The HW group Temp‑485 Box2 is an advanced RS‑485 temperature sensor designed specifically for reliable and precise temperature measurement in sensitive and demanding environments. Its technical performance and durable build make it an ideal choice for operators of server rooms, data centers, industrial facilities, and storage‑sensitive sectors such as pharmaceuticals or food industries.

With a measurement range from –10 °C to +70 °C, the Temp‑485 Box2 covers a wide range of applications. Whether in climate‑controlled server farms, production halls with significant temperature fluctuations, or cold storage for perishable goods, this sensor delivers accurate readings at all times with a precision of ±0.8 °C. Users can configure output values in Celsius, Kelvin, or Fahrenheit, facilitating integration into international monitoring systems.

A key feature is the RS‑485 interface, enabling secure, interference‑free data transmission over distances of up to 1000 meters. This makes the Temp‑485 Box2 perfect for extensive monitoring setups where sensor data from different facility areas must be centrally collected. Programmable addressing via hardware jumpers or software allows multiple sensors to operate in the same network without signal conflicts.

The sensor operates energy‑efficiently with minimal power requirements and is resilient to power fluctuations. With its compact form factor and IP‑rated protection for reliable indoor operation, it excels in installations where space is limited or conditions are demanding.
