Labbox data logger, for ultra-low temperatures
The Labbox data logger for ultra-low temperatures has been specially developed to reliably record and evaluate temperature measurements at extremely low values. Thanks to the precise Pt1000 sensor and high memory capacity, this device ensures that critical temperatures can be recorded without interruption. Compared to similar solutions, the model impresses with its robust design, integrated USB port and extensive software options. This means the device can be easily used in laboratories, production facilities and transportation applications where constant ultra-low temperatures and their documentation are crucial.
Reliable recording and efficient evaluation
This model is designed for harsh environments and can store data both internally and externally. Its discrete LED display not only shows measured values, but also visually signals any deviations via an alarm. The accompanying software automatically generates detailed PDF and Excel reports, which include time stamps, minimum and maximum values and numerous analysis options. In addition, individual settings such as measurement interval, start and alarm delay or passwords and users can be easily customized. With German menu navigation and other selectable languages, the device fits seamlessly into international working environments.
Important technical data at a glance:
- Internal temperature range: -30 °C to +70 °C
- External Pt1000 sensor temperature range: -100 °C to +120 °C
- Resolution: 0.1 °C
- Accuracy: ±0.5 °C
- Memory: 48,000 measured values (24,000 internal, 24,000 external)
- Protection class: IP65
- Power supply: 2×3.0V CR2032 batteries (service life approx. 3 months)
In addition to these essential key data, the device offers a configurable alarm function (acoustic/visual) that is triggered if the set limit values are exceeded or not reached. The housing is extremely robust and protected against water and dust to IP65, ensuring reliable measurement even in environments with high humidity or in deep-freeze storage rooms. Even during long journeys in frozen or refrigerated environments, the compact design ensures easy handling without compromising the measurement process.
The integrated stamp function enables certain measuring points to be marked, for example to highlight important events during temperature monitoring. Another feature is the extensively programmable menu, which flexibly covers customer requirements from different industries. The alarm delay is particularly practical if, for example, the device only deviates from the defined limit values for a short time: this parameter prevents false alarms and unnecessary process interruptions.
An optionally available glycol vial (article DLOG-UL2-001) additionally optimizes the system for use in sensitive applications where, for example, the temperature of liquid media or frozen substances must be kept particularly stable. This vial solution simulates realistic conditions so that the sensor does not display falsified measured values due to short-term temperature fluctuations. The batteries last for around three months and are easy to replace.
Certifications and standards
The device meets the requirements of EN12830, the standard that regulates data loggers for the transportation, storage and distribution of frozen and deep-frozen food. Compliance with this standard enables comprehensive quality assurance, which is why this device is increasingly being used for food transportation, in large warehouses and for pharmaceutical applications. Users in the chemical sector also benefit from the reliable measurement results and certification, which is also relevant for laboratories, among others.
Application examples
- Monitoring frozen pharmaceutical products in the laboratory or during transportation
- Quality assurance in the food sector, e.g. for frozen meat or fish
- Documentation when shipping temperature-sensitive materials such as enzymes or blood plasma
- Control and performance monitoring in cold stores and cold chains
Precise monitoring is essential, especially in areas where sensitive substances such as salmonella samples, vaccines or frozen tissue are stored. The device enables comprehensive monitoring both stationary and mobile during transportation.
FAQs
How large is the data memory?
The data memory can store up to 48,000 measurements, half internally and half externally. This allows long recording cycles without data loss.
Can an alarm be defined if the temperature exceeds a certain value?
Yes, limit values can be defined. If they are exceeded or not reached, a visual and acoustic signal is triggered so that you can react in good time.
How is the measurement data evaluated?
Measured values can be transferred to the PC via the integrated USB port and graphically processed in PDF or Excel formats. Detailed overviews with time stamps are also available.
Can the device withstand extreme humidity levels?
Thanks to the IP65 housing, the device is splash-proof and remains safe and functional even in very humid environments or when condensation forms.
How long do the batteries last?
About three months in standard operation. However, this runtime depends on the frequency of the measurement intervals and the selected alarm settings.
Conclusion
This compact and robust data logger offers reliable, precise and versatile monitoring of ultra-low temperatures in a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. High measurement accuracy, configurable alarm functions, an integrated USB interface and compliance with EN12830 make the device a first-class option for laboratories, logistics companies and manufacturers of temperature-sensitive products. With its easy-to-use menu, interchangeable sensors and customizable reporting options, it is an indispensable tool when it comes to quality assurance and complete documentation in the ultra-low temperature range.
