The Thomas 8601 temperature alarm is used for monitoring the temperature in liquids, semisolids, and es. The thermometer measures temperature from -50 to 70 degrees C (-58 to 158 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or -1 degree C. The thermometer reads temperature through either an internal or a submersible external probe with a 10-foot cable. The thermometer memory stores minimum/maximum values and has a temperature alarm that can be programmed to indicate audibly when the temperature exceeds a maximum or minimum value. The alarm continues to sound for up to 12 hours, even if the temperature returns to non-alarm range. The LCD display has 0.5" high digits for visibility from up to 10 ft. away. The thermometer is traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology standards, indicating that it is calibrated to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 17025 levels. The Thomas 8601 is used in food storage, scientific laboratories, and other industries that require temperature monitoring.

Digital thermometers are instruments used to measure the temperature of air, liquids, or surfaces electronically. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Most digital thermometers use thermistors, which are small electronic resistors. Thermistors are made out of metals that conduct electricity within a certain range and become more conductive the warmer they get. A microcontroller inside the thermometer measures this electrical conductivity and converts it to a temperature, which is displayed on an LCD. Digital thermometers are used in a wide range of applications, including in laboratory settings, food service and storage, and in doctors' offices and hospitals.
