Temperature Sensor

Range:

MX2301 and MX2305 internal sensors: -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F)

MX2302 external temperature sensor: -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F)

MX2303 and MX2304 external sensors: -40 to 100°C (-40 to 212°F), with tip and cable immersion in fresh water up to 50°C (122°F) for one year 

Accuracy:

±0.25°C from -40 to 0°C (±0.45 from -40 to 32°F)

±0.2°C from 0 to 70°C (±0.36 from 32 to 158°F)

±0.25°C from 70 to 100°C (±0.45 from 158 to 212°F), MX2303 and MX2304 only 

Resolution:0.04°C (0.072°F)

Drift:<0.01°C (0.018°F) per year


RH Sensor (MX2301, MX2302 only)

Range:0 to 100% RH, -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F); exposure to conditions below -20°C (-4°F) or above 95% RH may temporarily increase the maximum RH sensor error by an additional 1%

Accuracy:±2.5% from 10% to 90% (typical) to a maximum of ±3.5% including hysteresis at 25°C (77°F); below 10% RH and above 90% RH ±5% typical

Resolution:0.05%

Drift:<1% per year typical
