Overview

Temperature Sensor (-40 to +70C)

The 109SS is a rugged, accurate probe that measures soil or water temperature from -40° to +70°C. The 109SS consists of a thermistor encased in a sheath made from grade 316L stainless steel. The rugged stainless-steel sheath protects the thermistor, allowing you to bury or submerge the 109SS in harsh, corrosive environments. This probe also has a fast time response, and it can be easily interfaced with our data loggers.

Key Advantages

Rugged, Accurate, Versatile
Can be used in a variety of applications

Technical Description

The 109SS thermistor can survive temperatures up to 100°C, but the overmolded joint and cable should not be exposed to temperatures hotter than +70°C.

Water Temperature

The sensor can be submerged to 46 m (150 ft) or 63 psi. Please note that the 109SS is not weighted. Therefore, the installer should either add a weighting system or secure the sensor to a fixed, submerged object, such as a piling.

Soil Temperature

The 109SS is suitable for shallow burial only. Placement of the sensor’s cable inside a rugged conduit may be advisable for long cable runs—especially in locations subject to digging, mowing, traffic, use of power tools, or lightning strikes.

Benefits

Designed for harsh, corrosive environments
Fast response time
Wide temperature measurement range
Easy to install or remove
Compatible with most of our current and retired data loggers

Specifications

Output: Analog
Operating Temperature Range: -40° to +70°C
Accuracy: Note: Overall probe accuracy is a combination of thermistor interchangeability, bridge-resistor accuracy, and error of the Steinhart-Hart equation. Interchangeability is the principle component error. If needed, an estimate of the interchangeability error for 0 to 50°C, that can be used as the Offset parameter of the Therm109() instruction, can be determined with a 1-point or 2-point calibration.
