Miljoco CD104684-60BL Digital Thermometer, Solar Powered Display, Plain Surface Mount, -50 to 70 Degrees C, -58 to 158 Degrees F, Accuracy of + or - 1 Degree C

The Miljoco CD104684-60BL surface mounting digital thermometer with solar-powered display monitors temperature in applications involving equipment such as refrigerators and freezers. It measures temperature from -50 to 70 degrees C (-58 to 158 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or - 1 degree C (2 degrees F). The glass-passivated thermistor sensor provides higher accuracy than a thermocouple sensor. The LCD screen is powered by solar energy in light levels greater than 50 lux and switches to battery power when light levels drop below 50 lux. The operator can choose to display readings in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The sensor is made from nickel-plated brass and measures 0.225" in diameter, and it has a 60" flexible black polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-covered lead for accessing hard-to-reach areas. The thermometer body is made from black polycarbonate, which resists wear.

*H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Digital thermometers are instruments used to measure the temperature of air, liquids, or surfaces electronically. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Most digital thermometers use thermistors, which are small electronic resistors. Thermistors are made out of metals that conduct electricity within a certain range and become more conductive the warmer they get. A microcontroller inside the thermometer measures this electrical conductivity and converts it to a temperature, which is displayed on an LCD. Digital thermometers are used in a wide range of applications, including in laboratory settings, food service and storage, and in doctors' offices and hospitals.

Miljoco manufactures test and calibration equipment such as thermometers and pressure gauges for food service and manufacturing applications. The company, founded in 1979, is headquartered in Mount Clemens, MI.
