The DR203 recorder is designed to monitor temperature, during transport of goods and their storage
in truck or car refrigerators, cold chain and product stores. The thermograph has been designed and
manufactured in accordance with the applicable European standards for the transport and storage of
food products. Thanks to it, food companies and carriers can monitor, archive and document the
temperature at every stage of the food supply and storage chain. The device meets the requirements
of
the European Union Directive 92/1/EWG and the European Commission Regulation no. 37/2005. The
recorder also meets the standards PNEN 12830:2002 and PNEN 13485:2002. The set includes a
manufacturer calibration certificate. A calibration certificate in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17025 is
available at an additional cost.
The recorder is made in a small, ergonomic housing with a modern graphical display and a builtin
thermal printer. It is powered by a builtin battery that allows you to work without a charger for 48 hours.
Thanks to these features and wireless communication with measurement sensors, the device is fully
mobile and comfortable in everyday use. The set includes a car holder for mounting the device in the
driver's cabin and a car charger.
The recorder has 4 temperature measurement channels and 4 signaling channels for door opening
by the 1400mAh (removable) battery with
power supply from vehicle installation 12...24V DC
±10%(battery life minimum one year). Each wireless sensor has a builtin temperature probe and the
ability to connect the door open sensor. For each wireless sensor, you can also connect a one
additional temperature probe via a 10mb cable sensor (Cable sensor DR203).
As a result, the
wireless sensor can, for example, be mounted directly in the refrigeration chamber and measure the
ambient temperature and, in addition, the second temperature can be measured by a cable probe
inserted into the refrigerator compartment or another fridge.
After connecting the door limit
sensor, each chamber door open and close operate can be signaled and recorded. Sensors are
designed to work in hard environmental conditions (low temperatures, high humidity) with IP65
protection. Cable probes with stainless steel measuring tips allow direct food contact.
DR203 is designed to monitor and record temperature. Builtin nonvolatile memory allows you to
record 125,000 measurements points (memory: 3 years at the memorization frequency of 15 minutes).
The interval for saving data to the memory can be set in the range from 1 min to 24 hours. When the
memory is full, the recorder works in a loop, the oldest samples
are
overwritten
by
new
measurements points.
The recorder can work in one of two modes:
continuous registration
registration of deliveries (only during the course)
In the first mode, the device records the measurements all the time and can save data even after
switching off the recorder (if the AutoOFF parameter set = NO) or loss of communication with radio
sensors. It is possible thanks to the sensor's cache memory (1000 measurements points), which saves
the data to it's own memory and sends it after regaining communication with the recorder.
In the second case, the registration data process is switched on and off with the every start and stop
button operate, which simultaneously marks the start and end of the course.
During operation, the recorder indicates the current temperature of the sensors, time and alarm
thresholds messages. After pressing the info button, you can display the state of the sensors and the
?
measured since the device was turned on. The builtin
menu allows for a wide configuration of the device:
temperature alarm thresholds for each sensor
sound signaling of alarms
entering the names of sensors and user descriptions in the header
and footer of the print report by built in printer
choosing a language, setting the date, time and time zone
selection of the registration method and it's parameters
bluetooth communication settings
The parameters menu is divided into two groups:
basic for the driver
advanced for the service department
Access to the service department menu can be password protected. After entering the password, the
memory data can be deleted and all parameters settings can be restored to the factory settings.
