Thermometers and Tracking the Temperature

January 17, 2025

Thermometers are an essential home and garden monitoring tool, designed with simplicity and functionality. From Digital MIN/MAX Thermometers to Soil Thermometers we supply a range of thermometers suitable for monitoring various areas of your home and garden.

Getting started:

Our thermometers can be mounted either indoors and outdoors both providing accurate temperature readings.

Position your thermometer in an undisturbed area, away from direct sunlight and extreme sources of heat and cold.

Setting up:

Hang your thermometers in the desired location using the keyhole fitting on the back. (For digital thermometers ensure you place two AAA batteries into the back and place the protective battery cover before mounting.)

Non digital thermometers should be left 24 hours to adjust to the temperature of its surroundings. Digital thermometers should display temperature measurements once mounted.

If you have purchased a Perspex Window Thermometer ensure you have securely stuck your thermometer on the outside of your desired window. Please note that once removed you will not be able to reattach your thermometer in another location.

How to record:

Read thermometers in real-time, our Thermometer Dials display clear and accurate readings in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Our digital thermometers display MIN/MAX readings, to identify wither minimum or maximum daily temperatures, press the MINI button to display minimum temperature readings and the MAXI button to display maximum temperatures.

Soil Thermometers display readings in real-time on the probe sticking out of the area of soil you are measuring. Our soil thermometers measure in Celsius. TOP TIP: Purchasing our Sun and Shade Soil Bundle will allow you to simultaneously compare sun and shade soil temperature readings.

Maintenance:

Engraved dials and mountboards are suitable for indoor use only.

For digital thermometers, it is recommended that you place the thermometer in a sheltered environment, away from direct rainfall or sunlight.

Digital Thermometers require battery power; therefore, you will need: 2 x AAA batteries.

Ensure Soil Thermometers remain upright and the bottom of the thermometer pointer is submerged in the soil to provide accurate readings.
