Data logging helps improve food quality
and safety
The Signatrol SL700 powerful and flexible, fully self-contained portable data loggers have up to eight channels, ideal for monitoring and recording parameters in food manufacturing and storage
Up to seven external sensors can be connected in addition to the internal temperature sensor to record humidity, pressure, voltage, current and pulse signals For temperature measurement, the internal cold junction sensor can be complemented by external thermocouple and RTD sensors

Tests on eight temperature transmitter heads
Baxter Healthcare subject their temperature sensors to the same test regime as their products: their 'Total Confidence' now applies to Status Instruments head mounted transmitters.
Simple digital temperature transmitters
Status Instruments are introducing the thermocouple version of their unique and highly successful SEM203 series of low cost, push-button programmable, temperature transmitters
Sampling rates from 25 per second up to once every five days can be set and the units can be configured either on a 'fill then stop' or 'first in first out' basis.
Programming and data analysis is carried out quickly and effectively using the proprietary Windows software.
Data can be down loaded and either saved to disc or analysed immediately on screen.
Information is displayed in tabular or graphical format with full reporting facilities.
Data can also be incorporated into other spread-sheet packages.
Up to ten SL700 units can be networked together and accessed via modem link.
The flexibility of the SL700 can be radically extended by the use of the Signatrol thermal barrier boxes, which allow the loggers to operate at temperatures up to 350C.
The loggers are kept insulated and sealed inside the stainless steel barrier box while sensors measure the external temperature.
This arrangement is ideal for oven temperature profiling to provide documentary evidence that products are reaching and maintaining the required cooking temperatures.
The barriers can travel through the oven with the food, thus providing meaningful and accurate temperature data.
The data can also be used to optimise cooking times thus maximising throughput and minimising energy usage.
The barrier units are equally suited to use in chillers, spiral freezers and blast freezers.
The SL700 range is just part of the extensive Signatrol range of standard and bespoke data loggers and recorders.
