Introduction to the temp-chart Software
Carrying out a Measurement
Attention
If the ambient temperature is above 40 °C, the temp-gard instrument must not be used
without the thermal barrier. The maximum duration at an ambient temperature of 250 °C is
3 hours.
Position of Thermocouple Probes
Type and positon of the probes influence the product temperature. The product or object
to be measured determines the type and size (material mass) of the probes used.
Depending on the thickness and magnetic properties of the object, either magnetic probes,
clamps or adhesive probes are used. The thermocouple probes are always plugged into
the temp-gard instrument from jack 1 to x.
Starting a Measurement
x Connect the thermocouple probes to the temp-gard instrument.
x Insert an SRAM card with a standard template or a customized template into the slot
of the temp-gard instrument.
x Press the start/stop key to switch on the instrument. The template setup is displayed.
x The preset number of probes, the duration and the sampling interval of the measure-
ment can be adjusted by pressing the mode key of the temp-gard instrument. If the
card is protected, this function is not available.
x Start the measurement by pressing the start/stop key.
x Embed the temp-gard in the thermal barrier.
Attention
Make sure that the thermal barrier and the heat sinks have cooled down completely after
the previous measurement.
x Screw down the heat sinks in both halfs of the thermal barrier.
x Place the temp-gard in the lower part of the thermal barrier.
x Make sure that all gaskets are clean and without defects.
x Place the thermocouple cables side by side in the lateral sparings of the thermal
barrier and lock the box with the upper part.
