QUESTemp 48N


TSI Quest QUESTemp 48N

The QUESTemp° 44/46/48N utilizes a waterless wet bulb sensor designed for working environments where daily instrument upkeep is difficult.

A high-quality humidity sensor and proprietary algorithm perform the calculation of the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) values, eliminating the hassle of daily wet bulb maintenance.
  • Utilizes WBGT sensing technology; the standard for heat stress management
  • Waterless wet bulb sensing technology eliminates daily maintenance
  • Convenient stay time parameters per multiple standards help determine work-rest ratios
  • IP 54 ingress rating helps protect unit from exposure to dirt, dust, oil and water
  • Designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use in demanding environments

SensorsDry Bulb Sensor1000 Ohm Platinum RTD
Accuracy and Ranges±0.5 from 0 C to 120 C (±0.9 F from 32 F to 248 F)
Waterless Wet Bulb (Humidity) Sensor
Accuracy and RangesExpanded measurement uncertainty of 1.1 C (k=2) between 0 C and 80 C (32 F and 176 F)
Globe Sensor1000 Ohm Platinum RTD
Accuracy and Ranges±0.5 from 0 C to 120 C (±0.9 F from 32 F to 248 F)
Relative Humidity SensorIntegrated circuit with capacitive polymer sensor
Accuracy and Ranges±5% from 20 to 95% (non-condensing)
Operating Temperature RangeSensor Assembly-5 C to +100 C
Electronics-5 C to 60 C
HousingDesigned water resistant to a light rain or mist. If rain is frequent, best practice would be to remote the sensor bar and keep the instrument sheltered.
