Congratulations on the purchase of your HHTFO Series thermometer product! Your new temperature-
sensing instrument will soon allow you to take full advantage of the benefits inherent to fiber optic sensing
technology. It offers accurate and reliable temperature measurements, combined with extraordinary
insensitivity to EMI/RFI, high voltage insulation and disturbance free sensing due to the non-electrical nature
of the sensor element used.
Not only does the HHTFO Series of products gives access to reliable measurements, but it also offers a
simple user interface that makes the technology easy to use. Moreover, no special calibration is required
when changing the fiber optic sensor elements.
The thermometer is packaged in a small hand-held package, which is ideally suited for portable applications.
This model does not feature an analog output option; the Omega model FOB is recommended if this option is
required.
The standard configuration is offered with an RS-232 interface. In addition, a large LCD graphical display
makes it easy to see the temperature for one channel supported by the HHTFO, either in Celsius (
o
C) or in
Fahrenheit (
o
F), even in dark areas (by activating the back light); it also includes a powerful but simple
keypad that gives the user access to all built-in features; these standard features are great for laboratory and
field applications. Furthermore, a convenient data-logging feature is included; logging is done directly to a
standard MMC or SD flash card.
An optional software package, FOB100-SOFT, makes your thermometer even more useful. It is easy to use,
and allows the user to easily monitor even multiple thermometers at the same time, and to perform easy data
logging. PC compatible.
