Red Sea ReefSense – Temperature Probe

The Red Sea ReefSense Temperature Probe is a dedicated, high-precision digital sensor designed to provide reliable, standalone monitoring of water temperature. This separate unit is perfect for reef keepers who need to monitor temperature in a second location (such as a quarantine tank, a separate refugium, or within a chiller loop) or as a primary control sensor.

Technical Features

Dedicated Digital Sensor: Provides continuous, accurate temperature data as its sole function.
Digital Signal Purity: Like all ReefSense probes, it converts the analog reading to a digital signal inside the probe itself. This makes the reading highly stable and immune to electrical interference (EMI) often found near pumps and other electronics in the aquarium setup.
High Precision: Offers a high level of accuracy, 0.1 F, ensuring very tight control over thermal stability.
Smart Calibration Memory: Stores calibration data directly within the probe’s internal memory. This allows for simple plug-and-play functionality across different ports or controllers without the need for immediate re-calibration.
Ecosystem Integration and Automation

When connected to a ReefControl Lite or ReefControl Pro controller, the ReefSense Temperature Probe unlocks powerful automation via the ReefBeat mobile app:

24/7 Monitoring & Logging: Tracks and records the temperature continuously, providing real-time data and historical trend analysis to help identify overheating or chilling issues.
Critical Alerts: Sends instant notifications to your mobile device if the temperature falls outside your custom-set safe range, allowing you to prevent thermal shock to your livestock.
Automation Triggers (Primary Function): The temperature reading can be used as the primary trigger to control heating and cooling devices:
Control DC Equipment: Automatically switch a cooling fan ON/OFF using the 12V DC ports on the ReefControl Lite/Pro.
Control AC Equipment: Automatically switch AC devices like heaters or chillers ON/OFF when integrated with a ReefControl Power unit (sold separately), ensuring precise thermal control.
Multi-Point Temperature Check: Allows advanced users to monitor the temperature differential between, for example, the main display tank and the sump or a critical reactor.
This probe is an excellent addition for users seeking redundancy in temperature monitoring or requiring temperature-driven automation from a specific location within their system.
