Heating system check
May 2011
Temperature Measurement
The new Afriso HC-10 evaluation instrument is used to determine the efficiency of heating systems (surface and ventilation losses) as perEN 15378 and to measure vacuum in installation rooms of combustion systems (4 Pascal measurement). The evaluation instrument is an ergonomically designed handheld device with a robust protective casing operated via a touch pad with a special recess for easy scrolling.
The technology allows individual adjustment of the touch sensitivity and speed and colour-coded menus ensure easy and intuitive operation. A high resolution display is provided for excellent readability of the measured values.
HC-10 receives the values from the heating check module HC-M via Bluetooth. The module consists of the EP-Check, a straight Pitot tube SR-10 (with thermocouple) and a surface sensor. The EP-Check is equipped with a differential pressure sensor and a temperature connector socket.
On the basis of the measured values received, the HC-10 evaluation instrument automatically performs the calculations of the evaluation points. A MicroSD card allows for system-independent data storage. The measured data can optionally be transferred to a PC and the evaluation point calculated by means of the evaluation software.
If results are to be documented directly on site, the optional compact thermal printer can be used. Connection is wireless therefore no cables are required.
