Digital Solar-Powered Bimetal Thermometer
The Dwyer Instruments DBTA3181 is a digital thermometer built for process and environmental monitoring. It suits technicians and engineers who need a self-powered instrument for local temperature indication without external wiring.
Measurement Range -58 to 302 Degrees F
The unit reads from -58 degrees Fahrenheit to 302 degrees Fahrenheit, covering -50 degrees Celsius to 150 degrees Celsius. A 3.5-digit LCD with half-inch digits provides clear readout. Operation requires a minimum of 35 lux; below that level the display will not function.
Adjustable-Angle 18-Inch Stem with 1/2 NPT
The 18-inch stainless steel stem connects via a half-inch NPT fitting and features an adjustable-angle housing for flexible viewing. The 300 series stainless steel case and acrylic lens suit industrial environments. A solar cell powers the device, removing the need for battery replacement or external supply wiring.

Questions about this item
Will the 18-inch stem and 1/2 in NPT fitting connect to my existing process piping?
The 18 in stem and 1/2 in NPT thread match standard industrial fittings, so it will thread directly into most existing pipe ports without adapters.
How can I verify the LCD is updating correctly after installation?
The 3 1/2-digit LCD shows live temperature in 1/2 in digits; a steady reading within the -58 to 302 °F range confirms the solar cell is receiving at least 35 lux and the sensor is operating.
Does the package include a NIST-traceable calibration certificate or must I order one separately?
The supplier notes specify "Includes NIST-Traceable Certificate No", so the thermometer ships with the certificate already in the box; no separate purchase is required.
