Refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms, and other temperature-controlled storage areas often require continuous temperature monitoring rather than occasional manual checks.By connecting temperature sensors to a Microedge data logger, temperatures can be recorded automatically, viewed in real time, and monitored remotely through a PC or web browser. Alarm thresholds can also be configured to help identify temperatures that move outside the desired range.This Application Note shows several practical ways to build a remote temperature monitoring system using Microedge data loggers and software. 1. Application Typical applications include:RefrigeratorsFreezersWalk-in coolersCold roomsFood storage areasLaboratory refrigeratorsPharmaceutical storageEnvironmental chambersTemperature-controlled warehousesA typical monitoring system consists of:Temperature Sensor → Data Logger → Network → Monitoring Software → Browser / PCThe data logger records temperature continuously while the monitoring software provides access to current and historical data. 2. Choosing the Temperature Sensor The most appropriate sensor depends on the temperature range and installation.ThermocouplesThermocouples are use...
