The OM-CP-IRTC101A is a battery powered infrared thermocouple based temperature data logger. It provides nearly instantaneous, non-contact temperature measurements, making it a perfect solution for applications such as surface temperature recording and monitoring moving objects.

The OM-CP-IRTC101A features a 10 year battery life, 1 second reading rate, a multiple start/stop function, ultra-high speed download capability, 500,000 reading storage capacity, optional memory wrap, battery life indicator, optional password protection, programmable high-low alarms and more.

The OM-CP-IRTC101A was designed with our customers in mind. OMEGA offers free ﬁrmware upgrades for the life of the product so that data loggers already deployed in the ﬁeld can grow with new technological developments.

Units do not need to be returned to the factory for upgrades. The user can do this from any PC.

This is an all-in-one compact, portable, easy to use device that will measure and record up to 500,000 measurements per channel. The storage medium is non-volatile solid state memory, providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged. The device can be started and stopped directly from your computer and its small size allows it to ﬁt almost anywhere.

The OM-CP-IRTC101A makes data retrieval quick and easy. Simply plug it into an empty COM or USB port and our user-friendly software does the rest.
