Description Features Specifications Application

The simple ECT air temperature sensor is an easy-to-use sensor for measuring the temperature of air (when used with the radiation shield) or other materials.

Measure Air Temperature
The basic ECT air temperature sensor is a simple sensor for analysing the temperature of air (when used with the radiation shield), or other materials.

Weatherproof for Long-Term Use
The sensor is completely water tight, submersible, and designed for sustained outdoor use.

Plug and Play Technology
The ECT can be used with either the Em5b logger or the Em50 logger series. However, typical Em50 series logger users prefer to record humidity in conjunction with their air temperature measurements with the VP-3 Humidity, Temperature, and Vapor Pressure sensor, as opposed to ECT Temperature Sensor.
