The TX5050 wired
thermometer monitors and displays the indoor temperature and, as
reported by the included weather-resistant sensor on a 10-foot
(3-meter) cord, the outdoor temperature. Temperatures can be
displayed in either °F or °C, as selected by a recessed button
on the
back of the unit. Although the indoor and outdoor temperatures
are not displayed simultaneously, the display can (as mentioned
above) alternate automatically between the two temperatures at
2-second intervals.
The TX5050's
integral memory records maximum and minimum values for both
indoor temperature and outdoor temperature. These values are
available at the push of a button, and you can simply push
another button to clear and reset the memory whenever desired.
The indoor temperature measuring
range of the TX5050 is 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C). The
outdoor temperature measuring range is -4°F to
158°F (-20° to +70°C).
The TX5050 requires
one AAA (1.5V) battery for
powering. The battery is not included, and we recommend using an
alkaline battery.
When attaching the
TX5050 to a window, be sure that the window surface is clean and
dry. You may want to wet the suction cup a little before
applying it to the window. A damp cloth works well for this. A
second, smaller suction cup is included for the probe wire if
securing the wire to the window at some point would be
advantageous n your particular application.
While lots of
suction-cup thermometers mount on the outside of a window and
are outdoor only, this one mounts on the inside and is
indoor/outdoor. Also, while some outside-mount digital
thermometers have a memory that automatically resets daily, the
TX5050 features a manual memory reset. You may find this
preferable because you can reset the memory any time you want
(weekly or monthly, for example, instead of daily).
With its small size, big
transparent display, manually resettable min/max memory, and
inside mounting, the Timex TX5050 indoor/outdoor Clear thermometer offers more functionality than outside-mount digital
thermometers that show outdoor temperature only. The
TX5050 is great for any room in the house with a window--or the office or
greenhouse--and fits almost anywhere. It comes with a 1-year
factory warranty.
