The Scout pyrometer provides real-time data monitoring and data logging of up to nine thermocouples simultaneously and is mounted in a NEMA 3R weatherproof enclosure. The Scout features an easy to read backlit LCD screen, programmable internal and external alarms for each individual thermocouple, capacitive sensitive buttons, and Bluetooth connectivity. The pyrometer displays all nine thermocouples, the maximum peak temperature, current time, if logging is enabled, if memory is full, and battery status. The Scout is supported by a one year warranty.
The data logging feature of the Scout pyrometer allows for a 90-hour history of the burn room temperatures to be wirelessly exported to an SD card on a handheld data transfer device, via infrared interface. The data file, on the SD card, is compatible with most spreadsheet software and can be graphed or archived using a PC. A visual basic program is also provided, which allows for the user’s custom input and automatically converts the temperature date to both an electronic datasheet and a graph via the user’s own Microsoft Excel software (see graph and datasheet example).
The Bluetooth connectivity features the ability to broadcast temperature information to a user supplied iPhone or Android device for a maximum range of 270 feet. The supplied phone app displays all of the information found on the screen of the pyrometer along with the ability to notify the user if the alarms are tripped or if you are disconnected from the pyrometer (see phone app example). This unique application allows the training/safety officer to be away from the area where the pyrometer is installed, while still being able to monitor the temperatures within the burn rooms.
The Scout with Bluetooth is powered by six c-cell batteries. The included handheld data transfer device requires one 9-volt battery.
The Scout has provisions to connect to optional external audible/visual alarms and the cellular texting alarm.
