  3. Monitoring system testo 160 for museums, archives, galleries and libraries

Monitoring in glass display cases:
The external probes

It is not always possible to place a data logger directly inside a display cabinet. The small probes measure temperature, humidity, light intensity or UV radiation precisely and unobtrusively (with the suitable data logger).

The external probes are ideal for use in museums, galleries and other exhibition venues.

Out front

Of the entire monitoring system, only the probes are visible, and can be coloured, just like the deco-covers.

Behind the scenes

The data logger as well as its cabling can be discreetly placed inside the pedestal of the display case.
