Digilance V is the latest most advanced handheld temperature instrument for molten metal applications available today.
Digilance V - Reliable Temperature Measurement
- Using platinum-based immersion thermocouples, the instrument can measure temperatures up to 1820ºC (3308ºF) in all ferrous and non-ferrous applications.
- Ready (green), Measure (yellow), and Complete (red) LEDs signal the measurement status, with a buzzer on completion.
- The temperature result is locked on the display after a typical measurement time of 5-8 seconds and the last 500 measurements are internally stored.
- Standard configuration ensures that the instrument is plug and play.
- Available as a Standard Measure-and-Display model and a Wireless model, which incorporates real-time wireless data transfer.

The Digilance system has the optional capability to wirelessly transmit measurement results. After each measurement is taken, the instrument transmits the measurement result to a Receiver Box. The signal is then further transmitted by a USB connection to a computer, where the data is stored for further process analysis.
Advanced configuration allows for the input of Heat Number and Measurement Location information to track measurement results in the production process. This information can be entered directly on the Digilance keypad.
The portability and versatility of Digilance Wireless enables the operator to use the instrument at several measuring locations while maintaining measurement traceability.
