SwarmTemp follows the recommendation of the CDC for temperature buffering without the old, expensive and cumbersome probe-in-bulb method saving the user time, money and headaches. Why does SwarmTemp not require Glycol / Water thermal buffering? SwarmTemp's temperature sensor is internal and subjected to the mass of the sensor itself which when compared to a typical probe in Glycol bulb, the time constant numbers are virtually the same.Almost all food or medicine monitoring requires thermal buffering which is done by submersing a temperature probe in Glycol, water or glass beads as defined by the CDC or FDA. What is thermal buffering? Thermal buffering prevents registering temperatures resulting from normal cooling cycles of cooler or normal cooler door openings so not to register temperatures that do not represent the temperature of food or medicine.If customers have intermittent connection problems, you can buy an WiFi Repeater from SensorSwarm or buy an off-the-shelf repeater. SwarmTemp uses WiFi and can reach a WiFi access point so long as the access point is within 20 feet from the walk-in cooler door and the sensor is mounted above the walk-in cooler door. Can SwarmTemp operate inside walk in coolers that are surrounded by metal? Yes.You can designate up to 5 different contacts and how they receive the alert. SwarmTemp alerts you via a text message to your cell phone, email, app push notification and optionally voice call. Does SwarmTemp alert me by cell phone? Yes.SwarmTemp conforms to and meets the NSF ANSI 2 standard which is for food safety and accuracy of temperature measurement devices over the temperature range that food needs to be safely stored. What is NSF Listed mean and why is it important for temperature monitoring devices? NSF is the food industry's safety organization that ensures that any tools, equipment or devices that would be in direct contact with food shall conform to certain safety standards to prevent food born disease.Many customers can simply tie wrap sensor to cooler or freezer racking. Does SwarmTemp require any special mounting, drilling or specialized installing? No.The sensor, wireless radio, antenna and power source are all self contained in one small footprint module. Does SwarmTemp use an external probe to be routed into cooler or freezer? No.

The accuracy graph of sensor can be found here. SensorSwarm guarantees accuracy over the life of the Sensor.

The NIST traceability of the SwarmTemp sensor is done at the time of calibration at the factory. The temperature sensing technology is NOT the old thermistor method which is prone to become inaccurate over time, not consistently accurate over a wide temperature range and becomes severely inaccurate when there are voltage drops. SwarmTemp uses a onetime calibration technology and does not ever need to be calibrated again. Does SwarmTemp need to be calibrated every year? No.
