CT485B
    The new Model CT485B completely self-contained temperature/relative humidity recorder is microprocessor based to accurately measure, indicate and record temperature and relative humidity.
    This rugged unit comes standard with alarms. They contain a single, integral relay contact which closes in response to an alarm condition. Simultaneous high and low alarm points for temperature and relative humidity are user selectable. When the current conditions exceed any of the preset values, the 2 Amp relay contact closes and an audible alarm sounds.
    Flipping open a hinged front panel door permits access to the power switch and controlling functions of the recorder. The door comes with a locking mechanism. The user may select 1, 7 or 32 day operations, program the instrument to record in °C or °F, and access alarm and calibration controls or max/min functions.
    A separate 3-position switch next to the digital display selects a °C,°F or %RH readout. The chart drive is stepper controlled for precision, and a unique magnetic retaining knob eliminates the possibility of paper tear.
    Calibration of alarm models is digital, and a user may make calibration adjustments in the field using the convenient panel pushbuttons. An optional calibration lockout cover prevents unauthorised changing of calibration codes. A stabilising arm provides added stability for benchtop use. The arm conveniently rotates under the unit for wall mounting. Recessed rear mounting slots and a wall template enable easy wall mounting. A decorative cover for the stabilising arm is supplied for wall mount use. A standard 220 Vac power adaptor is supplied for continuous long-term operation, along with four D-cell batteries for backup power or field use. Each unit includes 1.8m of cable for remotely mounting the sensor. A sensor holder clip is provided.
    Units come standard with two chart light bulbs. When using the ac power adaptor, these bulbs provide easy viewing of the chart in dimly lit conditions. A switch is provided to allow the chart lights to be turned on or off.
