VACQ xFlat - TMI

Temperature
data logger
VACQ xFlat
Measures temperature at various points for the control of thermal processes.
In order to fit into flat access furnaces, TMI-Orion has designed VACQ xFlat, particularly
appreciated when monitoring temperature in dry heat processes.
It is protected by a thermal shield when temperature exceeds +150°C.
VACQ xFlat 1.4
• 4 thermocouple channels, 1 internal reference channel and 1 reference channel for cold
junction
VACQ xFlat 1.8
• 8 thermocouple channels, 1 internal reference channel and 1 reference channel for cold
junction
VACQ xFlat 2.4
• 2 x 4 thermocouple channels, 1 internal reference channel and 1 reference channel for cold
junction
VACQ xFlat 2.8
• 2 x 8 thermocouple channels, 1 internal reference channel and up to 3 reference channels
for cold junction
Operating range
0°C to +140°C or -55°C to +140°C (peaks at +150°C).
For temperatures beyond 140°C, thermal protection upon request.
● Batteries to be used according to logger operating range

It is possible to change batteries on the same logger to have extended temperature
range.
Option: Power adaptator supplied with VXPS battery (0° to 70°C).
Calibration uncertaineties: +/- 0.1°C from 0°C to +140°C
The specified uncertainties correspond to two standard deviation.The uncertainties are
calculated taking into account the various significant error sources,including the calibration probes, the equipments, the environmental conditions, the influence of the logger,
repeatability, etc…
●
Each logger can be calibrated and checked at the temperature points needed by the
user.
● Temperature resolution and noise: 16 bit converter, resolution : <±0,1 °C
● Type K thermocouple (full scale +1300°C), type T thermocouple (full scale +400°C),
other types upon request (J, N, …)

VACQ xFlat
FullRadio
Option
Real time data: wireless and contactless communication
VACQ xFlat FullRadio loggers are entirely autonomous. They are equipped with
thermocouple sensors and do not require any wire connection.
They offer the following functionalities:
- wireless and contactless remote setup, starting and reading of data,
- radio recording and transmitting of data during measurement,
- starting and/or stopping the recording (or radio transmission) on a date.
VACQ xFlat FullRadio loggers use the technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard,
which enables the management of numerous loggers simultaneously.
All VACQ xFlat are available with FullRadio option.
