Sato SK-1260 Waterproof Digital Thermometer with Memory and Alarm

Sato SK-1260 Digital Thermometer with Memory and Alarm

The Sato SK-1260 is a handheld thermometer that accepts dedicated Type K thermocouple and thermistor probes. It combines temperature measurement, stored readings and high/low alarms for checks in food production, laboratories, factories and construction applications.

Choose a probe for the material, measuring range and access available. Thermistor probes suit lower-temperature measurement tasks, while Type K options cover a wider range of temperatures and surface-probe designs.

Key Features

• Compatible with dedicated SK-1260 thermistor and Type K thermocouple probes.
• Stores up to 180 readings in manual mode or 120 readings in automatic mode.
• High and low temperature alarms with audible and display indication.
• MAX/MIN, HOLD and relative-temperature functions.
• Stored readings can be printed using a compatible optional printer and cable.
• IPX4 splash-resistant construction and a carrying pouch with neck strap.

Water protection: IPX4 covers water splashes from any direction. It does not mean the thermometer can be immersed. Follow the operating instructions and the protection limits of the selected probe and connections.

Available Configurations

The SK-S100K standard probe is rated from −100 to 300°C. The thermometer’s wider input range does not extend the probe rating. Additional probe types are selected separately.

Main Unit Specifications

Accuracy: Main Unit and Probe

Main-unit accuracy and probe accuracy are separate specifications. Select the complete measurement system for the required tolerance; the thermometer’s resolution is not its measurement accuracy.

For the applicable thermistor probes, Sato specifies probe accuracy of ±(0.1% of reading + 0.2)°C from 0 to 150°C and ±(0.2% of reading + 0.4)°C elsewhere within the probe’s rated range. Type K probe tolerances vary by model. Confirm the required calibration points when ordering.

Type K Probes for Liquids, Semi-Solids and General Measurement

These probe options are for the SK-1260. Confirm the connector, sensing-stem dimensions, cable length and temperature limits before ordering a replacement.

SK-S100K — Standard probe

SK-S100WK — Waterproof penetration probe

SK-S101K — General-purpose probe

SK-S102K — High-temperature probe

SK-S103K — Asphalt probe with stainless steel grip

SK-S104K — High-sensitivity probe

SK-S105K — Duplex wire probe

SK-S106K — Asphalt probe with resin grip

SK-S107K — High-temperature Inconel probe

SK-S108K — Compost probe

SK-S109K — Asphalt probe

Type K Probes for Stationary Surfaces

Surface temperature depends on contact quality, surface condition and the sensing head. Choose the head shape to suit the measurement position.

SK-S301K — Stationary surface probe

SK-S302K — Stationary surface probe

SK-S303K — Right-angle surface probe

SK-S304K — Flat-surface attachment probe

SK-S305K — Tilting surface probe

SK-S306K — Point surface probe

SK-S307K — Lower-temperature surface probe

SK-S308K — L-shaped surface probe

Special-Purpose Surface Probes

These designs provide curved-surface, roller and magnetic contact arrangements. Select the head to suit the target shape and movement.

SK-S401K — Curved-surface probe

SK-S402K — Roller surface probe

SK-S403K — Magnetic surface probe

Thermistor Probes

Choose from liquid, penetration, water and air measurement designs. SK-S201T is a thermistor air probe.

SK-S100T — Standard thermistor probe

SK-S101T — Penetration thermistor probe

SK-S101WT — Waterproof penetration thermistor probe

SK-S102T — Water-temperature thermistor probe

SK-S103T — Small-animal rectal-temperature thermistor probe

SK-S201T — Air-temperature thermistor probe

The earlier SK-S107K listing also references a 0 to 1,250°C option with an 8 mm diameter × 1,000 mm sensing stem. Ask us to confirm this configuration separately; it is not the standard 4.8 mm probe specification.

Additional Probe Option

Sato also lists SK-S110K (8080-42), an ultra-thin immersion probe rated from 0 to 200°C, with a 2 mm diameter × 85 mm sensing section and a 3 m Teflon cable. Ask us to confirm suitability for your installation.

Printing Stored Readings

Sato currently lists the DPU-S445 dedicated printer kit, catalogue number 8080-10, for printing readings stored in the SK-1260. The kit includes the required communication cable set, AC adapter and a roll of thermal paper.

The picture below shows the earlier DPU-414 printer from the original Seacom page. It is retained for identification and does not show the current DPU-S445. For an existing printer installation, send the printer and cable details so we can check the appropriate connection.

Selecting Your Thermometer and Probe

• Measurement task: identify whether you need immersion, penetration, air or surface readings.
• Operating range: keep the sensing tip, handle, cable and connector within their respective limits.
• Accuracy: compare the main-unit and probe specifications at your actual temperature.
• Records: decide whether stored readings are sufficient or a dedicated data logger is more appropriate for a longer recording task.
• Accessories: specify the probe, printing requirement, power arrangement and calibration documents with your enquiry.
