6 times faster. Panther contains a heated thermistor bead that transmits heat into the sensing chamber. On the other side of the sensing chamber there is a block of material that remains at a constant temperature helping to stabilize the signal. As air passes through the detector chamber a constant amount of heat passes from the bead to the air.
Getting Started Charging your Panther Instrument To charge your Panther instrument, use a USB A to Type C Charger Cable and connect it to the back of the Panther device. The Panther instrument will indicate its charging by showing the following symbol at the top right of the home screen.
