EQUINOX T-4 WiFi thermometer

EQUINOX T-4 is a WiFi distillation thermometer with four probes and a built-in pressure sensor. You read the temperature on the colour display next to the column or in the phone app. It measures with a resolution of 0.01 °C.

4 detachable probes
0.01 °C resolution
Pressure sensor
5 V (USB) power

New in EQUINOX T-4

Pressure sensor

The built-in sensor shows atmospheric pressure in hPa - on the display and in the app.

Ethanol boiling point correction

The thermometer calculates how much the boiling point of ethanol has changed since it was switched on as the pressure changes. It is easier to tell a change in the weather from a change in the column.

For each probe you can

Set a temperature alarm

Your phone lets you know when the temperature goes over the limit.

Rename it

You see at a glance which probe is where.

Calibrate the reading

So that the reading is as accurate as possible.

Expand the thermometer

Add the power control add-on and the thermometer also regulates the heating elements.

Setup guide

Frequently asked questions

How is EQUINOX T-4 different from T-3?

T-4 has a built-in pressure sensor with ethanol boiling point correction. The four probes, alarms and calibration work as before.

What is the pressure sensor for?

It shows the pressure in hPa and calculates how much the boiling point of ethanol has changed since the thermometer was switched on. This tells you whether a temperature change in the column comes from the weather or from the process.

Which columns and stills does EQUINOX T-4 fit?

It fits columns with UFO, NIXON and Abratek-type heads as well as simple stills. The M8 mounting screw and a pipe clamp make fitting easy.

How many probes does the thermometer have and how long are they?

Four detachable probes come in the box: 2 × 2 m and 2 × 1 m. Probes in other lengths are also available in the shop.

What is the measuring range and accuracy?

The measuring range is -50 to 125 °C, with a resolution of 0.01 °C.

What is included in the price of EQUINOX T-4?

The phone app and software updates are included in the price of the thermometer.

How is the thermometer powered?

With 5 V over USB, so it can also run from a power bank.

Can I set a temperature alarm for each probe?

Yes. For each probe you can set an over-temperature alarm, rename it and calibrate the reading.

Can the thermometer control the heating element power?

Yes. You can extend it with an extra heating power control module and turn it into a complete distillation process controller.

What type of thermometer is best for distilling?

For distilling, the best choice is a digital thermometer with a contact or immersion sensor, for example based on the DS18B20 (accuracy ±0.5 °C between -10 °C and +85 °C). Key requirements are moisture resistance, a range of at least 0-110 °C and continuous logging. A WiFi thermometer lets you track the temperature remotely and record its history, which is useful for processes lasting many hours.

Where does the thermometer go on a still?

The sensor is usually placed in the neck (vapour column), where the vapour passes to the condenser. The temperature at this point indicates the composition of the evaporating mixture. Some set-ups also measure at the condenser outlet. The exact location depends on the design (alembic, column, continuous still); what matters is that the sensor is in direct contact with the vapour or liquid.
