Yellow RAPT Pill – Hydrometer & Thermometer (Wifi & Bluetooth)
The RAPT Pill allows true real-time specific gravity and temperature logging and control via wifi/bluetooth integration with the RAPT fermentation chamber (KL15813), RAPT mobile app or RAPT IOT.
The RAPT Pill allows you to instantly read and log the specific gravity and temperature of your fermentation via the RAPT mobile app on your compatible Android smartphone or tablet, Apple iPhone/iPad or via the RAPT IOT hub on your Windows or Mac Computer.
The RAPT Pill has a long battery life and can last 2-5 months between charges when utilising Wifi. If only using Bluetooth the the battery can last 2+ years before needing to be recharged. The RAPT Pill has a USB-C charging port on the circuit board allowing fast charging from any USB-C cable.
How long will the pill last between charges?
60min telemetry frequency – 1.5 years
30min telemetry frequency – 9.5 months
15min telemetry frequency – 5 months
NOTE: This is the default telemetry frequency is 60 min so if you do not change the settings then out of the box the battery should last 1.5years approximately.
*The RAPT Pill is universal and is compatible with most standard carboys, cornelius kegs, stainless steel fermenters and pressurisable fermenters.
Pill Housing Design
The RAPT Pill housing boasts many advantages compared to other wireless hydrometers such as:
Made from strong BPA Free Nylon 12 and Polyketone(POK)
Both the clear Nylon 12 and Polyketone plast are food grade, FDA approved, BPA (and free of other types of bisphenol). These are also plasticiser and phthalate free. They also contain no endocrine distruptors making them a much better choice than polycarbonate that is used in other products. Nylon 12 and POK are also high temperature resistant, chemically resistant and extremly robust.
Greater ergonomics – The shape of the RAPT Pill has been designed for improved usability compared to other wireless hydrometers such that the Pill seperates into two pieces at the midline of the Pill rather than requiring a difficult to remove end cap to be unscrewed.
Sanitary design – The RAPT Pill has no exposed thread and a double o-ring seal which allows for a water-tight seal with reduced risk of infection.
Less susceptible to error – The larger housing of the RAPT Pill compared to other wireless hydrometers means that the gravity logging is less susceptible to error from krausen, hops or CO2 bubbles from fermentation.
Different housing colours are sold seperately on the website allowing customisation of your RAPT Pill. The colours available include:
RAPT Pill – Red Housing
RAPT Pill – Blue Housing
RAPT Pill – Green Housing
RAPT Pill – Yellow Housing
Specifications:
The RAPT Pill is approximately 37mm x 125mm – compact enought to fit almost anywhere!
