The Datapaq Furnace Tracker Telemetry System allows you to see in real time what happens to your product during the heat treatment process.

Thermocouples, connected to the product, feed temperature information to a Data Logger. Protected from the heat of the furnace by a specially-engineered Thermal Barrier, the Data Logger transmits the temperature information via Radio Frequency (RF) back to the PC. To ensure integrity of the data, it is also stored on the Logger as it is transmitted. The Datapaq Furnace Telemetry System uses advanced data transmission technology to send and receive information which makes it ideal to use in most continuous and batch furnaces.

Furnace Tracker Telemetry benefits:

• Have instant access to data, speeds up problem solving.
• Assess the affects of changes to furnace settings as the process progresses.
• Carry out in-house Temperature Uniformity Surveys.
• Ideal for development of thermal profiles for new products.
• See precisely what is happening to the product during the heat treatment process.
• Compare actual product temperatures to specification during the process.
• Optimize cycle times.

System features

• Fits most existing Furnace Tracker Thermal Barriers - so easy to retrofit.
• Special high temperature transmitting antenna for optimum performance.
• High performance portable receiver antenna allows positioning for maximum signal strength.
• Signal strength meter built into receiver to give visual indication of best reception.
• Data stored on logger as well as transmitted to ensure integrity of data.
• Two battery options for standard or high temperature operating conditions.
• Operates with Furnace Tracker Insight and Insight Survey software

Using the Furnace Telemetry System for Temperature Uniformity Surveys:

Benefits:

• Do multiple surveys quickly and accurately. Know precisely when to ramp up to the next level.
• Instantaneous COMPLETE survey documentation for traceability with a customized report.
• Minimize human error.
• No lost production while doing surveys.
• Do in-house uniformity surveys at your convenience with minimal expense.

Features:

• Software wizards to help set up survey.
• Survey furnace directly, or apply to separate data file to get calculations.
• Warnings for temperature overshoot.
• Min., Max., Mean, Spread, and Deviation automatically calculated for each survey range at each thermocouple position.
• Advisory screen to show when all thermocouples are within tolerance.
• Thermocouple calibration offsets easily applied to results before or after survey.
• Dedicated user-definable report shows results of all calculations, raw data, and thermocouple calibration offsets.
• Audit trail to verify authenticity of data.

A trial is recommended to ensure optimum operating conditions.
