RFTEMP101 - Thermocouple Based Temperature Transmitter

Description:
The RFTemp is a miniature, battery powered,  stand-alone, dual channel temperature transmitter. This device, used in conjunction with our RF Receiver, combines the latest in low power technology with Windows based software to provide a next generation Temperature Transmitter.  The RFTemp is the first of its kind and is a major leap forward in both size and performance. 

Additional features include programmable transmission interval, programmable calibration, automatic cold junction compensation and linearization and real time monitoring.  Its real time clock enables all data to be time and date stamped. The device will directly accept any of the 8 most common thermocouple types.  

In addition, the ambient temperature is also transmitted and provided to the user as a second temperature channel. Its reading rate (transmission rate) is user selectable and can range from 1 per 5 seconds to 1 per day. Once activated, this device will continually transmit readings.  Its small size allows it to fit almost anywhere. The RFTemp is easy to install.  

Data retrieval is simple. Plug it the receiver into an empty com port and our easy to use software does the rest.   The RFTemp requires minimal effort to configure.  The software used to configure the RFTemp requires no programming skills and enables users to effortlessly select reading rate, user id and initiate the start of data collection within moments after users connect their hardware.  A simple plug-in connection is all that is required to connect our RF Receiver  to your PC.  Up to 8 RFTemp’s can be used to transmit data to 1 receiver.
