ThermaViewer™ Temperature Monitoring System Specs

Description:

The ThermaViewer is a carefully engineered temperature only or temperature/RH recorder, which displays days, weeks and months of temperatures on its large LCD panel display.  The encrypted temperatures can be downloaded (typically once every few months), to a computer with the TView program for archiving or printing.  Archived data can be stored to disk and examined in graphic or tabular form..  It is constructed of high-impact materials to last for years.

Details:

The ThermaViewer stores 80,000 data samples per channel, which means that it will store ten months of data for each of the four channels (2-temp & 2 RH) if data is recorded every ten minutes. Although the ThermaViewer can store and display temperature from absolute zero to thousands of degrees, the actual temperatures collected depends on the sensors being used. 

sensors with accuracy up to ± 0.3°C, suitable for monitoring refrigerators, freezers, super cold freezers, incubators, computer rooms, laboratories, etc are available.

A password-protected menu is used to set system and display parameters such as high and low temperatures, sampling intervals, display interval and alarm/relay levels.  Since the menu system is password protected the ThermaViewer can be placed in high traffic areas so that every staff member can be part of your quality control process.

The ThermaViewer is powered by a 12vac/dc power adapter with a 9vdc battery backup. It enters battery mode where the display 'sleeps' if power is interrupted.   While the display is asleep, the sensors continue to collect temperatures for several days.  In the event that power is not restored before the 9vdc battery is depleted, the stored data will still be retained for awhile, although the unit will not collect new data. Once power is restored, the display wakes up.

ThermaViewer Display:

The Liquid Crystal Display is a black & white, non-backlit, graphic display, controlled by a microprocessor which displays 180 columns of temperature data at all times.  This means that three hours of data is displayed if data is being recorded once a minute, or thirty hours of data is displayed if data is being recorded once every ten minutes.

It is possible to view more than 180 temperatures on the display at one time. Each time the 'zoom out' button is pressed, the number of temperatures displayed doubles.  This unique feature makes it possible to display over 23,000 temperatures on the LCD at one time.  While in a zoomed-out mode a solid black vertical data bar (High-Low Bar or HL Bar) is drawn in each column showing temperature.  The top of the data bar is the high temperature for the interval and the bottom end of the bar shows the low temperature.  This feature works like the stock market charts which show months of data with daily high and low prices graphed in each column.

To view previous temperatures, the user scrolls backwards using the 'left arrow button'.  Continuing to scroll beyond the left margin of the LCD will cause additional data to scroll into view. This makes it possible to see months of data in great detail a few days or hours at a time.

The bottom two rows of the display are used for system-data showing the scale for both row and column values as well as the current temperature, date, and time.
