Swiss technology company MSR Electronics GmbH introduces a logger with an LCD display into its universal range of mini dataloggers. The multifunctional MSR255 optionally measures temperature, humidity, pressure, light and 3-axis acceleration/attitude (incl. fast peak). It is equipped with an individually configurable 4-row backlit LCD display and the unit can be fitted with 4 analogue inputs.
5 sensors and 4 analogue inputs for greater flexibility
The full version of the MSR255 is equipped with four high-quality internal sensors that can be fitted optionally inside the case or connected externally using a cable. The available sensors are temperature, relative humidity, air pressure and light. In addition there is a sensitive sensor with fast peak function for measuring acceleration in all three axes. This allows the peak value to be recorded once a second, whilst making measurements of up to 1600 values per second per axis. The MSR 255 is therefore the ideal device for shock measurements. The additional four analogue inputs with alarm output and multiple output switching power supply turn the MSR255 into a universal datalogger for an almost unlimited range of applications. Its versatility makes this robust datalogger suitable for the most diverse documentation and monitoring tasks, for example in museums and galleries, the foodstuffs industry, facility management, the paper industry, the health sector and for scientific applications. Thanks to its large internal memory, which allows over two million measurement parameters to be stored, the unit is also eminently suitable for making long-term measurements.
Individually configurable display
The MSR255 has two operating keys. The easy-to-read backlit LCD display shows the current values of all measurement channels together with the battery status and further device information. The user may individually configure the four available views. Up to four display values can be defined for each of the views and users may select from all of the measurement channels, battery status, configurable limits and alarm values. The display has an energy-saving mode that is configurable using the PC software.

WatchDog 100 to Provide Low-Cost Environmental Monitoring with Relay Output Control |
At ITWatchDogs, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming product offering of the WatchDog 100. Available by August 2011, this innovative self-contained unit will present a low-cost solution for environmental monitoring with an input capacity of eight external sensors and an output of one NO / NC relay contact for triggering external devices like an auto-dialer. The unit comes equipped with an on-board temperature sensor and optional built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Like with all other ITWatchDogs environmental monitors, the WatchDog 100 allows users to keep an eye on remote conditions from a secure web interface and receive SNMP, E-mail, text message and voice call* alert notifications when user-adjustable thresholds are exceeded.
The web interface provides an overview of environmental measurements with real time sensor data. All measurements are logged allowing users to collect data for trending and capacity management. The WatchDog 100 offers flexible access rights and security settings with up to three access account levels. It offers secure access through the web and supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Up to 50 customizable alarms can be configured with alarm escalations per sensor.
The WatchDog 100 features four 0-5VDC / dry-contact analog inputs and one digital sensor port. Up to four additional digital sensors can be added using a standard splitter. A variety of optional plug-and-play sensors are available for use with the WatchDog 100 including but not limited to, temperature, humidity, airflow, water and smoke detection sensors, door position, power failure and more. One of the unique features of the WatchDog 100 is its relay contact port used to energize or de-energize an external device.
At just 1U high and approximately 1/2U wide, the WatchDog 100 is a compact solution perfect for tight installments. The WatchDog 100 is shipped with rack-mount brackets offering flexible wire management options.
Priced at just $279, the WatchDog 100 is the most cost-effective and reliable solution for monitoring environmental conditions in critical facilities including computer server rooms, network and telecom closets, traffic control boxes, laboratories and other areas requiring climate and power monitoring.
The WatchDog 100 carries the CE Mark for Low Voltage and Emissions Directives and FCC Part 15 Class A regulation.

New Data Logger Offers Cost-effective CO2 Monitoring
A dedicated CO2 data logger is the latest addition to the Tinytag range. This competitively priced unit (£325) is highly accurate and ideally suited to applications such as building monitoring.
Building on the Tinytag reputation for ease of use and reliability, the CO2 data logger can play a key role in helping to verify that a building’s ventilation system is performing correctly. The logger uses a self-calibrating infrared sensor to determine carbon dioxide concentrations, and to ensure high accuracy, the sensor compensates for the aging of the infrared source to ensure outstanding long term stability. The discreet unit is mains powered and designed to be positioned unobtrusively where required for effective monitoring throughout a building or installation. A flashing red LED light on the unit indicates if there has been an interruption to the power supply.
There is a growing awareness in the UK and throughout Europe of the need to monitor carbon dioxide levels within buildings to help determine indoor air quality, with recommended guidelines in place for specific premises such as schools. Monitoring CO2 levels enables the necessary steps to be taken to maintain optimum internal air quality, identifying under-ventilated areas – the source of most air quality complaints – and enabling corrective action to be taken for the comfort and wellbeing of those inside. Areas with poor ventilation can lead to a build-up in carbon dioxide levels which can cause reduced concentration levels in occupants and in some cases can lead to health problems. The logger will also help identify energy saving options in over-ventilated spaces.
Data from the CO2 logger is downloaded to a PC via a USB connection and viewed with the easy to use Tinytag Explorer software, with data clearly presented as graphs and tables. Users are able to set a desired upper ppm (parts per million) concentration limit which will trigger the flashing red LED light if this level is reached.
Two versions of the CO2 logger are available: the standard unit TGE-0010 (£325) is a 0-2000ppm version which is suitable for most building monitoring applications. For more specialised situations (where higher concetrations of CO2 can be found) a 0-5000ppm version TGE-0011 (£350) is available.
