Model 18 Cryogenic Temperature Monitor

The Model 18 has eight independent multi-purpose sensor inputs. Virtually any cryogenic temperature sensor from any manufacturer can be selected by a single setting of the front panel. Custom or specially calibrated sensors require only a simple setup procedure. In addition to its high accuracy/performance and low noise design, unique features include: Internal Data Logging, Ethernet Connectivity, a large easy to read display and extensive utility software.

Ethernet connectivity adds a new dimension of utility to these monitors. In both industrial and laboratory applications, Ethernet is more reliable and easier to use compared to other communication standards. Furthermore, it is essential to remote, distributed sensor or Local Area Network based systems.

All eight input channels are independent and each can be individually configured to support any sensor types. Inputs are NOT multiplexed.

The front panel consists of a large, bright Vacuum Fluorescent display and a 5-key keypad. Most features and functions can be accessed via this simple and intuitive menu driven interface. All eight temperature readings are displayed in a 2 x 4 matrix.

Cryogen-Free systems:

• Eight input channels. Cryogen-Free systems often require more than two.

General purpose laboratory:

• Eight inputs support virtually every cryogenic temperature sensor offered by every manufacturer.
• Ethernet connectivity for ease of remote control.
• Internal data logging.

Distributed Instrumentation

• Ethernet facilitates separation of instruments over great distances so the instrument can be moved closer to the temperature sensors.
• Many instruments can be connected to a single LAN.

Superconducting Magnets:

• Cryogen-Free magnet systems often require many sensor inputs.
• Robust support for the high-resistance Ruthenium-Oxide temperature sensors that are commonly used in magnet systems.
• Internal data logging to NV memory records time stamped data and survives a power failure.
