RedLab-5201 8-Ch Thermocouple Logger


Description

 

The RedLab-5201 is a temperature logger that provides 8 thermocouple temperature inputs. Temperature measurements can be stored onto a 128MB Compact Flash card (included with hardware). The data can then be read and downloaded either by removing the CF card and inserting it into a CF reader, or by connecting the device up to a PC via the USB port. The RedLab-5201 also has 8 digital outputs with High/low alarms.

See RedLab-5203 for thermcouple and RTD/thermistor Version >>

RedLab-TC

 

The RedLab 5201 is a USB 2.0 full-speed, thermocouple input device that is supported under popular Microsoft Windows operating systems. The RedLab 5201 is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports.

The RedLab 5201 provides eight differential thermocouple input channels and two integrated cold junction compensation (CJC) sensors. You can take measurements from type J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B thermocouples. An open thermocouple detection feature lets you detect a broken thermocouple. An on-board microprocessor automatically linearizes the measurement data.

Eight independent, TTL-compatible digital I/O channels are provided to monitor TTL-level inputs, communicate with external devices, and to generate alarms. The digital I/O channels are software programmable for input or output.

The RedLab 5201 features eight independent temperature alarms. Each alarm controls an associated digital I/O channel as an alarm output. The input to each alarm is one of the temperature input channels. The output of each alarm is software configurable as active high or low. You set up the temperature threshold conditions to activate each alarm. When an alarm is activated, the associated DIO channel is driven to the output state.

You can log your measurements to a CompactFlash® memory card. CompactFlash is a removable non-volatile storage device. A 128 MB CompactFlash memory card is shipped with the device to store your data.

The RedLab 5201 has many software-configurable options for setting up data logging.

You can record:

  • temperature (° C) or raw data from selected input channels

  • timestamp data
  • CJC sensor readings

You specify the number of seconds between samples. You can begin logging data at power up, when you press the data logging button, or at a specific date and time. Power to the RedLab 5201 is provided via the USB port and mains adaptor. Hence, you cannot log data to the memory card when the RedLab 5201 is connected to your computer's active USB bus.
