It is an all too common paradox: you need to capture transient events at a high sample rate but the events of interest are erratically spread over a long period of time. The PRTrans1000 is the pressure recorder to solve your problems. It samples up to 100Hz (10ms) but it will only trigger on pressure limits that you set beforehand. You can start the trigger on high and/or low thresholds and end the trigger after either a chosen number of samples, or when the signal crosses over your stop threshold. The device can record up to 255 events and take as many as 262,143 pressure samples. The recorder also shows up to 32 samples of “pre-trigger” data so you might learn what caused the trigger in the first place. The PRTrans1000 is a battery operated unit with a standard 1/4” NPT for easy coupling to your pressure systems. It is also completely submersible and the stainless steel sensor can measure the pressure of most common fluids and gasses. The non-volatile memory will retain your valuable data even if the user-replaceable battery becomes discharged. The PRTrans1000: your solution to the transient pressure problem.
Product Note
1000 Series: Getting Started
To access the COM Port for the interface cable, unscrew the key-ring end cap. Ensure the end cap is screwed on tightly before deploying the data logger.
Pressure Sensor
To use the pressure sensor for gauge measurements, screw the ¼ in male NPT fitting into the pipe to be measured with a 9/16 in wrench. The NPT fitting can be used for absolute and submersible applications, but in those cases it is preferable to use the submersible fitting.
Submergibility
The PRTrans1000 is fully submergible and is rated IP68. It can be placed in environments with up to 230 feet (70 m) of water.
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the PRTrans1000. The o-rings ensure a tight seal and prevent liquid from entering the inside of the device. Please refer to the application note “O-Rings 101: Protecting Your Data”, found on the MadgeTech website, for information on how to prevent O-ring failure.
Trigger Setting
The PRTrans1000 records based off user configured trigger settings. Select Trigger Settings from the Device Menu: Start Device or Identify Device and Read Status. Trigger formats are available in Window or Two Point mode. Window allows for one range of pressure monitoring and two Point Mode allows for a high trigger and a low trigger. Refer to the PRTrans1000 and PRTrans1000IS Trigger Settings Video for instructions on how to configure Trigger Settings.
