Can I use this weather station in a refrigerator to monitor the storage temperature of medications?

Question

Accepted Answer

The TER-100 is not designed to operate in a refrigerator. Steren weather stations like the TER-100 are standard household devices with limited operating temperature ranges (typically 0-50°C). The interior of a refrigerator exposes the device to extremely high humidity and significant condensation that may damage the electronic components.

Technical reasons:

Excessive humidity that can cause short circuits
Condensation on sensors and circuit boards
Temperatures potentially outside the normal operating range
Risk of corrosion of electrical contacts

To monitor the temperature of a medication storage area, prefer a specialized and waterproof thermal sensor designed for humid environments, or place the TER-100 nearby (door) with a dedicated sensor inside.
