Temperature and humidity loggers
February 2018
Temperature Measurement
French supplier, Kimo, has designed a new range of Kistock temperature/humidity data-loggers for use in all applications requiring control – over a specific period or continuously – of ambient conditions for air-conditioning and heating, control of refrigeration chains, monitoring of sanitary networks, manufacturing processes and storage and transport.
Highly accurate, the instruments can record from 12 000 to 100 000 measuring points from up to four external probes (hygrometry, thermocouple K-J-T, NTC, ammeter clamps, 4-20 mA, 0-10 V).
The units can be configured using Kilog software such as starting mode, display, LEDs, setpoint alarms, intervals and recording periods. With the monitoring function on Kilog, the user can choose two different recording intervals, one for values measured between predefined setpoint alarms and one for values measured beyond the setpoint alarms. All defaults occurring during a recording period can be viewed without stopping the measuring process.
To secure the installation, these Kistock data-loggers have an integrated anti-theft system with no padlock.
Once datasets are downloaded – either on PC or via a data collector – they can be processed as graphs or charts to enable merging of several datasheets, dynamic zoom, adding up of calculations functions. In addition to recording functions, Kistock also allows on-demand measurements.
