The RET-2ISO for rats has all the same features of the standard RET-2 plus:
• An isolated sensor (can be used with monitoring equipment where electrical interference from other electrodes may be present).
• Reinforced strain relief for applications where probe is in more frequent use.
• Smooth ball tip. Stainless steel shaft - '' long, .059'' diameter. Tip diameter .125'', 5 foot lead length. Time constant 0.8 seconds.
Time Constant is defined as the time required to reach 63% of final temperature in liquid. An accurate reading is obtained when the reading stops changing, typically 5-10 time constants.
Maximum Temperature refers to intermittent use of probe. When probe is used for continuous measurements, maximum temperature should be reduced by 25% unless specified.
