Q.   What is a temperature logger?

A.   A temperature logger is an electronic product which measures and records temperatures into an internal memory, this can be downloaded to your computer to analyse the temperatures in a graph or data table.

 

 

Q.   What is the accuracy of the temperature sensors?

A.   The accuracy of the temperature probe is ±0.5˚C over the range of 0-70˚C

 

 

Q.   What is the resolution of the temperature sensors?

A.   The resolution of the temperature sensors is 0.0625˚C, this resolution is recorded in the memory.

 

 

Q.   How often does the SynoLog record the temperatures?

A.   This is up to you; the option is given between 1 minute and an infinite time intervals.

 

 

Q.   Can I do humidity logging with the SynoLog?

A.   The SynoLog-HDx allows the measuring of ambient humidity values.

 

 

Q.   What is the accuracy of the humidity logging?

A.   The SynoLog-HDx can provide ±2% over the full 0-100% range.

 

 

Q.   What is the difference between a SynoLog-TDB and SynoLog-TDR?

A.   The SynoLog-TDB has its external probe connector on the bottom of the unit whereas the SynoLog-TDR has its external probe connector on the rear.  The application you require the SynoLog for determines whether you would want the connector on the rear or the bottom.

 

 

Q.   Where can the SynoLog be used?

A.  The SynoLog series can be used in a wide variety of applications, some examples where it can be used are:  Wineries, Animal Husbandry, Horticulture, Floriculture, Transportation, Temperature Controlled Storage, Incubators & Hatcheries, Pharmaceutical Storage, Building Environment Monitoring, Culture Rooms & Cold Rooms & Freezers.

 

 

Q.   If the battery runs out, will the previously recorded temperatures stay in memory?

A.   Yes, the memory is non-volatile which means it does not need power to hold its memory.

 

 

Q.   What are the advantages of using digital technology in the temperature probes?

A.   Digital technology means the temperature is calculated at the source (at the sensor) with a factory calibrated sensor and so does not require user calibration.  This allows the SynoLog temperature monitoring unit to be plugged into various SynoProbe temperature probes without the need for calibration.

 

Each SynoProbe has a distinct internal serial number that can be detected and recorded in the SynoLog temperature monitoring unit.  Probes can be strategically placed throughout an establishment.  A staff member can carry a single Synolog unit and plug it into each temperature probe site giving an immediate reading and recording of the temperature at that time.  The temperature probe serial number detected is also recorded allowing the user to distinguish between probes.  Alternatively SynoLog temperature monitoring units can be placed stand alone or on each probe to have a continuous recording and monitoring option for individual probes.  The data can be downloaded into the PC for analysis and to keep records for future reference.

 

 

Q.   Why don’t the SynoProbe temperature probes require calibration?

A.   Other older forms of temperature measurement require you to connect them to an external measuring device to convert these signals to something useable.  With a Synoprobe this is all done within one component in the end of the probe.  A digital signal is sent to the SynoLog unit with details of the temperature.  The component in the probe is already calibrated and there are no external influences to affect the calibration.

 

 

Q.   Can I place various SynoProbe temperature probes around my installation and use one SynoLog temperature logger to record temperatures of each of these probes?

A.   Each SynoProbe has a distinct internal serial number that can be detected and recorded in the SynoLog temperature monitoring unit.  Probes can be strategically placed throughout an establishment.  A staff member can carry a single Synolog unit and plug it into each temperature probe site giving an immediate reading and recording of the temperature at that time.  The temperature probe serial number detected is also recorded allowing the user to distinguish between probes. 

 

 

Q.   Can you make custom temperature probes?

A.   Yes, we can discuss making a probe to suit any application you see fit, just ask us and you will be surprised at the cost effectiveness of a custom probe.

 

 

Q.   What is the resolution of the display?

A.   The resolution of the display is to 0.1˚C, many temperature monitoring solutions do not provide a decimal place essential for accuracy.

 

 

Q.   What is the temperature range of the probes?

A.   The probes can measure temperatures from -40˚C to 125˚C

 

 

Q.   What is the temperature range of the SynoLog unit?

A.   The SynoLog can measure ambient temperatures from 0˚C to 85˚C

 

 

Q.   How do I connect my SynoLog unit to the PC?

A.   The Syno232 cable can connect the SynoLog to the PC to change settings and download the recorded temperatures.

 

 

Q.   What software do you provide and is it free?

A.   We provide the SynoLog Studio software free, this software allows you to change all the settings in the SynoLog unit and lets you download the recorded data, display it in a graph and in a table for analysis.  Graphs and Data can also be printed out or exported to a file that can be opened by Excel.

 

 

Q.   Can I upgrade my SynoLog unit when newer software comes out?

A.   A feature of the SynoLog is that the internal software of the unit is upgradeable which means that if new features come out you can easily upgrade the unit.

 

 

Q.   Can I use the SynoLog temperature logger in my winery?

A.     Temperature monitoring is important throughout the entire winemaking process, from grape receival right through to storage and maturation of the wine.  The Synolog series of temperature monitoring & logging products allow the winemaker to keep track of all the important areas needing temperature monitoring using a cost effective solution.       Click to find out more......

 

 

Q.   How many readings can be saved into the SynoLog?

A.   Over 16,000 data values can be saved in the SynoLog memory.

 

 

Q.   What batteries do I need for the SynoLog?

A.   The SynoLog unit uses 3 x AAA batteries for its power source.

 

 

Q.   Are there visual and audible alarms for High and Low temperature points?

A.   Yes, you can set high and low points for the siren and Light Emitting Diodes to be activated whenever the temperature on the probe goes above or below programmed in set points.

 

 

Q.   What is the advantage of using a SynoLog temperature logger over a standard temperature probe?

A.   The versatility of the SynoLog unit and probes is the main advantage.  One day you can be using the handheld probe to measure temperatures inside a liquid, the next you can use the same SynoLog unit standalone to record the temperatures in a stock room, and the next you can take samples from various probes placed around your establishment.
