Take temperature readings, retain them for review and receive an alert when a set limit is reached. The Sato SK-1260 is a handheld digital thermometer for routine checks in food production, laboratories, factories and maintenance work.

Its interchangeable probe system lets you select the sensing arrangement for the job. Choose an immersion or penetration probe for suitable materials, an air probe for ambient measurements, or a contact probe designed for the surface being checked.

Temperature memory and alarm functions

  • Manual memory: Store up to 180 measured values.
  • Automatic memory: Store up to 120 measured values.
  • High/low alarms: A buzzer warns when the temperature reaches a configured limit.
  • Reading functions: Maximum, minimum, display hold and relative measurement.
  • Optional printing: Print stored readings using a compatible dedicated printer and connection cable.

The connected probe limits the usable temperature range. The instrument's 1250°C upper range does not apply to the supplied SK-S100K probe.

Supplied SK-S100K standard probe

The SK-S100K is a Type K probe for liquids, viscous liquids and semisolid materials. Its sensing stem measures 2.3 mm in diameter by 150 mm long, with a 1.1 m cable. The probe is rated from -100 to 300°C; operation remains subject to the instrument's input range.
