Technical background:
The philosophy behind NeuLog’s plug and play technology is based on each sensor’s
ability to store its own data due to an internal flash memory chip and micro-controller
in each plastic NeuLog body. This technology allows the sensor to collect and then
store the digital data in the correct scientific units (
o C, o F, Lux, %, ppm, for example).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in software in the logger can be
upgraded for free at any time using the provided firmware update.
The NeuLog infrared sensor works on the phenomenon known as “black body
radiation”. As molecules are heated up, they move much more rapidly and in turn put
off more infrared radiation.
Inside the infrared sensor is a detector called a thermopile, which collects infrared light
directed from the external lens. As the thermopile heats up an electrical current which
flows through it encounters more resistance which scales with temperature changes.
The resistance can easily be measured and then calculated back into a temperature
value.
Maintenance and storage:
 Never submerge the NeuLog plastic body in any liquid.
 Do not allow liquid into the infrared temperature sensor’s body.
 After use, gently wipe away any foreign material from the infrared
temperature sensor.
 Store in a box at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
Warranty:
We promise to deliver our sensor free of defects in materials and workmanship for a
period of 3 years from the date of purchase. Our warranty does not cover damage of
the product caused by improper use, abuse, or incorrect storage. Sensors with a shelf
life such as ion selective proves have a warranty of 1 year. Should you need to act
upon the warranty please contact your distributor. Your sensor will be repaired or
replaced.
Thank you for using NeuLog!
Flexible, simple, fast, forward thinking.
