TidbiT v2 Water Temperature Data Logger – UTBI-001

Overview

Only 3×4 cm, this tiny data logger measures temperatures over a wide temperature range. The TidbiT v2 provides 12-bit resolution and has ±0.2 °C accuracy. It is designed for outdoor and underwater environments and is waterproof to 300 m (1000 ft). An optical USB interface allows users to offload data in seconds. Please note, a solar radiation shield is required to obtain accurate air temperature measurements in sunlight (RS1 Solar Radiation Shield, assembly required; or M-RSA pre-assembled Solar Radiation Shield).

Highlighted Features

• Onset’s smallest temperature data logger
• Waterproof to 300 meters (1,000 feet)
• Data readout in less than 30 seconds via fast Optic USB interface

* To guarantee accuracy, the TidbiT v2 Temp must not be used in condensing environments and water temperatures higher than 30C (86F) for more
than eight cumulative weeks over the life of the logger. Frequent or prolonged exposure will lead to measurement drift and eventual failure.
