) thermometers. It can also
serve as a reference standard for other types of digital or analog
temperature indicators. Plus, intrinsically safe certification
means it can be used virtually anywhere.
The integral 3/16" (5 mm) diameter probe houses a quick
response thin film sensor for quickly acquiring highly accurate
readings using minimal insertion depth. The integral probe also
rotates through 90° for any angle reading of the display.
Speaking of displays, a unique feature of the BetaProbe TI is the user configurable trend indicator. With this
feature, the user knows at a glance if the reading is stable or trending higher or lower. The display also incor-
porates a high intensity blue backlight for easy reading in any lighting condition from full sun to pitch dark.
With the use of optional BetaLOG™ TI software, the BetaProbe TI becomes a high performance, easy to use
temperature data logger. It allows the user to create a full suite of logging options, download them to the
BetaProbe TI, then retrieve, format, display and save the data using Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet files. The
BetaProbe’s RS-232 serial port can also be used for configuration and recalibration support via Windows™
HyperTerminal.
The BetaProbe TI includes many other features including Min/Max storage and recall; selectable
sample rate; battery saving auto shutoff and damping. Battery life of 250+ hours of continuous use means the
three AAA alkaline batteries will seldom need changing.
