R-Tek Temperature & Humidity Data Loggers

A. Product Overview

R Tek Temperature and Humidity Data Loggers are electronic monitoring instruments used to measure, record and store temperature and, on selected models, relative humidity data over a defined period.

The product range covers different monitoring requirements:

RK 120D
Single use temperature data logger designed for shipment, storage and cold chain monitoring. It supports USB connectivity and stores recorded temperature data for later review.

RT 60T PRO
Single use temperature logger designed for transportation and cold chain applications. It provides USB connectivity, alarm indication and extended monitoring capability.

RK 1005TH
Multi use temperature and humidity data logger with an internal sensor. It is suitable for repeated environmental monitoring in laboratories, warehouses, storage areas and industrial locations.

RT 15 PRO
Multi use temperature and humidity data logger with LCD display, USB connectivity and internal temperature and humidity sensing.

RK 1004TH
Multi use temperature and humidity data logger with an external sensor. It provides USB data transfer, large memory capacity and protection suitable for demanding monitoring applications.

RK 6000
Real time temperature and humidity data logger designed for continuous monitoring. It supports remote monitoring functions such as cloud based device management, alarms and location related monitoring features.

Together, these models provide solutions for basic temperature recording, temperature and humidity monitoring, repeated data logging and real time environmental supervision.

B. Working Principle

A temperature and humidity data logger works by using electronic sensors to measure surrounding environmental conditions at regular time intervals.

The temperature sensor detects changes in ambient temperature, while the humidity sensor, where available, measures relative humidity.

The logger converts the sensor signals into digital values and stores them in its internal memory. The recorded information can later be transferred through USB or, in real time monitoring models, accessed through a connected monitoring platform.

The general operating process is:

1. The data logger is configured for the required monitoring application.
2. Temperature and humidity measurements are taken automatically.
3. Readings are stored according to the selected logging interval.
4. Alarm limits can be used on supported models to identify out of range conditions.
5. Recorded data can be reviewed after monitoring is completed.
6. USB models allow recorded information to be transferred to a computer.
7. Real time models can support continuous monitoring and remote alerts.

The exact logging capacity, accuracy, sensor type and communication method depend on the selected model.

C. Why Temperature and Humidity Data Loggers Are Used

Temperature and humidity can directly affect product quality, storage conditions, transportation safety and process reliability.

Data loggers are used because they provide a recorded history of environmental conditions instead of showing only the current reading.

They are useful for:

1. Monitoring cold chain shipments.
2. Recording temperature during transportation.
3. Monitoring pharmaceutical storage conditions.
4. Checking warehouse temperature and humidity.
5. Monitoring food storage and transport environments.
6. Recording laboratory environmental conditions.
7. Monitoring industrial storage areas.
8. Identifying temperature excursions.
9. Checking humidity variations during storage.
10. Maintaining historical environmental records.
11. Supporting quality control procedures.
12. Monitoring sensitive materials during transportation and storage.

A data logger helps users understand not only the present condition but also what happened throughout the complete monitoring period.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a temperature and humidity data logger?

A temperature and humidity data logger is an electronic instrument that automatically measures and records temperature and relative humidity over a specified period.

2. Which R Tek data logger models are available?

The range includes RK 120D, RT 60T PRO, RK 1005TH, RT 15 PRO, RK 1004TH and RK 6000.

3. What is the difference between a single use and multi use data logger?

A single use data logger is generally intended for one monitoring cycle, such as a shipment. A multi use logger is designed to be reused for repeated monitoring applications.

4. Which R Tek models are suitable for single use temperature monitoring?

RK 120D and RT 60T PRO are designed for single use temperature monitoring applications.

5. Which models measure both temperature and humidity?

RK 1005TH, RT 15 PRO, RK 1004TH and RK 6000 are designed for temperature and humidity monitoring.

6. Which model has an external sensor?

RK 1004TH uses an external temperature and humidity sensor arrangement.

7. Which model is suitable for real time monitoring?

RK 6000 is designed for real time temperature and humidity monitoring and supports connected monitoring functions.

8. Can R Tek data loggers be used for cold chain monitoring?

Yes. Models such as RK 120D and RT 60T PRO are particularly suited to transportation and cold chain temperature monitoring.

9. Can these data loggers be used for pharmaceutical applications?

Yes. They can be used for monitoring temperature and humidity during pharmaceutical storage and transportation, provided the selected model meets the specific application requirements.

10. Can recorded data be transferred to a computer?

Yes. Several models in the R Tek range support USB connectivity for transferring and reviewing recorded data.

11. What is the benefit of using a USB data logger?

USB connectivity allows the user to access recorded monitoring information conveniently after the logging period is completed.

12. What is the difference between RK 1005TH and RK 1004TH?

RK 1005TH uses an internal temperature and humidity sensor, while RK 1004TH uses an external sensor arrangement. RK 1004TH also offers a larger recorded data capacity and protection suitable for more demanding monitoring applications.
