Probes attach to
the 1521 and 1522 using Harts own INFO-CON connector. The
INFO-CON
(partially based on U.S. Patent 5,857,777) allows you to change the probes you
use without requiring
you to reprogram your readout. A memory chip in the INFO-CON stores all the
critical information
about your probe, including its serial number, recall date, and calibration
constants.
When you connect
your probe, the 1521 automatically recognizes whether youre using an RTD
or thermistor and downloads the calibration constants and type of conversion
specific to your probe.
It also checks the recall date stored in the INFO-CON to verify it has not expired.
To dedicate a single
probe to your readout, disable the password-protected interchangeability function
and your thermometer
will read only the probe you specify.
Forget entering
calibration constants yourself, and dont worry about the mistakes that
can so easily occur
during that process. You dont even need to select your sensor type. Its
all stored in the INFO-CON.
Just plug in your probe and youre ready to take readings. It doesnt
get any easier.
Information is
loaded into the memory of the INFO-CON by Hart when you purchase a probe or
have a
probe recalibrated by Hart. Alternatively, you may load your own information
into an INFO-CON through the
Handheld Thermometer or through Model 9934 LogWare.
If youd like
to use a Hart Handheld Thermometer with probes you already own, no problem!
Spare connectors are available. They easily connect to your probes, and
you can program them yourself.
Model 1521 LLK
The 1521 Little
Lord Kelvin uses a menu system for convenient access to all functions. Calibration
and sensor
programming functions are password protected
to help prevent unauthorized access.
Min
and Max functions store the lowest and highest readings since the
last reset. The Hold
function freezes and stores the current reading (up to six may be stored) for
later recall. And the Delta
function computes the difference between the current reading and a reference
value, which may
be recorded at any time.
Each thermometer
comes complete with rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries, an AC
adapter/charger, an RS-232 cable for connecting to your PC, and a spare INFO-CON
connector.
Every unit also includes a NIST-traceable calibration with actual resistance
measurements for your
individual meter at ten point s- four representing typical RTD values and six
representing typical thermistor values.
Model 1522 LLL
The Model 1522
Little Lord Logger has all the power and great features of the 1521 plus the
ability to log data.
Two data acquisition modes are included.
In Auto Logging
mode, the 1522 can store up to 10,000 measurements at user-selected
intervals, including the value, unit of measure, date, and time of each measurement.
If you need
more than one data set, stop recording any time and record as many sets as you
like up to a total
of 10,000 values. Once the 10,000 value limit is reached, recording stops, so
data is never lost unless
you tell the 1522 to clear its log.
The 1522 also holds
as many as 25 data labels in its memory so that each set of data can
be uniquely tagged. Simply select one of the 25 labels youve created
before recording data.
This label is then recorded with each measurement.
In Demand
Logging mode, up to 100 individual measurements can be recorded, each
one tagged with
one of the 25 data labels. Whether you need a lot of measurements from
one source or single
measurements from many sources, the 1522 is a powerful data recording tool.
With Harts
9934 LogWare software, data management is easy. Data sets gathered remotely
through the 1522 can be easily downloaded to a PC either as a single file or
as individual files for each
data set. Link the LLL to your PC through a serial cable or its IrDA port
to send data as ASCII or binary files.
View the data, graph it, or apply alarms. With LogWare you can record data in
real time either from a
1522 or 1521 Thermometer.
