The Series BPI is a range of battery powered temperature

indicators. The Series BPI-XX1 accepts an RTD sensor; the

Series BPI-XX2 accepts a thermocouple sensor. The sensor

type, temperature units and other flexible configuration settings

are selectable via a simple to use menu system, which is

navigated by the use of three push-button keys located on the

rear of the display. The entire assembly is sealed into a cap that

fits directly onto the connecting heads.

Please inspect the packaging and instrument thoroughly for any

signs of transit damage. If the instrument has been damaged,

please notify your shipper immediately.
