Thermochron Reader

Temperature monitoring system for transport and storage of perishable goods

Features

The system uses the small iButton Thermochron Data loggers.  They are set up to log, possibly with alarm limits using the communications program in the software and USB interface to the computer.  The Thermochrons are then positioned in the storage area in wall mounted fobs or mounted in coloured keytag fobs packed with goods. When the files are wanted, the user can walk up to the Thermochrons and gather their files by touching them with the TempTec-R reader. 

Stores many files

  • DS1921 Thermochrons: Reader can store files from 1200 loggers
  • DS1922 & DS1923 loggers: Reader can store files from 400 loggers

Display

  • Shows details of any set alarms in the Thermochron

  • Shows Time & Date

Grace Period for Alarms

  • Logger will continue to log but not trigger alarm
  • Grace period can be set to cover loading/unloading

Security

  • Temp-Tec-R Reader cannot interfere with the setup of the logging.
  • The logging is undisturbed regardless of how many times it has been checked.

The Reader clearly shows what is happening during downloading. A yellow light shows download in progress. Succesful download without alarm is shown by a green light. Successful download with alarm in the logger file is shown by a red light. The TempTec-R will only display triggered alarm, if it has been registrered during the current readings.

When a Temp-Tec-R reader is  downloaded to the PC, the files are sorted, according to date and time, comments lines, alarms and serial numbers. These files can be  viewed as graphs or lists, be saved and  exported to spreadsheets or emailed.

TempTec System is equally suited to monitor storage temperatures. The loggers are set up to wrap around (logging every 5 minutes for weekly or every 30 minutes for monthly reading). The placement of each logger may be entered in the comment fields. The loggers may then be wall mounted as decided.

The TempTec-R Reader is sturdy and water tight to IP68.
