Limited operating temperature range

In this section:

What is the limited operating temperature range? What is it for?

Each Saga device model type has a defined standard operating temperature range:

  • Saga Standard: ​-20°C to +50°C

  • Saga Arctic: ​-30°C to +30°C

  • Saga Dry Ice: ​-95°C to +50°C

  • Saga Cryogenic: -200°C to +50°C

Note

The standard operating temperature range refers to the temperature of the device itself. If you want to monitor temperatures below -30°C, use a device with a probe, either Saga Dry Ice or Saga Cryogenic.

For more details on the operating temperature range for different devices, see Device comparison.

The devices are not intended for use outside of their standard operating temperature range. But they are designed to withstand being in the limited operating temperature range for a short while. Each Saga device has an upper limited operating temperature range and a lower limited operating temperature.

Warning

Functionality in the limited operating temperature range is only a backup option in case the temperature temporarily goes outside the standard operating temperature range.

The device should not be in the limited operating temperature range for more than 6 hours.

Moreover, the device should never be used in temperatures outside the defined limited temperature range.

Which device model is right for my shipment?

Controlant offers a range of device model types that can handle temperatures from -200°C to +50°C:

  • Saga Standard: ​-20°C to +50°C

  • Saga Arctic: ​-30°C to +30°C

  • Saga Dry Ice: ​-95°C to +50°C

  • Saga Cryogenic: -200°C to +50°C

If you want to monitor temperatures below -30°C, use either Saga Dry Ice or Saga Cryogenic.

Please use the Device comparison page to identify the most suitable model type to use.

How accurate are the measurements in the limited operating temperature range?

Notice

Saga devices are not calibrated outside the standard operating temperature range.

While the device is in the limited operating temperature range, it is expected to have a temperature accuracy of ±3°C.

For details on the accuracy and the standard temperature calibration points for devices, see Device comparison.
