TRACEABLE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TRACEABLE from 3G Electric.
What is the temperature range and accuracy of Traceable thermometers with data logging?
Traceable thermometers with data logging measure from -58°F to 158°F (-50°C to 70°C) with an accuracy of ±0.25°C. Models are available with bottle, bullet, or penetration probes. The bottle probes can be glycol-filled for thermal stability. Cabled versions use a 10 ft cable, and some models include USB connectivity for transferring logged data. Units are available with Fahrenheit or Celsius displays. The calibration certificate is included on applicable models.
What probe types are available for Traceable data-logging thermometers?
Traceable data-logging thermometers are offered with bottle, bullet, and penetration probes. Bottle probes are available with glycol fill, which provides a defined thermal mass for monitoring temperature in refrigerators, freezers, tanks, and water baths. Bullet probes are used for general-purpose air and liquid measurement. Penetration probes are intended for liquids, semi-solids, and air where the probe tip must enter the medium. All cabled probes have a 10 ft cable.
How does the Traceable four-channel timer differ from the count-up digital timer?
The Traceable four-channel timer (MPN 5667) has an LCD display, counts up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, includes a clock function, and can display previously programmed countdown times. It has an audible alarm and is supplied with a clip, magnet, and stand. The count-up digital timer (MPN 5013) counts to a maximum of 99 minutes and 59 seconds, uses an LED display, and has a visual alarm for environments where audible alerts are not suitable. The two models serve different timing ranges and alarm requirements.
What does the Traceable cabled hygrometer measure?
The Traceable cabled hygrometer (MPN 4185) measures ambient temperature, dew point, and relative humidity. It is a data-logging meter and includes a calibration certificate. Typical applications include environmental monitoring in HVAC, clean rooms, and other controlled spaces where humidity and dew point records are needed. The cabled sensor allows the measurement point to be placed away from the display unit.
Are calibration certificates included with Traceable instruments?
Calibration certificates are included with certain Traceable instruments, such as the cabled hygrometer (MPN 4185) and data-logging thermometers where specified. The certificate documents the calibration of the instrument. Buyers should confirm certificate inclusion on the specific model and SKU they are ordering, as not every Traceable product in the catalog ships with one. 3G Electric can provide the manufacturer documentation that accompanies each product.
What cable length do Traceable data-logging thermometers use?
The Traceable data-logging thermometers listed with cabled probes use a 10 ft cable. This length allows the probe to be placed in a duct, tank, freezer, or other controlled environment while the display and logging unit remain outside. Models with 10 ft cables include MPN 6444, 6442, 6439, 6446, and 6430. Probe styles across these models include bottle, bullet, and penetration types, with glycol-filled bottle options available.
