   Weight: EC700: 55gr.


The MicroLog continuously displays its measurements.

It can also display the max. and min. values for a user selected time interval.

The user can also select an alarm level, and when it is crossed, the display will start flashing.

Using the HP-portable printer you can get a hard copy of data (in the desired time or date range) instantly via the infra red port on the front of the MicroLog.

Whether your product is vegetables or medical supplies, ice cream or industrial chemicals.
Whether you need to transport your product by air, land or sea. Whether your product travels for hours or weeks, the MicroLog device will ensure your product is transported in the proper conditions.

When your transport reaches it's destination, download the collected data to the MicroLab program for further viewing and analysis, or export it to your favorite spreadsheet. Save the data and keep it for further reference.

The logger starts sampling and logging on receipt of the setup command from the computer.
Sensor data is displayed alternately, with external sensor reading displayed with "EXT".    "- -" indicates storing data.
Timer Run: starts recording at preset time.

Connection method for the alarm outputs: the cradle actually has “open collector” type outputs, rather than actual relay switches. The open collector output can be connected to a small relay to provide a dry contact, or it may be able to be wired directly to your security system if it can handle an open collector or DC voltage type of input. It may be necessary to have a small resistor wired in as well, if the security system requires a voltage on/off signal.

The MicroLog cradle has 2 “keyhole” type holes on the back for hooks/screws. These are side by side, spaced 50mm apart.
It also has a small stand that folds out from the back of the cradle near the bottom, so it can sit on a shelf if required.

Software:
MicroLab for Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98/2000/XP compatible

Calibration

The newer models ML-EC700, EC701 and EC750 allow calibration adjustments to be done in the loggers themselves.

FO-11199 Calibration certificate (Non-stock item has to be ordered at the time of a MicroLog order) $40.00+GST      11/11

MicroLog Calibration, NATA traceable, Temperature only, 2 points:   $POA

MicroLog Calibration, NATA traceable, Temperature 2 points, & humidity 2 points: $POA

Older models, now discontinued, ML-EC600 or ML-EC650 do not have internal calibration, rather you can enter the calibration adjustment in the MicroLab PC software. This means that if the logger itself is out of calibration, the LCD display of temp and humidity on the logger may not be correct. However the measurements downloaded to the PC will be corrected according to the calibration offset that you set in the PC software.
The password for the software calibration dialog is mentioned in the online help: it is 1234.

Calibration Certificate done locally, 2 point both temp. & humidity, NATA traceable: approx. $190+GST

MicroLog Plus  Wireless Data Logger
MicroLogPlus - has been phased out

MicroLogPlus is replaced by the Datanet Wireless Logger system - see next item above.

  Testimonial from Canberra University:
The University of Canberra purchased thirty two (32) MicroLogPlus to monitor the temperature in three (3) cold rooms, eight (8) -80°C temperature freezers, and twenty one ( 21) -30°C, all containing valuable research and reference material.
Initial concerns about the possibility of wireless transmission across four floors and two wings of a steel and concrete slab building proved unfounded.
By careful placement of two repeater units, the MicroLogPlus successfully monitors the temperatures 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. We have links the monitoring system to our Duty Officers mobile phone and in the last 12 months have had early warning of two cold room failures. We estimate this has saved us about $25,000 in replacement of damaged reagents and other materials.

 


Wireless Datalogger saves time and money

Old type dataloggers that requires manual download via cable to a computer are now being superseded by a new generation of wireless dataloggers. The wireless datalogger sends real-time data by radio frequency (RF) directly to your computer and can even contact you by email or send SMS to your mobile phone when the monitored produce set-limits are breached

The easiest way to manage the temperature and comply with HCCAP and food safety requirement is by using the MicroLogPlus the new generation of license free wireless dataloggers made by Fourier Systems.

Customers demand more mobile and automated solutions. Currently, datalogger users have to physically retrieve the datalogger from the location, bring it to the office, connect the communication cable or docking device and manually download the data for analysis and record storage. This is time consuming and requires technical knowledge. In addition, alarm set points in many cases, were missed and breached information arrives too late to act upon.

The MicroLogPlus system is so flexible the same instrument can be used to monitor temperature and relative humidity of the environment, either in a fixed installation such as produce bins, refrigerated rooms, and greenhouses or as a mobile system in refrigerated containers and trucks.
MicroLogPlus enables wireless communication with up to 200 MicroLog devices at the same time and automatically delivers real-time data from the built-in temperature and humidity sensors and from optional external sensors such as pH, light, temperature, voltage and current, directly to your PC. The automated transmission radius is up to a distance of 300 to 400 meters line-of-site.
The complete MicroLogPlus system is made up of the MicroLog data logger device, the cradle that the MicroLog is mounted on, a small receiver that is placed on the PC, and the user-friendly software that allows for convenient central management.

Wireless communication is the most cost effective solution for monitoring multiple loggers on a single computer, thus eliminating the need to download data from each unit manually, making the MicroLogPlus ideal for the ongoing data logging needs of supermarkets, food transport, storage, air conditioning and ventilation, clean rooms and warehouses.

When the MicroLogPlus system is used in transportation and the routine of the truck is known, the user can set the logger to add the Daily Download feature which sets the logger to transmit all the accumulated data in a specific time of the day when the truck arrives back within reception distance of the receiver. In cases when the truck routine is not known all the data can be transmitted with a press of the button directly from the parking lot to the PC.

HACCP

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a systematic preventive approach to food safety and pharmaceutical safety that addresses physical, chemical, and biological hazards as a means of prevention rather than finished product inspection.

For details see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HACCP

HACCAP - Home and Community Care Accreditation Process

There is no such thing as HACCAP accreditation or approval for specific equipment.
If applicable, please check the HACCAP manual to see what specifications are appropriate for your application.
