AZ Instruments 8778 Heat Stroke Prevention Meter (WBGT Meter)

The Handheld WBGT Checker 8778 is a professional heat stress monitoring instrument designed to measure environmental conditions and prevent heat-related illnesses in industrial, outdoor, and workplace environments.

This advanced meter evaluates Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), providing a reliable index for assessing heat stress by combining temperature, humidity, and radiant heat effects.

Equipped with a globe thermometer sensor, real-time monitoring capability, and an audible alarm system, the 8778 ensures safe working conditions by alerting users when heat exposure reaches dangerous levels.

Its portable design, PC connectivity, and high-accuracy sensors make it ideal for safety officers, engineers, and field technicians.

Key Features

• Measures WBGT index for heat stress evaluation (Indoor & Outdoor)
• Simultaneous measurement of Air Temperature (TA), Globe Temperature (TG), and Humidity
• Audible alarm (buzzer) for heat danger zone warnings
• High-precision capacitance humidity sensor
• Built-in PC interface for real-time data logging
• Humidity self-calibration using salt bottle kits
• Protective sensor cover for durability during storage
• Suitable for both industrial and environmental monitoring
• Designed for heat stroke prevention applications
