Temperature Sensor
Operation range internal sensors: -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F)
U23-002 external temperature sensor: -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F)
U23-003 and U23-004 external sensors: -40° to 100°C (-40° to 212°F), with tip and cable immersion in fresh water up to 50°C (122°F) for one year
Accuracy: ±0.21°C from 0° to 50°C (±0.38°F from 32° to 122°F); see Plot A
Resolution: 0.02°C at 25°C (0.04°F at 77°F); see Plot A
Response Time (typical to 90%)
U23-001 internal sensor: 40 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec

U23-003 and U23-004 external sensors: 3 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec; 30 seconds in stirred water
Stability (drift): < 0.1°C (0.18°F) per year
Relative Humidity Sensor (U23-001, U23-002 only)
Operation range: 0-100% RH, -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F) Exposure to conditions below -20°C (-4°F) or above 95%
RH may temporarily increase the maximum RH sensor error by an additional 1%
Accuracy: ±2.5% from 10% to 90% RH (typical), to a maximum of ±3.5% including hysteresis. See Plot B for full range.
Resolution: 0.03%
