CHECKMATE™ DL

Introduction

CHAPTER 1

The Checkmate™ DL handheld instrument is the convenient and hassle-free way
to program and collect data from Microcor Data Loggers or Corrosometer and
Corrater Remote Data Collectors (RDCs). Checkmate DL can be programmed to
operate with either technology with only a few keypad entries. This portable unit
can store readings of up to 50 different Microcor Data Loggers or Corrosometer
and Corrater RDCs. The intrinsically safe communication between the
instrument and Data Loggers or RDCs enables the user to collect data without
moving the Data Logger or RDC to a safe area. Furthermore, the Checkmate
DL makes transferring stored data to a PC a much simpler process than before,
using the Corrdata Plus® Corrosion Management Software or the Microcor Tools
Software. Refer to Appendix A for Typical System Con
