The Amprobe THWD-10W wireless relative humidity (RH) and temperature meter simultaneously measures relative humidity, dew point, and wet- and dry-bulb temperature using two temperature sensors (K-type thermocouple and thermistor) that provide a range of dual-scale temperature readings, and is used for HVAC, indoor air quality, and environmental applications. The K-type thermocouple sensor measures temperatures from -50 to 1832 degrees F (-50 to 1000 degrees C), and has a resolution of 0.2 degrees F (0.1 degrees C). The thermistor temperature sensor has a temperature range from 32 to 140 degrees F (0 to 60 degrees C), and has a resolution of 0.1 degrees F and C.
The meter has minimum, maximum, average, and hold functions for recording data, and relative zero functionality stores reference points. The meter has two-way wireless transmission to a personal computer up to 25 meters away without magnetic interference. Transmission requires a wireless USB antenna and software (included). The software supports Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, and Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit). The meter requires four AAA batteries (included), and includes a k-type thermocouple, a wireless USB antenna, a CD-ROM, a shite box, and instructions.
