Compost Data Logger
 

 


The REOTEMP CDL is the perfect choice for meeting the time and temperature criteria for EPA Class A composting or USDA organic NOP standards. The battery-powered probe automatically records temperatures at intervals of up to two hours, storing up to 16,000 temperature readings; the LCD always displays the last stored reading. Data sets can be downloaded via serial cable from the probe to a laptop in the field, or to a desktop computer in the office. The data can then be graphed and printed using the Compost Lab™ software for Class A certification.

The rugged stainless steel probe, with its weatherproof head, is built to withstand the corrosive conditions of composting. The full system includes the data-logging probe, a PC-link cable and the Compost Lab software. It is ideal for new or existing commercial compost operations and research programs. The Data Probe will keep a watchful eye on temperatures in any kind of compost system.

Compost Lab Software

The Compost Lab eliminates the work of tabulating and graphing time and temperature data. It allows you to easily graph, view and print the information recorded by the Data Probe. The software allows graph smoothing and data-set trimming to allow you to adjust the range and resolution of any graph. And it can send commands to the Data Probe to clear memory, start a new run or change the sampling period or probe-ID label. The software is compatible with PCs running Microsoft Windows® or Windows® CE operating systems. The Compost Lab software is free with every Data Probe purchase.
