Bee – Laboratory Thermometer with pH and BLE options

PDF datasheet and reference files.

The Bee is a handheld thermometer with an illuminated digital display. It is designed for use in the laboratory and in industry. User settings are easily programmed. It has a high capacity, rechargeable battery. It has nonvolatile memory for data logging. The electronics uses extreme low power design, so that many hours of reliable use are available. The case may easily be mounted to a vertical surface. The standard temperature probe is thermistor based in a laboratory grade stainless steel jacket. The Bee may be charged via its USB-C connector, which may also be used for programming and data output.
