WAHL
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WAHL from 3G Electric.
What is the temperature range and accuracy of WAHL panel-mount digital thermometers?
WAHL panel-mount digital thermometers, such as the D1396 series, measure temperatures from -328°F to 1,472°F (-200°C to 800°C). Accuracy is specified as ±0.1°F (±0.1°C) for one year at 23°C ±5°C ambient. This wide range and high accuracy make them suitable for industrial process monitoring, HVAC, and laboratory applications where precise temperature readings are required. The instruments are water-resistant and designed for panel mounting with a female thread connection.
What thread sizes are available for WAHL digital process thermometers?
WAHL digital process thermometers are available with different thread sizes, commonly 1/2 inch female thread. Specific part numbers may vary; for example, D1396-18N and D1396-10N feature a 1/2 inch thread size. The female connection type allows for direct mounting into process lines or panels. When selecting a model, verify the thread size matches your existing port or mounting requirement. 3G Electric stocks multiple part numbers to accommodate different installation needs.
Are WAHL panel-mount digital thermometers suitable for washdown environments?
Yes, WAHL panel-mount digital thermometers are constructed with water-resistant features, making them suitable for environments where moisture or washdown may occur. The water-resistant design helps protect the instrument from ingress of water, ensuring reliable operation in industrial settings such as food processing, chemical plants, and outdoor HVAC installations. However, they are not intended for submersion. For specific IP ratings, consult the product datasheet or contact 3G Electric for technical details.
What is the difference between WAHL D1396-18 and D1396-18N?
The WAHL D1396-18 and D1396-18N are both water-resistant panel-mount digital thermometers with a temperature range of -328°F to 1,472°F (-200°C to 800°C) and a 1/2 inch female thread. The difference lies in the specific configuration or connection type, as indicated by the 'N' suffix. The D1396-18N may have a different connection style or feature compared to the D1396-18. For precise differences, refer to the manufacturer's part numbering system or contact 3G Electric for a detailed comparison.
Can WAHL digital thermometers be used with RTDs or other sensors?
WAHL digital process thermometers are self-contained instruments that measure temperature directly via their sensing element. They are not typically used with external RTDs, as they include their own sensor. However, WAHL also manufactures RTDs and soldering iron testers as separate product families. If your application requires an RTD input, you would select a WAHL RTD product instead. The digital thermometers are designed for direct temperature measurement and display, with a female thread connection for mounting.
What support does 3G Electric provide for WAHL products?
