Portable
data logger casts a watchful eye over temperature-sensitive products
such as food, pharmaceuticals and blood products during transportation
or processing
Data
logging specialist Signatrol is introducing the latest version of
its successful SL150 series of self-contained temperature data logging
tags.
The SL151T is specifically designed to monitor temperature sensitive
products such as food, pharmaceuticals and blood products during
transportation or processing. The robust tag, which carries an unconditional
12 month warranty, is manufactured from food grade polystyrene.
The unit is fully portable and uses a patented inductive data transfer
technology for set up and fast down-loading of data. As a result,
there are no external plugs or sockets to cause reliability problems
or harbour bacteria.
With food safety and quality high on the public agenda, the SL151T
is designed to travel directly with food and provides a detailed
time and date temperature profile over a measurement range from-30°C
to +60°C. These data can then be used to highlight any problems
which may have occurred throughout a specific journey or process.
A convenient through-hole allows the tags to be security-sealed
to a specific consignment.
The tags are ideal for multiple journey routines where products
are transported in several stages and by different modes of transport.
The data loggers are housed in fully IP68 sealed, crevice free,
robust food grade polystyrene tags only 10mm thick and powered by
long-life internal batteries.
The SL151T can be set to record at intervals from 30 seconds to
100 hours. With an internal capacity of 16000 readings, the unit
can keep recording for more than four years! The delayed start feature
can be set to coincide with a particular travel schedule.
Comprehensive and user friendly Windows software provides a simple
set-up procedure and the units can be programmed with the manifest
details such as vehicle number, driver, destination, ship name,
consignment number and container number. The manifest is split into
two blocks with different levels of access.
The Master level has full password security in line with FDA requirements
and allows the owner of the tag to set up and access data. The Slave
level allows the user limited access to non-critical information
and functionality. Stored data are easily downloaded via the base
unit to a PC or laptop and can be displayed graphically or saved
in a standard spread sheet format. Two LEDs indicate the status
of the unit during and after logging. A red light indicates that
the unit has seen temperature excursions outside the preset limits
for a preset time interval, while the green light indicates that
no problems have been encountered. Data are stored in such a way
that information cannot subsequently be altered to disguise what
actually happened.
