  Want to measure the CO2 level in sauna.  Sauna room temp is about 180F.  Read that the optimal operating range for the Aranet4 is up to 120F and warning that too low of temp can damage sensors, but no warning on too high of temp.  Will it work in 180F for a few minutes?

  Hi!
  
  Make sure the sauna is a dry sauna first as excessive moisture will damage the device too.
  The temperature in a sauna also quite high and might damage the components, I would not recommend using it in a sauna.

  Its a dry sauna.  

  Not planning to leave it there for hours.  Was thinking about testing it for about 5 min

  Has Aranet ever tested it in high temp?  Notice the warning for low temps but nothing for high temps.  Never stress tested the device for high temps?

  The operating range for the CO2 sensor ir <50 °C or ~120 °F. The CO2 sensor might not operate correctly above the limit.
