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

Thermocouples, placed within the ware, feed temperature information back to the Data Logger which sits directly beneath the kiln car. Protected from the high temperatures beneath the car by a specially engineered Thermal Barrier, the Data Logger transmits the temperature information via Radio Frequency (RF) back to the PC. To ensure the integrity of the data, it is also stored on the Logger at the same time as it is transmitted. The Datapaq Telemetry System uses advanced radio data transmission technology to send and receive information which makes it ideal to use in most tunnel kilns.

Kiln Tracker Telemetry benefits:

• Adjust kiln settings on problem ware while the batch is still in the tunnel kiln.
• See precisely what is happening to the product during the firing process.
• Have instant access to data, vital for quick problem solving.
• Assess the effects of changes to kiln settings as the process progresses.
• Ideal for development of thermal profiles for new products.
• Compare actual product temperatures to specification during the process.
• Optimize cycle times.

System features

• Fits most existing Phased Evaporation Kiln Tracker Thermal Barriers - so easy to retrofit.
• Logger and transmitter able to operate at high ambient temperatures (up to 110°C/230°F) with signal drift compensation.
• Two types of transmitting antenna to suit thermal barrier loading position.
• High performance portable receiver antenna allows positioning for maximum signal strength.
• UGEF array receiver kit also available for permanent siting along the side of the kiln.
• Signal strength meter built into receiver to give visual indication of best reception.
• Data integrity assured by storage on the logger as well as transmission to PC
• Operates with Kiln Tracker Insight software

A trial is recommended to ensure optimum operating conditions.
