Recording the Oven Temperature
x Attach the thermocouple probes to the object.
Attention
Secure all cables and make sure that they cannot get tangled up when travelling through
the oven.
x Hang the thermal barrier on the belt and make sure there is enough free space for the
thermocouple probes, the cables and the thermal barrier.
Finishing the Measurement
Attention
All parts can be very hot after the measurement.
x Remove the hot thermal barrier from the belt wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Open the thermal barrier and press the start/stop key.
x Take out the SRAM card and load down the measurement data to your computer.
Please Note:
After the measurement data are saved on a computer, the card can immediately be used
for the next measurement. Saving a new template on the card is possible but not
compulsory for a subsequent measurement. temp-gard automatically recognizes whether
the previous measurement has already been saved on a computer. If the data has not
been saved yet, a warning is displayed.
Cooling Down the Protective Parts
x Place hot thermal barriers on spacers, a ceramic fiber blanket or refractory material to
ensure uniform cooling. Placing a hot thermal barrier directly onto a cold surface may
cause the housing to deform due to the different cooling rates of the surfaces.
x Since the heat absorbed by the thermal barrier continues to affect the temperature of
the heat sink and data logger, remove these parts from the thermal barrier as soon as
the test is completed. Allow them to cool down before further use. In most cases
cooling overnight is sufficient.
