Air Temperature
ECT
An easy-to-use research-grade air temperature sensor.
- Easy-to-use air temperature sensor
- Weatherproof for long-term use
- Remote data in real time
Measure air temperature
The simple ECT Air Temperature Sensor is an easy-to-use research-grade sensor for measuring the temperature of air (when used with the radiation shield), or other materials. (For all-in-one weather monitoring, see the ATMOS 41 weather station).
Weatherproof for long-term use
The sensor is completely waterproof, submersible, and designed for continuous outdoor use.
Plug and play technology
The ECT can be used with either the ZL6 data logger series, as well as the EM50 and EM60 series data loggers. However, typical ZL6 and EM50/EM60 series logger users prefer to measure humidity in conjunction with their air temperature measurements using the ATMOS 14 Vapor Pressure, Temperature, Barometric Pressure, and Relative Humidity sensor, instead of the ECT Temperature Sensor.
