Wireless temperature monitoring

There seems to be a diverse group of people that visit this forum. I'm outta luck and spent most of yesterday googling what I'm looking for, so i'm asking around now to see if anyone has ever dealt with something like this

I need a temperature sensor probe that can slip into a book, and transmit a wireless signal to a reciever about what temperature that book is at. Oh and it needs to survive -60c to 121c


Completely left field but I'm out of options.

Email these guys, they should be able to help you out or point you in the right direction...

I could be wrong

but

I'm fairly certain the book won't survive those temperature parameters

Book is paper...

never saw Fahrenheit 451?

are you kidding me?

<franticly googles C to F... shit 328f...>

<pulls save out of ass>

since this is obviously an experiment

it will be repeated multiple times

so

the book will be subjected to low temperature pyrolysis
<we'll ignore this is more of an effect on biomass vs inanimate objects>

and thus

book wont survive

He just needs the probe to survive not the book   :P

Do you want a datalogger to record the temperature over time and download later?
Alarm when outside certain parameters to seperate monitor?
Transmitted in real time to a seperate monitor?
All of the above?
Let me know what you're trying to achieve and I should be able to help, I've worked in environmental monitoring for years.

Look up thermocouple wire. there are different ranges on where the insulators can with stand and the meters are cheap and lots to choose from.

those are not wireless...

How about these:

I can't see the product spec sheet cause you have to register, but zigbee is a pretty good wireless standard.

*edit - they do not advertise the temperature range you want.  You could always try one and see how low/high it can go?

Thanks for the leeds....

The books survive.... that how we dry them  [coffee]

OH Btw it has to survive in a vacuum too.

Sublimation ftw.
