Temperature sensor increases precision
The Model 1124 precision temperature sensor from Phidgets delivers four times more accurate results than the existing Model 1114 temperature sensor.
The new device also features a wider temperature range, covering ambient temperature from -50 to +150C "A lot of our users have been asking for a temperature sensor with lower noise and increased accuracy, and with this new product we now offer two temperature sensors allowing the user to choose the one that meets their requirements", says Chester Fitchett, CEO of Phidgets

"We have decided to reduce the selling price of the 1114 temperature sensor from C$11.00 to $7.00 - a 35% reduction, for all our customers who do not need the added accuracy", says Bernard Rousseau, Director of Marketing.
Product specifications include a typical error of +/-0.5C at 25C or +/-0.75C from 0 to 100C, and a maximum error of +/-2C from 0 to 100C.
"Unlike a lot of our competitors' products that require their users to write some firmware code in order to use their sensor, we are completely 'plug and play'", says Rousseau.
"With Phidgets, you plug it in and start using it and when it comes to programming, the user, not us, decides which operating system and which computer language he wants to use".
The Model 1124 precision temperature sensor is available now.
The suggested resale price is C$15.
