Humidity and temperature recorders
February 2009
Temperature Measurement
Impact Measurement Solutions has extended its low-cost data logging solutions with the RHTemp2000 humidity and temperature data logger with LCD display.
This NIST traceable device has user-selectable measurement units, programmable start and stop times and displays current humidity and temperature readings. The large screen provides convenient access to the minimum, maximum and average statistics, as well as displaying battery level, external power and sampling and recording status. An easy to use front panel key pad offers a quick and efficient way to change settings.
The RHTemp2000 is perfect for use in medical/pharmaceutical applications, warehouse monitoring, HVAC and environmental studies.
The device holds 131,071 readings per channel, and the non-volatile memory will retain recorded data should the battery become discharged. The rugged, anodised aluminium enclosure can be wall mounted for easy access and an optional AC power adaptor is available.
Also in the range is the RHTemp1000, a battery powered, humidity and temperature recorder. It can measure and record 21 845 readings per channel and is available in an aluminium or stainless steel enclosure. The rugged exterior enables this device to be used in the harshest of environments.
Another introduction is the MicroRHTemp miniature humidity and temperature recorder that is ideal for measuring and recording data in small spaces. The device is small enough to fit inside most pill containers and beverage bottles, and the stainless steel enclosure has built in LED alarm indicators to alert users when temperature limits have been exceeded.
