Extreme Temperature Monitoring Now Available Using Small, Battery-operated Data Loggers

Affordable Temperature Loggers Accept J, K or T Thermocouples -

(Bourne, MA) If you have ever had to monitor extreme hot and cold temperatures and cannot physically be there, Onset Computer has the answer for you. Onset's HOBO® Thermocouple data loggers automatically store data where and as you need it, and are suitable for monitoring ovens, kilns, furnaces, molding machines, engines, cooking, cold shipments, and cryogenics -- anywhere extreme temperatures are of concern. The Thermocouple data loggers measure temperature with three industry-standard thermocouples, and sell for less than $100 each. Any Type J, K or T thermocouple probes with standard subminiature connectors can be plugged directly into the loggers. Each logger includes cold-junction compensation, and two measurement ranges for optimal resolution and accuracy. Internal batteries eliminate the need for external power. Over
32,000 time-stamped readings can be stored to the loggers nonvolatile memory which preserves the data even if the battery needs replacing. The data is read out to a PC with BoxCar®or BoxCar Pro software, and can be graphed, analyzed or exported.

Wide Range of Applications -
There are three models in the HOBO Thermocouple Family to cover a wide range of temperatures and applications. The Type J model works with Type J thermocouples to measure from 0°C to 750°C (32°F to 1382°F). Likewise, the Type K model measures from 0°C to 1250°C (32°F to 2282°F), and the Type T model measures from -200°C to 180°C (-328°F to 356°F). Thermocouple probes are useful for temperature measurements because of their small size, ruggedness, fast response, flexible mounting and low cost.

Optional HOBO Shuttle Simplifies Data Retrieval -
For convenience, the optional pocket-sized HOBO Shuttle uses a single button to offload and restart HOBO loggers where they are deployed. The reusable HOBO Shuttle is then brought back to a PC where the
data is offloaded, analyzed, and stored. Capacity is 468K measurements, which is enough for 13 full HOBO Thermocouple loggers. Other features include a weatherproof case and user-replaceable batteries that last one year.

Additional HOBO Features -
The HOBO Thermocouple Family loggers include an internal temperature sensor which can be used to record ambient temperatures. The loggers sampling rate is user-selectable from 1/2 second up to 9 hours. The compact HOBO logger measures just 2.4" x 1.9" x 0.8" (60 x 48 x 19 mm).
