Ellab Temperature Indicator

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Ellab Temperature Indicator (ETI) is a digital temperature indicator designed for retort monitoring and other applications. It complies with FDA 21 CFR, Part 113 regulations, making it suitable for thermal processing of low-acid canned foods. The ETI is a modern alternative to mercury-in-glass thermometers, offering high accuracy and ease of use.

Specifications
The ETI consists of a Main Unit and a sensor. The Main Unit includes a display and microcontroller, while the sensor contains dual Pt-1000 circuits and calibration data. The ETI is available in three configurations: ETI Indicator, ETI Recorder, and ETI Recorder Plus, each offering different features such as PC connectivity and pressure sensor integration.

FDA Compliance
The ETI ensures compliance with FDA regulations through documented accuracy, electromagnetic interference protection, and environmental suitability. It features a dual probe sensor for accuracy loss detection and a unique ID for traceability.

Key Features
  • Automatic calibration and error warnings
  • Interchangeable probes for continuous operation
  • Rechargeable battery with 8-hour backup
  • RS485 communication interface for data transfer
  • Software options for data collection and report generation

Technical Specifications
  • Main Unit: Anodized Aluminum, IP67 rated, 60,000 sample memory
  • Temperature Sensor: Stainless Steel, -100 to +150 °C range, IP67 rated
  • Pressure Sensor: Stainless Steel, 0-4 bar range, IP67 rated

Installation and Connectivity
The ETI can be mounted on DIN rails or panels and connected to a PLC via Modbus for advanced operations. It supports remote display connections up to 1,200 meters and PC connections using RS485.

Software and Calibration
ValSuite and ETISuite software facilitate data collection, calibration, and report generation. The ETI supports user and factory calibration, ensuring compliance and accuracy.

Conclusion

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 mounted...

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, pressure...

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 types...

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 visible...
