FAQs

The StowAway-IS Temperature data logger is rated intrinsically safe for recording temperatures in hazardous locations. Its small size, wide temperature range (-40 to 75°C), and splash-proof design make it ideal for deployment in harsh industrial environments. Intrinsically safe rating (by US standards): IS, Class I, II, Division 1, Groups A-G, Temperature Code T4 (<=135°C); NI, Class I, Division 2, Groups A-D, Temperature Code T4 (<=135°C); S, Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; as specified in the US National Electric Code and approved by Factory Mutual.

Features:

Certified intrinsically safe for monitoring hazardous locations where combustible gas and/or dust may be present.

Environment:

The TBIB-40+75-IS Data Logger is for use in Indoor and Outdoor environments

Measurements:

The TBIB-40+75-IS Data Logger supports the following measurements : Temperature

Operating Temp Range*: -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F)
Operating RH Range:
at 0-100% RH and <30°C (86°F): continuous exposure
at 0-95% RH and >30°C (86°F): continuous exposure
at 95%-100% RH and >30°C (86°F): max of 10 weeks

Note: exposure to continuous moisture above 30°C (86°F) for more than 10 weeks may affect temperature accuracy

Time Accuracy: ~100 ppm (±1 minute per week) at 20°C (68°F), see Plot A for full
temperature/time dependence

Temperature Accuracy: ±0.46°C (±0.72°F) at 20°C (68°F)

Temperature Resolution: 0.35°C (0.63°F) at 20°C (68°F)

Response Time: <60 minutes in still air

Recommended Storage Temperature: -40°C to 50°C (-40°F to 122°F); storage outside this range will reduce battery life

Measurement Capacity: 32K 8-bit measurements

Data Offload Time: 8K in 90 seconds, 32K in 6 minutes

Size: 1.5" diameter, 0.8" height, mounting bail hole diameter 3/16" (5mm)

Weight: 1.1oz (32g)

Battery: 1/10 D, 3.6 Volt Lithium, non-replaceable

Battery Life: 5 years continuous use with a logging interval ≥10 minutes and multiple sampling disabled

Environmental Rating: Tested to NEMA 6 (IP67); not intended for deployment in water or extended exposure to epoxy-permeating vapors

Intrinsically Safe Rating: IS, Class I, II, Division 1, Groups A-G,
Temperature Code T4 (£135°C); NI, Class I, Division 2, Groups A-D,
Temperature Code T4 (£135°C); S, Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G

*Measurement range may differ from operating range due to
precision calibration process by up to ±2.0°F (1.1°C)
