Elcometer 215 Oven Temperature Data Recorder

Elcometer Home Page

 

The Elcometer 215 is an easy to use oven temperature data recorder which can be used to measure and record the oven temperature profile.

Logging both the product's surface and the air temperature in a cure oven, the Elcometer 215 identifies the "Temperature Profile" and so provides the User with sufficient information to ensure the consistent quality of your coating process.

Suitable for powder coating cure ovens, wet coating cure ovens, batch ovens and conveyor ovens, the Elcometer 215's measurements, analysis levels and report options (fully customisable) generate tailor-made information about the curing processes.

The data logger is fitted with a large display for easy menu-driven operation and an immediate display of the measurement results.

  • Maximise productivity:
    • Reduce rejects and reworks due to poor oven performance.
  • Minimise energy costs:
    • Avoid running the ovens and unnecessarily high temperatures or times.
  • Optimise finishing quality:
    • Logging temperature profiles provides the information required to ensure consistent quality.
  • Datalogger software:
    • Analyse and create advanced reporting with collected data using Ideal Finish software.
  • See immediate test results:
    • No need to wait for data to download, the LCD screen displays screen index, maximum temperature & graphical representation for each probe.

 

Data logger features include:

  • Optional add-on to convert the 6 channel data logger into a 12-channel system for more accurate temperature profiling
  • Large display for easy menu-driven operation. Simply follow the instructions on the display.
  • Menus in five languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
  • Five different data-evaluation methods.
  • Displays the results of every stored batch, including Cure-index.
  • Standard AA-batteries ensure many hours of continuous operation.
  • Extended memory stores 10 batches of 25,000 measurements each.

Additional logger features for detailed results:

  • Start and stop logging at a pre-set time and date.
  • Start and stop logging at a pre-set temperature.
  • Programmable (via PC) for up to 15 paint-types, for accurate calculation of the Cure-index.
  • If a paint-type is not available in the library, it can be entered in the logger (1 type per batch).
  • Variable measurement interval, date, time, C°/F°

Simple 3-step operation for basic features:

1. Connect the probes to the product and switch the logger "on".
2. Place the logger in the box and send it through the oven.
3. Read the results from the display or send them to a printer or PC

Flexible Evaluation of Data

  • Quick display:
    • The logger display shows maximum temperature and Cure-Index figure, percentage and pass/fail sign, or graphic representation for each probe.
  • Wireless print:
    • The optional portable infrared printer can print a brief report which includes: Cure-index, maximum temperature and graphs for immediate information review.
  • Logger to printer:
    • A complete, full-colour report can be printed directly to any HP-DeskJet or PCL3 compatible printer using the optional printer-link. No computer required!
  • Extensive analysis:
    • For extensive analysis, comprehensive calculations and fully customisable reports every system is supplied with powerful "Ideal Finish" data analysis software.
