CT-621BT, a Bluetooth-enabled stainless steel probe thermometer logger that allows you to checktemperature logdata with your smartphone,is now on sale at Toei Radio Radio Department Store.

The "CT-621BT" can be connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone with a dedicated application installed todisplay measurement data in graph form and send it via e-mail in CSV format. The sensor part is heat-resistant and waterproof, capable of measuring temperatures from -40°C to +300°C, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from recording temperatures during various manufacturing processes to cooking that requires exquisite temperature control.

The main specifications are as follows:Sensor type is thermistor stainless steel probe . Measurement range is -40 to +300°C with a resolution of 0.1°C. Recording interval is from 2 seconds to 15 minutes (settable in 2-second increments), and the maximum number of points that can be recorded on the main unit is 14,000 (equivalent to just under 7.8 hours at the shortest 2-second interval).
