Accessories enhance data logger applications
Signatrol provides a wide range of accessories and common platform software that extend the capabilities of its data loggers.
Portable data loggers come of age
Portable data loggers have developed rapidly over the past decade, especially as the requirement for "on-demand data" increases, says Signatrol MD Brian Turner.
For temperature measurement, the internal cold junction sensor can be complemented by external thermocouple and RTD sensors.
Up to ten SL700 units can be networked together and accessed via modem link.
Sampling rates from 25 per second up to five days can be set and the units can be configured either on a 'fill then stop' or 'first in first out' basis.
Programming and data analysis is carried out quickly and effectively using the proprietary Windows software.
Data can be down loaded and either saved to disk or analysed immediately on screen.
Information is displayed in tabular or graphical format with full reporting facilities.
Data can also be incorporated into other spread sheet packages.
The flexibility of the SL700 can be radically extended by the use of Signatrol's thermal barrier boxes, which allow the loggers to operate at temperatures up to 350C.
The loggers are kept insulated and sealed inside the barrier's stainless steel box while sensors measure the external temperature.
This arrangement is ideal for oven temperature profiling to provide documentary evidence that products are reaching and maintaining the required cooking temperatures.
The barriers can travel through the oven with the food, thus providing meaningful and accurate temperature data.
The data can also be used to optimise cooking times thus maximising throughput and minimising energy usage The barrier units are equally suited to use in chillers, spiral freezers and blast freezers.
The SL700 range is just part of Signatrol's extensive range of standard and bespoke data loggers and recorders.
Signatrol is the dedicated data logging division of Status Instruments.
