The 1-channel data logger testo 176 T1 is ideally suited for high-precision temperature monitoring. With its internal sensor, it continuously and reliably records the room air temperature in cold stores and freezers, for example. As its sensor is a Pt100 temperature sensor, the temperature is measured and documented very precisely. This is because the Pt100 temperature sensor achieves an accuracy of up to 0.2 °C.
Up to 2 million measured values can be stored in the temperature data logger's large measurement data memory. This means that temperature monitoring is possible over a long period of time - even without frequent reading of the data logger. The battery life of up to 8 years also offers a major advantage for long-term temperature monitoring and recording.
Technical features and practical benefits
The testo 176 T1 temperature data logger has a metal housing, which is advantageous for temperature monitoring in the industrial sector, for example. Hard impacts, for example caused by a pallet on a forklift truck, are repelled and mechanical influences have no effect. This means that the data logger can also be used for long-term measurements under extreme conditions. In accordance with protection class IP 68, the temperature data logger is also completely waterproof and dustproof.
The measurement data is securely stored on the testo 176 T1 - it is not lost even when the battery is empty or when the battery is changed.
For use in the food sector, the temperature data logger has been tested and certified by the ATP test center of TÜV Süd in accordance with DIN EN 12830. It also conforms to HACCP.
Possible areas of application for the temperature data logger
- Monitoring and documentation of the storage temperature
- Temperature monitoring in freezer rooms for food
- Monitoring and documenting the temperature in cold storage rooms
Programming and evaluating the data logger
You can choose between three software versions for programming and reading out your temperature data logger and for analyzing measurement data on a PC:
-
ComSoft Basic software - available as a free download - for quick programming of the data logger and simple evaluation of the data
-
ComSoft Professional software - can be ordered separately - offers various options for analyzing the temperature values in more detail
-
ComSoft CFR 21 Part 11 software - can be ordered separately - ideal for the special requirements of CFR 21 Part 11 for pharmaceutical applications
A USB cable is required to program the temperature data logger, but this is not included in the scope of delivery. You can also transfer the measurement data to the PC using the USB cable or via an SD card. Both can be ordered as optional accessories.
