INTRODUCTION

The Sper Scientific WBGT SD Card
Datalogger (Model 800037) is an
intelligent meter that reads wet bulb globe
temperature, wet bulb temperature, dew
point temperature, humidity and air
temperature, and black globe temperature.

You can use the meter almost anywhere to
determine appropriate exposure levels and
meet OSHA or other safety standards for
high temperatures to avoid heat
exhaustion and heat-related injuries during
athletic events, military exercises, and
industrial activities.

This meter features a real time SD
memory card datalogger. Standard,
portable SD memory cards provide
unlimited data storage and upload
pre-formatted data directly to Excel,
eliminating the need for cables or
software. Alternatively, manually record
99 readings for on-screen review or
stream data directly to a computer using
the optional software and cables. Each
data set includes the temperature
measurement (wet bulb globe
temperature, wet bulb temperature, dew
point temperature, humidity and air
temperature or black globe temperature)
and the time and date.
