High Reliability - Dust and splash proof construction provide a solid Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate of 171,000 hours.
Fast Responding - Direct reading of outflow and inflow WBGT, WB, and GT values. Globe equivalent temperatures typically requires three minutes.
Accurate - Calculates to 1/100th degree and displays to 1/10th degree.
Easy Operation - At the push of a button, the RSS-214 calculates time weighted mean BGT, metabolic rate and work rest ratios.
Optional Data Logging:
Software provides ease of data storage and retrieval and calculates time weighted mean WBGT and time weighted metabolic rates.
