Biology Experiment:
o
Temperature Variations in the Human Body (B-42)
Technical background:
The philosophy behind NeuLog’s plug and play technology is based on each sensor’s
ability to store its own data due to an internal flash memory chip and micro-controller
in each plastic NeuLog body. This technology allows the sensor to collect and then
store the digital data in the correct scientific units (
o
C,
o
F, Lux, %, ppm, for example).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in software in the logger can be
upgraded for free at any time using the provided firmware update.
The NeuLog infrared sensor is based on a phenomenon known as “black body
radiation”. As molecules are heated up, they move much more rapidly and in turn put
off more infrared radiation.
Inside the infrared sensor is a detector called a thermopile, which collects infrared light
directed from the external lens. As the thermopile heats up, an electrical current which
flows through it encounters more resistance which scales with temperature changes.
The resistance can easily be measured and then calculated back into a temperature
value.
Maintenance and storage:
Never submerge the NeuLog plastic body in any liquid.
Do not allow liquid into the infrared thermometer
sensor’s body.
After use, gently wipe away any foreign material from the infrared thermometer
sensor.
Store in a box at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
Warranty:
We promise to deliver our sensor free of defects in materials and workmanship. The
warranty is for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase and does not cover
damage of the product caused by improper use, abuse, or incorrect storage. Sensors
with a shelf life such as ion selective probes have a warranty of 1 year. Should you
need to act upon the warranty, please contact your distributor. Your sensor will be
repaired or replaced.
Thank you for using NeuLog!
Flexible, simple, fast, forward thinking.
