BD923 Large Display Commercial Thermometer with Waterproof Probe

Product Overview

The BD923 Big Digit Thermometer is a large display commercial thermometer designed for applications where temperature must be monitored accurately and read from a distance. Its jumbo illuminated red numbers stand 3 inches tall on a 5.5 x 9.5 inch screen — visible from 75 feet or more — making it an ideal remote temperature monitoring solution for warehouses, walk-in coolers, food service operations, labs, and industrial environments.

Built into a rugged aluminum housing, the BD923 is powered by a standard USB wall adapter (included) and can also run on an optional external rechargeable battery for 3 to 5 days of uninterrupted use — ideal for locations where outlet access is limited.

The included immersion waterproof probe monitors liquid or air temperatures from -40°F to 248°F (-40°C to 120°C) with accuracy of +/- 2°F. Custom calibration is available for higher accuracy over a limited range. Probe cord lengths from 18 ft. up to 100 ft. are available — select your length above.

User-settable high and low temperature alarms alert you with an audible beep and a flashing display when temperatures move outside your target range. The alarm resets automatically once the temperature returns to normal — no manual reset needed.

Important Notes:

  • The probe and sensor are waterproof; the display unit is not — protect the display from moisture.
  • Not recommended for direct sunlight or unshaded outdoor use, as this reduces display visibility.
  • Extending the power cord beyond its stock length voids the warranty against power-related issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far away can the BD923 display be read?
The BD923 is designed to be clearly visible from 75 feet or more under normal indoor lighting conditions. Its 3-inch illuminated red numbers are bright enough to monitor from across a warehouse, production floor, or large cooler.

Is the BD923 waterproof?
The immersion probe and sensor are waterproof and can be submerged in liquids. The display unit itself is not waterproof and must be kept dry and protected from moisture at all times.

Can the BD923 run without being plugged in?
Yes. While the BD923 comes with a USB wall adapter for standard operation, an optional external rechargeable battery is available that provides 3 to 5 days of continuous use without being plugged in.

What probe cord lengths are available?
The BD923 comes standard with an 18 ft. probe cord. Extended lengths of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 feet are available and can be selected at the time of purchase.

Can the BD923 be used outdoors?
The BD923 is not recommended for use in direct sunlight or unprotected outdoor environments, as sunlight significantly reduces display visibility. It can be used outdoors when shaded or enclosed in a weatherproof housing.

Does the BD923 have temperature alarms?
Yes. The BD923 features user-settable high and low temperature alarms. When triggered, the unit beeps and the display flashes. The alarm resets automatically when the temperature returns to the normal range — no manual reset is required.

What temperature range does the BD923 cover?
The BD923 measures temperatures from -40°F to 248°F (-40°C to 120°C) with an accuracy of +/- 2°F (+/- 1°C). It can be custom calibrated for higher accuracy over a more limited range.

Can the BD923 be wall mounted?
Yes. The aluminum housing includes wall mounting loops spaced approximately 5 inches apart. The unit can be hung from nails or hooks, or screwed directly into a wall.

What is the warranty on the BD923?
The BD923 comes with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects. The probe also carries a one-year warranty. Tech Instrumentation can service and recalibrate the unit at our facility in Elizabeth, CO.

Can the probe be replaced?
Yes. A replacement probe (model BD923PR) is available. Note that the thermometer will need to be recalibrated after a probe replacement. Tech Instrumentation can perform the replacement and recalibration for you.

Huge Display

We needed a thermometer with a large display that could be easily seen at a distance. We're using it for an outdoor walk-in refrigerator. The unit also has high & low alarms making it even nicer than what we were looking for. Our order arrived very quickly and packaged very good (double boxed). This unit is not weather sealed so we mounted it in a weather sealed electrical box with a tinted door. The display is so large and bright it can easily be seen through the tinted window. After calibrating, the unit is working great.

Perfect for home use!

It's perfect for my home. My old thermometer kept blowing off the side of my garage 30' away. The BD923 Big Digit Thermometer now hangs in the window on the inside of the garage and the probe exits the side of the garage through a hole I drilled. As I look out my home office window, the 3" high red digits are perfectly legible, day and night. The power cord and probe cable are incredibly long and the thermometer displays the outdoor temperature 24 hours a day. Using the calibration method provided on information sheet accompanying the unit, the temperature reading pretty well matches the reading of the outdoor sensor on my front deck which is fed to my living room clock/thermometer. I don't need the alarms so I can't comment on them. But the BD923 Big Digit Thermometer has more than met my needs.

C
Colin

If the temp probe gets damaged can I put a different probe on?
also do you sell just the probe?

Tech Instrumentation

Yes, we have replacement probes. They need to be soldered onto the PCB though so you will need someone that is able to solder electronics.

T
Thomas R.

Does this come with an infrared sensor?
I want to measure my sawdust paraffin mixture which is a solid product. My infrared gun works great but I want the large screen and consistent readings vs having to pull a trigger.

Tech Instrumentation

Unfortunately, an IR sensor is not an option. Only a physical probe which is included.

P
Patrick

What is the probe material made of? We will be using it in saltwater and would need it to be stainless steel.

Tech Instrumentation

The metal bulb is stainless steel.

C
Chris F.

Do you have a probe that can be plumbed into pool/spa piping?

We have a private commercial pool/spa and residents complain the "spa is too cold" We then get a thermometer out and show it is at 100 degrees. Sometimes the gas heater stops working and we don't find out until someone complains.

I saw this and it would be a perfect solution as we have a spot out of the weather where we could mount the display and easily see the spa temp from outside of the pool area.

I had thought of clamping the sensing bulb to the PVC pipe, would not be 100% accurate but close, unless you offer a threaded probe of some kind I could plumb it in.

Thank you,

Tech Instrumentation

While the sensor itself is waterproof, we don't have a threaded connection for it. You should be able to find a thermowell though that would allow you to mount it as you want.

Jermaine J.

How does you calibrate.achine?

Tech Instrumentation

It's highly unlikely that your newer BD923 should require calibration, and if you attempt to calibrate it, you're more likely to have a less accurate reading. That said, if you feel the need to do so, you will find the instructions in the manual, available here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0248/3456/files/BD923_Instruction_Manual_09.14.2023.pdf?v=1711138017

Can the BD923 Digital Display Thermometer be permanently mounted in a three compartment sink.

Tech Instrumentation

Probably not. While the sensor is waterproof, the display unit is not.

A
Allan P.

Do you have this digital thermometer in stock? Difficult to extend the actual probe? Can probe be put into water or need to install dry well? Thank you in advance. Allan

Tech Instrumentation

Yes, it's in stock. We can do extensions here. Some of our customers have extended the probes themselves, but it does void the warranty doing it yourself. Most wire will work - there is nothing special about it. The probe is waterproof so no dry well should be needed under normal circumstances.

E
E

Can I extend the probe cord to 50ft?

Tech Instrumentation

Yes, you can and it should work properly, but please be aware that modifying it yourself does void the warranty.

C
C. W.

Can I use this thermometer at my City Pool. Will the probe withstand the chlorine and other chemicals

Tech Instrumentation

Yes, it may be used at a city pool. Just remember that the cord and sensor are waterproof but the display itself is not and must be protected.

R
Robert A.

Can the thermostat be used outdoor (under cover to protect from rain & snow)?

Tech Instrumentation

It's not recommended unless you can put it inside of a waterproof container.
