Taylor 5253T Infrared Thermometer

The Taylor 5253T infrared thermometer measures indoor temperature and humidity every 10 seconds with a clear LCD that also shows time and date. A comfort indicator displays DRY, COMFORT or WET levels so occupants can adjust humidifiers or dehumidifiers. It is designed for bedrooms, living rooms, offices, nurseries, greenhouses and wine cellars where quick climate awareness is useful.

Thermals noise and power draw

The unit operates passively with no fan, so it produces no audible noise while updating readings every 10 seconds. Two CR2032 batteries power the monitor for up to 12 months of continuous use. Operating range spans 14.2 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing placement in garages, greenhouses or wine cellars without external power.

Bundled accessories and software

A spare CR2032 battery, an adhesive metal pad and a user manual are included in the package. The adhesive pad and a built-in magnet let the thermometer attach to refrigerators, walls or metal surfaces, while the tabletop stand supports desk or shelf placement. A calibration feature helps maintain accuracy over the battery life.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Taylor 5253T on a wall and which step is often missed?

Peel the backing off the supplied adhesive metal pad, stick it to the chosen surface, then press the unit onto the magnet; the step people skip is cleaning the wall first so the pad actually bonds.

What replacement will the Taylor 5253T need and when?

Two CR2032 batteries power the unit for 8 to 12 months; when the display dims or readings lag, swap in the spare cells included in the box.

At what temperature does the Taylor 5253T stop giving reliable readings?

The specified operating range ends at 140 °F; beyond that the sensor is outside its rated limits and accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
