Review on K Type 4-Channel Thermocouple Thermometer Data Logger with SD Card & LED Alarm by Hco Cortes

After 1 year of continuous use I liked this recorder so much I bought 3 more! The highlights are how easy to use, accurate and reliable the data collection is when combined with the right accessories!

Braided metal wire probes. 4) It takes a little practice to get started, but once you've adjusted the settings to your liking, it's as simple as holding the REC button and then pressing MAX/MIN so you can see the display in real time during the recording time. 5) I used NIST and NSF certified thermometers to compare temperatures. This recorder with a set of high quality thermocouples is very accurate (+/- 2F)
