What This Model Is For
The FT016TH is a wireless thermo-hygrometer sensor that measures outdoor temperature from -40 to +60 degrees C and humidity from 10 to 99 percent RH, transmitting readings every 16 seconds over a 433MHz link to a console up to 100m away in open air. It supports up to eight channels, so multiple sensors can operate on the same system without interference. The unit runs on two AAA batteries and shares the same housing and protocol family as other UCTECH sensors, enabling seamless integration into existing weather or environmental monitoring systems.
- Measures temperature and humidity in one unit, reducing the need for separate sensors
- 100m transmission range in open air, covering most residential and light industrial sites
- Supports up to eight channels, allowing multiple sensors on a single console
- Uses standard AAA batteries, easy to source and replace
- Shares the UCTECH 433MHz protocol, so it works with existing consoles and systems
Where It Is Used
- Home and garden weather stations sold under a distributor’s own brand
- Greenhouse and nursery monitoring where humidity and temperature affect plant growth
- HVAC and building services systems needing indoor-outdoor environmental data
- Cold chain monitoring for storage rooms and transport containers
- Agricultural sheds and barns where moisture levels affect livestock and feed
Who It Is For
- Consumer electronics brands adding environmental sensing to an existing weather station line
- Distributors replacing a sensor that failed after one season due to poor battery life or RF dropouts
- Agricultural integrators bundling sensors with climate control systems
- Building services engineers adding environmental monitoring to a new or retrofit project
- Cold chain logistics providers needing a battery-powered sensor for short-term monitoring
Problems It Solves
- Sensors that fail after one winter due to poor battery performance or weak RF links
- Systems that cannot support more than one sensor per console, limiting site coverage
- Environmental data that is delayed or averaged due to long transmission intervals
- Inconsistent humidity readings that drift outside the expected range
- Lack of a shared protocol between sensors and consoles, requiring custom integration
Technical Features
- Outdoor temperature sensing from -40 to +60 degrees C with ±1 degree C accuracy
- Humidity sensing from 10 to 99 percent RH with ±5 percent accuracy
- 433MHz one-way transmission with 100m range in open air and around 30m under most conditions
- Transmission interval of 16 seconds, ensuring timely updates without averaging
- Supports up to eight channels on a single console, enabling multi-point monitoring
- Battery-powered with two AAA 1.5V alkaline or lithium cells
- Integrated housing with a compact design suitable for wall or mast mounting

Materials and Construction
- Moulded plastic housing for the sensor body
- Battery compartment sized for 2 x AAA cells
- Integrated antenna for 433MHz transmission
How It Is Made
Sensor sub-assemblies are populated and soldered on our own assembly line
Housings are 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 covering the -40 to +60 degrees C claim
- Vibration testing to reproduce transport and mounting loading
- Smog ageing to check the housing and seals
- Final ageing test on every unit before packing
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging
- 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 Separate temperature and humidity sensors
One unit reduces mounting hardware and wiring, but limits the ability to place sensors apart if needed
vs Wired sensors such as the FT019T
No cable run required, but range is limited to 100m and power is battery-only
vs LoRa sensors in our FT0310 and FT0832 range
433MHz is lower cost and sufficient for a single site; LoRa is better for long-range or multi-site deployments
Use Guide
- Mount the sensor in a shaded, ventilated location to avoid solar heating of the sensor body
- Ensure the sensor is at least 1m above ground and clear of obstructions
- Use lithium cells in cold climates to maintain performance below freezing
- Pair the sensor with the console before mounting to confirm channel assignment
- Check the battery level and clear any debris from the sensor face every season
FT016TH Thermo-Hygrometer Sensor Questions
What is the real range between the sensor and the console
100m in open air. Through walls, foliage, or a roof, plan for around 30m, which covers most homes and small buildings.
How often does it update
Every 16 seconds, which ensures readings are current without being overly frequent.
Can it work with a console we already sell
If that console uses the UCTECH 433MHz protocol, yes. Send us the model and we will confirm before you order.
How many sensors can run on one console
Up to eight sensors can operate on a single console, each on a separate channel.
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.
