Ambient Temperature And Thermocouple Data Logger, NOMAD Family

The OM-CP-TC101A is a new state-of-the-art low-cost battery powered thermocouple data logger. The OM-CP-TC101A offers a 10 year battery life, 1 second reading rate, a multiple start/stop function, ultra-high speed download capability, 1,000,000 reading storage capacity, optional memory wrap, battery life indicator, optional password protection, programmable high-low alarms and more. Using the software, starting, stopping and downloading from the OM-CP-TC101A is simple and easy. Graphical, tabular and summary data is provided for analysis and data can be viewed in °C, °F, K or °R. The data can also be automatically exported to Excel® for further calculations. The OM-CP-TC101A is a major leap forward in both size and performance. Its real time clock ensures that all data is time and date stamped.

The storage medium is non-volatile solid state memory, providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged. Its small size allows it to fit almost anywhere. Data retrieval is simple. Plug it into an available USB port and the easy to use Windows software does the rest. The software converts your PC into a real time strip chart recorder. Data can be printed in tabular format and can also be exported to a text or Microsoft Excel file. The OM-CP-TC101A designed with our customers in mind. There are free firmware upgrades for the life of the product so that data loggers already deployed in the field can grow with new technological developments. Units do not need to be returned to the factory for upgrades. The user can do this automatically from any PC.

Start Modes:
• Immediate start
• Delay start up to 18 months
• Multiple pushbutton start/stop
Multiple Start/Stop Mode: Start and stop the device multiple times without having to download data or communicate with a PC
Multiple Start/Stop Mode Activation: To start the device press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds, the device has started logging; to stop the device press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds while the device is logging, the device has stopped logging
Real Time Recording: The device may be used with PC to monitor and record data in real-time
Alarm: Programmable high and low limits; alarm is activated when temperature reaches
or exceeds set limits
Alarm Delay: A cumulative alarm delay may be set in which the device will activate that alarm (via LED) only when the device has recorded a user specified time duration of data
Trigger Settings: High and low limits may be set for the thermocouple channel. Once data meets or exceeds sets limits, the device will record to memory. Bi-level start and stop triggers can also be programmed. Users can specify the number or readings to take after the device triggers
LED Functionality:
  Green LED Blinks:
  10 second rate to indicate logging; 15 second rate to indicate delay start mode
  Red LED Blinks:
  10 second rate to indicate low battery and/or full memory; 1 second rate to indicate
  an alarm condition
Password Protection: An optional password may be programmed into the device to restrict
access to configuration options. Data may be read out without the password
Battery Type: 3.6V lithium battery (included); user replaceable
Battery Life: 10 years typical, dependent upon frequency and duty cycle
