Applications

• Profile exhaust temperature of
on-road vehicles and off-road
equipment

The ETR101A is an Exhaust Temperature
Profiling Kit designed to profile the exhaust
temperature of on-road vehicles and off-road
equipment, including tractor trailers, buses,
trucks over 14,000 lbs., waste water vehicles,
and sweepers. The ETR101A comes assembled
and includes a data logger, temperature
sensor (thermocouple type K), weatherproof
enclosure, interface cable, hex screwdriver
and software. A ¼” NPT coupler and a
compression fitting is required for assembling, but not included.

Setup is fast and easy. The ¼” NPT coupler is attached to the exhaust pipe; the use of a compression
fitting allows for the thermocouple to be placed directly in the exhaust stream, providing for highly
accurate profiling. The data logger, which is contained within the weatherproof enclosure, is then
mounted to the vehicle.

Using the MadgeTech software, the logger is programmed to record for a set period, generally three
to five days. Data is stored in the data logger, and is downloadable at any time via a pc or laptop
computer. The complete temperature profile is then provided to the diesel particulate filter (DPF)
manufacturer, aiding in the selection of the correct DPF for the exhaust system.

Many DPF manufacturers, including Donaldson Corp., recommend the use of temperature profiling
equipment, such as the MadgeTech ETR101A, to aid in the selection of the appropriate diesel particulate
filter.

Alarm Delay: A cumulative alarm delay
may be set in which the device will activate
the alarm (via LED) only when the device
has recorded a user specified time duration
of data.

**Use of stainless steel braided thermocouples with the Waterbox101A may allow water to wick in
through the cable and cause damage to the data logger.
