Temperature and Humidity Measurments

The rugged IQ-TRH and IQ-TRH-40 data loggers are versatile devices designed for remote, battery-operated monitoring. Both units, shipped with a battery that lasts 10 years under normal circumstances, measure relative humidity as well as ambient temperature and save readings to its internal, nonvolatile memory.

The IQ-TRH and IQ-TRH-40 hold up to 31,920 and 64,680 samples, respectively, when logging a single relative humidity (RH) channel. Typically, loggers are connected to the PC only for initial set up, testing, and uploading data. While connected, data is displayed in real time and stored in a loggerıs nonvolatile memory. Data sampling concludes by pressing the logger button or through a program that stops gathering information when its memory is full. If loggers are not programmed to stop on a full memory, theyıll continue to acquire samples and overwrite old data.

The data loggers have three start modes: Push Button, User-Programmed Delay, or Point Capture Start. The front panel LED confirms start status initiation. When a recording session is complete, users reconnect the loggers to a PC and download data directly to a Microsoft Excel worksheet. These data loggers introduce a flexible, lightweight device for engineers or scientists who need to collect data from remote areas. With a 64,680 sample memory, a data logger can sample relative humidity once per minute for 45 days, or once every 15 min. for over 22 months.

The IQ-TRH is priced at $139, and the IQ-TRH-40 costs $169.
