Dickson TP425

The Dickson TP425 is a dual-channel data logger for temperature and humidity monitoring in controlled environments. It combines an internal digital temperature sensor with a monolithic RH IC humidity sensor, delivering ±0.8°F (±0.5°C) accuracy across the primary operating range and ±1.8°F (±1.0°C) at temperature extremes. The unit stores up to 32,512 sample points with configurable logging intervals from 1 second to 24 hours. A 2.5-digit LCD display shows real-time readings or min/max values, while push-button controls enable three start modes: no delay, button-triggered, or delayed start. Data downloads via USB to a compatible PC running DicksonWare™ software in approximately 1 minute when memory is full. The CR123 lithium battery provides one year of typical operation and is user-replaceable in the field. Housed in a compact polycarbonate enclosure measuring 1.34″ × 3.08″ × 2.25″, the TP425 weighs 4 oz and operates across -4°F to +158°F (-20°C to +70°C) at 0% to 95% RH non-condensing conditions. Audio/visual alarms and indicator states (solid, scrolling, flashing, blank) provide at-a-glance logging status.
