NIST2 Temperature & Humidity Sensor with Calibration Check: THS01 1ft Fixed

Combine accurate temperature and humidity sensors in one unit with the AKCP NIST2 Temperature and Humidity Sensor. Both measurements run on a single intelligent sensor port, leaving other ports on the base unit free for additional sensors. It measures temperature from -55°C to +75°C with ±0.5°C accuracy and relative humidity from 0% to 100%. Use it to monitor server racks, data centers, and industrial enclosures.

Accuracy Ensured

To ensure accurate readings, the NIST2 Temperature and Humidity Sensor checks its own accuracy every second. Each unit includes two NIST-calibrated and certified temperature sensors and compares the primary reading with the secondary reading once per second. If the difference is larger than the stated accuracy, the sensor sends an out-of-calibration alert, allowing you to catch drift as it happens instead of at the next recalibration. To keep readings responsive and accurate, the sensing element sits in a perforated metal tube that conducts heat.

Quick Setup

A sensorProbe+ base unit detects the sensor automatically and powers it, removing the need for a separate power supply. Each sensor has its own SNMP OID (object identifier), allowing you to collect readings over your network with the tools you already use. All you need to do is set your thresholds for low and high warning and critical parameters. The built in graphing function of the base unit provides a pattern of temperature or humidity trends over time. 

Two Versions to Fit Your Needs

• THS01-NIST2: a 1 ft fixed cable with a dual temperature and humidity sensor on one
  end and an RJ-45 connector on the other end. Perfect for mounting inside a rack or cabinet next to the base unit. This version cannot be extended. Package includes the 1 foot fixed cable sensor.
• THS00-NIST2: the remote version. It ships with a 5 ft CAT5 cable with RJ-45 connectors and can be extended using standard CAT5 cable up to 1,000 ft (300 m) from the AKCP base unit. The sensor can be mounted with screws, adhesive, or DIN rail clips. Package includes the sensor unit and the free 5 foot cable.

THSxx custom lengths can be ordered to suit your needs. AKCP recommends against extending either version through patch panels or RJ-45 couplers. Talk to a Grid Connect engineer to confirm your setup or to order a custom cable length.

Note: Requires a sensorProbe+ controller.
