The Datapaq Oven Tracker RadioPaq system utilises the latest radio frequency technology to allow transmission of temperature data from a Data Logger in real time. As the system travels through the oven process data can be viewed, analyzed and reported instantaneously. By running the Oven Tracker Insight software on your PC see product temperature information as it happens.
 

Faster Oven Profiling

  • Compare real time data with predefined process and cure criteria before the system has even left the oven.
  • Repeat profile runs, without having to open the Barrier or download data.

Instant Decision Making

  • Identify the exact moment the cure criteria such as - Time at Temperature - is achieved.
  • See immediately when problems occur, and use the information to correct them.
  • Use live data to speed up oven optimisation/balancing by viewing the effect of parameter changes instantaneously.

Guaranteed Data Confidence

  • Automatic backup of data in logger, in addition to transmitted data received by PC.
  • Auto transmission of temperature data three times minimising interference effects and so loss of data in the most hostile of environments.
  • User selectable transmission frequencies providing optimum Radio signal quality.
  • Receiver signal strength meter and onboard diagnostic software make system tuning quick and efficient.
  • Full graph, analysis and reporting options for traceability purposes (ISO9000/QS9000).

 

 

A System fit for purpose

  • Licence exempt RF transmitter technology provided with full approval to the EN300 220-1 international radio communications standard.
  • High-grade stainless steel barrier provides complete protection even when process problems occur, or multiple profile runs are required.
  • Custom designed Datapaq Oven Tracker Insight analysis software - powerful yet easy to use.

Modular System Design

  • Provided as standard with conventional Data Logging capability and a choice of Radio or Hardwired Telemetry (via comms cable).
  • Compatible with a range of thermal barriers including TB0021; TB5001; TB4005.

Thermocouples – improved design

Thermocouple probes are an essential part of a Datapaq Oven Tracker system. They are placed at critical points on the product to give a clear profile of the temperature throughout the process.

All Datapaq probes conform to the highest standards (ANSI MC 96.1 Special Limits of Error) and provide the most accurate data possible. Improved probe cables make them durable and flexible. The quad-wrapped, 10 strand 36 AWG (0.125mm), PTFE and metal braid coated probe cables last significantly longer than previous designs.

The probe is further improved by a stronger 'crimped' plug/cable attachment and a circular cable cross section to reduce kinking and twisting. The color of the cable conforms to the IEC584 color standard for Type K thermocouples - green.

No one makes a more robust probe.

NEW ‘MicroMag’... goes where no probe has gone before

MicroMag, Datapaqs latest innovation in surface and air magnetic thermocouples, makes it even easier to collate and analyse temperature profile data than ever before.

With a 17mm (0.7”) state of the art Samarium Cobalt magnet, low thermal mass and an easy to handle aluminum knob, the MicroMag can be quickly and efficiently attached to ferrous substrates. Despite its compact size, the magnet strength guarantees secure attachment at the highest temperatures experienced within the paint and powder coating industry
