Accurate Surface Temperature Measurement
The ST-2 sensor delivers precise contact temperature readings for diverse materials, from concrete and asphalt to water and metal surfaces. Its high-thermal-conductivity probe ensures minimal measurement lag, providing real-time data for critical applications.
Rugged and Weatherproof Design
Built with marine-grade stainless steel and an IP68-rated enclosure, the ST-2 withstands extreme conditions, including heavy rain, UV exposure, and corrosive environments. The probe’s reinforced cable entry prevents moisture ingress, ensuring long-term reliability.
Versatile Integration
Compatible with most data acquisition systems, the ST-2 supports analog (4-20mA, 0-5V) and digital (Modbus RTU) outputs. Its low-power design (3.5mA @ 12V) makes it suitable for solar-powered remote monitoring stations.
