Keep control over temperature this summer

Australian summers are notoriously long, feature some of the most intense heat on the planet and can play havoc with our lives. It may seem like they never end – and in some areas the weather never really cools – but every year we manage to get through the hottest months to some form of reprieve.

For businesses that transport and store temperature-sensitive materials, the summer months can present particularly challenging circumstances. While implementing a permanent temperature monitoring system is an ideal option for many, having a flexible, temporary solution may be the right choice.

The testo 184 T1

Designed to monitor the conditions of sensitive goods over a finite period of time, the testo 184 T1 USB Start Stop Temperature Logger is the perfect device for transporting or storing fresh produce, pharmaceutical or other medical materials in summer. The unit features a built-in battery with enough power for up to 90 days of use, and as the name suggests, the 184 T1 can be started and stopped as required, potentially extending the life span even longer.

With a capacity of up to 16,000 unique measurements, your equipment or materials will be well monitored when the temperature rises. Output of the measured data is simple too, with an onboard USB connector allowing transfer directly to a PC, or NFC functionality allowing wireless transfer to a smart device through the accompanying Testo app. The 184 T1 is available individually or in packs of 10 or 50 loggers, which you can deploy as needed.

The testo 184 T2

For a more robust solution that's still flexible enough for shorter-term monitoring, the testo 184 T2 features all the benefits of its sibling device, while boosting effectiveness in key areas. The most obvious difference is the inclusion of an LCD display on the unit, providing at-a-glance data regarding adherence to configured limit values.

Capturing all those values is easy too – the 184 T2 allows for up to 40,000 individual measurements with a battery life supporting up to 150 hours of use. The same PC and smart device connectivity options as the T1 are included, meaning you'll be able to access your data and produce PDF reports whether you're on-site or on the move.
