LogTag External Probe Temperature Logger
Our external probe unit uses the best quality materials in construction of the probe unit and its companion receptacle on the body of the LogTag unit itself.  Contacts are gold plated to defeat corrosion and ensure enduring high quality data transmission.

Cables are heat sealed and bonded at both the plug end and the probe end.  The cable itself is PTFE (FDA food contact rated) coaxial cable with a multi-layer outer skin that provides flexibility and superior wear resistance.

All of the other features of the LogTag recorder line are preserved in the LogTag external probe unit. 

With cabling available up to 3 meters (almost 10 feet) is it possible to have good separation of the logger body itself from the sensing location.  Probes are available with handles for forcing the probe shaft into tough or resilient materials.

Simple controls on the face of the logger allow the user to start logging or mark the record during a recording episode (to signal a specific event or time point).

One advantage of the external probe logger system of LogTag is that the unique "Mark" system allows personnel to note time-based events without removing the logger from the location of the monitoring.  Also, with some applications, there is an advantage in that the probe can be left in place as the logger body is removed to be downloaded and reprogrammed.  The range of the probe encompasses all food and beverage temperatures of interest from dry ice sublimation up to the boiling point of water.
