Questions and answers

No, the Geratherm® solar speed can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The unit of measurement used is ° Celsius.

 

 

No, because the Geratherm® solar speed does not have a battery. The energy is supplied via a built-in solar cell.

You can put a hygienic disposable cover on the probe to avoid virus transmission. When using disposable cases, there may be a deviation of 0.1 °C (0.2 °F) from the actual temperature. Discard the disposable sleeves after the measurement.
 

Disposable covers are available from the pharmacy.

Wipe the probe head with a solution of mild soapy water and cold water. Disinfect the thermometer by wiping the sensor and the lower section of the housing with a cloth previously dipped in alcohol (recommendation: isopropyl alcohol 70%). Do not boil the thermometer and do not clean it in the autoclave.

 

No, the Geratherm® solar speed is not waterproof.

The Geratherm® solar speed complies with IP 20, is therefore protected against solid foreign bodies with a diameter of 12.5 mm and has no protection against water.
