What This Model Is For
The FT001 Portable Heat Meter measures temperature from -10 to 60 degrees C and humidity from 20 to 99 percent RH, then calculates heat index and dew point in real time. It displays heat stroke risk in four levels—Cautious, Extreme Cautious, Danger, and Extreme Danger—each with a distinct color area. The unit includes a time clock, date, and calibration adjustment for temperature and humidity, and is designed for handheld use with a 1m lanyard. It runs on two AAA batteries and fits in a pocket or on a belt.
- Real-time heat index and dew point calculation for immediate risk assessment
- Four-level heat stroke alert with color-coded zones to guide action
- Calibration adjustment for temperature and humidity to maintain accuracy
- Compact size and lanyard allow for easy handheld or belt carry
- Battery powered with two AAA cells, no wall outlet needed

- Moulded plastic housing for the main body
- Integrated lanyard loop with a 1m cord
- Battery compartment sized for 2 x AAA cells
How It Is Made
Main circuit board is populated and soldered on the in-house assembly line
Sensors are tested during sub-assembly for response and stability
Housing is sealed and checked on rainfall and waterproof test equipment
Every unit is ageing tested before it leaves the factory
Quality Control
- Rainfall and waterproof testing on the assembled unit
- Constant temperature and humidity chamber runs to verify performance across -10 to 60 degrees C
- Vibration testing to simulate transport and field use
- Smog ageing to check the housing and seals
- Final ageing test on every unit before packing
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging available
- Console pairing to a customer's existing UCTECH-protocol display
- Alternative battery configurations on request
- Manual and quick start guide in the destination language
Compared With the Alternatives
vs Fixed wall-mounted heat index monitors
Portable design allows use across multiple sites; no installation needed
vs Smartphone apps with weather data
Direct measurement of local conditions without relying on network or forecast
vs Basic thermometers without heat index
Built-in risk alert system provides actionable feedback, not just numbers
Use Guide
- Use the unit in open air, away from direct sunlight or heat sources for accurate readings
- Calibrate temperature and humidity before first use or if readings drift
- Replace batteries when the low power indicator appears
- Wipe the sensor area with a dry cloth if it becomes dirty
- Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent moisture damage
FT001 Portable Heat Meter Questions
What is the real accuracy of the temperature and humidity readings
Temperature: plus or minus 1 degree C; Humidity: plus or minus 5 percent across the 20 to 99 percent RH range.
How long do the batteries last
Battery life depends on usage, but two AAA cells typically last several months under normal use.
Can I calibrate the device myself
Yes. The unit has a calibration adjustment mode for both temperature and humidity.
Is it waterproof
The housing is weather sealed and tested for rainfall and waterproofing, but it is not designed for submersion.
What is the lead time and minimum order
Tell us the quantity and target ship date and we will confirm both by email. Lead time depends on whether own-label printing and packaging are involved.
Which certifications does it carry
TBC. Ask us for the current certificate set for your destination market before you place the order.
