Single-channel temperature logger is housed in a 16mm diameter stainless steel container, yet it measures and records up to 2048 time stamped temperature recordings.
Low cost logger monitors temperature and humidity
Temperature and relative humidity logger is a self-contained electronic recording device that measures and records changes in temperature and relative humidity.
- in the hardware-based systems, the alarm signal comes from the SmartReader Plus 12-bit data logger's Alarm Dial Out feature.
The SRP data logger is capable of being connected via its communication jack to a modem and programmed with a pager number to dial if an alarm condition exists.
Alarm Module.
This connects to the SRP data logger's communication jack.
It is designed to accept the Alarm Dial Out signal from the data logger and to produce an audible alarm and flashing light as well as trip an internal relay which can be used to enable or energise an external circuit (2 amps max) such as a siren, light or some other device.
Real Time Monitor Software generates alarms based on the real time readings it sees independent of the Alarm Dial Out feature in the SRP logger.
This software enables the user to have alarms generated by any, ACR unit purely based on the real time readings produced from the loggers.
The alarms are purely software related and require the loggers to be connected to the computer and running in real time.
When an alarm condition is encountered, the Real Time Monitor software can display the condition on the computer screen, beep, play a wave file or invoke an external program to start running.
(The external program is to be supplied or written by the user.
* TalkBack Software - this automatically downloads logged information and responds to alarms when using the 12-bit SRP series loggers.
The ACR TalkBack program can accept a call from the SRP logger in this mode as well if it is running on a computer and the Alarm Dial Out on the SRP logger is set to call the computer modem (or is directly connected to the computer coms port).
The TalkBack software can display the condition on the computer screen (flash message), beep, play a wave file or invoke an external program to start running.
(The external program is to be supplied or written by the user.
It is not ACR generated software.
Real Time Graphing is as the data logger records information.
Networking and Remote Communications facilities exist for communication with single or multiple data loggers over a modem.
Easy and user intuitive facilities make for easy data logging using the ACR range of self-powered, palm sized instruments that can measure and record temperature, relative humidity, electric current, pressure, process signals, pulse frequency, power quality and more.
