Ellab Temperature Indicator Validation & Monitoring Solutions FDA compliant and an excellent choice for retort monitoring - and much more

ETI Ellab Temperature Indicator The ETI is a high quality, digital temperature indicator that is used as a reference instrument for indicating the process temperature and/or pressure conditions in retorts. The indicator complies with FDA 21 CFR, Part 113 regulations and is highly appropriate for thermal processing of low-acid canned foods, making it an attractive alternative to mercury-in-glass (MIG) thermometers. FDA Compliance In order to ensure compliance with FDA 21 CFR, Part 113 regulations, the ETI offers the following features: • Documented accuracy – The ETI accuracy is tested...

The ETI is an excellent choice for retort monitoring as well as other applications. By recognizing that product safety, quality and efficiency are of paramount importance, Ellab has implemented the following features to the ETI: • Automatic warning before calibration due date • Automatic warning upon loss of accuracy or probe malfunction • Unique calibration concept with interchangeable probes that secures a constant production flow and prevents downtime • Internal rechargeable 8-hour battery • Send temperature/time data through the RS485 port to a remote computer • The ETI is delivered...

Temperature Sensor The temperature sensor can be connected and disconnected while the Main Unit remains fully powered and functional. When a sensor is connected, the ETI will briefly display the sensor serial number and status before measuring the temperature. The sensor can be connected to the Main Unit directly or by using an extension cable up to 20 meters long. Each sensor features an EEPROM, which contains calibration constants and other essential information, like sensor ID, production date, calibration date and recalibration due date. In order to ensure that sensors are correctly...

Options Remote Display A Remote Display can be connected to the ETI’s RS485 interface. The Remote Display is connected to the Main Unit by using a cable up to 1,200 meters long. The Remote Display is powered by the Main Unit or vice versa. If the Remote Display is to remain functional during potential power failures, a backup battery must be installed in both units. Panel Mounting Ellab offers a solution that enables mounting the ETI Main Unit in a panel or on a DIN rail. ETI Modbus More advanced ETI operation enables connection to a PLC by using Modbus communication. The temperature,...

Software ValSuite® or ETISuite™ The ETI can be operated through the ValSuite software or the optional ETISuite software that enables the collection of data through the RS485 port to a computer. Furthermore, the software offers features that allow users to make fully documented and detailed calibrations and reports. By using the software, it is possible to monitor the status of the ETI by enabling users to log temperature/pressure values or, alternatively, use the PC to program the ETI to log data independently. Reports With both ValSuite and ETISuite, it is possible to generate various...

Calibration User Calibration The ValSuite and ETISuite software also offer a complete user calibration routine, providing fully traceable documentation. Factory Calibration Only the sensor is required when the ETI is due for recalibration, which means that the ETI can remain mounted and be equipped with another sensor during calibration periods. Upon sending the sensor to be factory calibrated, a certificate will be issued that includes all the information required to comply with FDA regulations and ensure the reliability, as well as accuracy, of the ETI. The calibration data is easily...
