Data Loggers
REMOTE DATA LOGGING
Data Acquisition Networks is Australia’s leading supplier of remote data logging equipment.
Remote data loggers supplied by DAN enable routine data collection, routine consignment of data to a website for storage and viewing as well as alarms to nominated people when parameters being measured go outside pre-determined levels set by you.
With DAN remote data loggers a user can change reporting intervals over the Internet, change alarm points over the internet and add or delete personnel to whom alarm messages need to be sent.
DAN remote data loggers have high and low alarm points and the delay time set by you can avoid unnecessary alarms when parameters only momentarily go outside limits.

Wireless Data Logging System
The DAN GUARDIAN wireless data logging system uses wireless base station data loggers to receive and store transmitted values from up to 50 battery powered temperature and humidity sensors.
With the AB500 and AB1000 base stations it is possible to log readings without a computer connected. Each sensor refreshes its value every minute.
Data can be retrieved from the base stations via USB using the software provided. Alternatively, the AB1000 can be connected to a private network and accessed via its onboard web server.

TEMPERATURE MONITORING
Temperature monitoring remains the single biggest use of industrial monitoring equipment. Whilst more and more people every day are realising the benefits of monitoring everything they do, temperature seems critical to a great many industries.
Perishable food can develop microbial contamination if appropriate storage temperatures are not maintained. Pharmaceutical products can lose effectiveness and blood and other ‘medical needs’ are temperature sensitive.
The consequences of temperature failure in any of these applications can be very significant and potentially fatal.
DAN provides a range of temperature monitoring equipment and has a product to meet and exceed your needs, no matter what industry you are in. DAN equipment is supported locally and cost effective.

Temperature Recording
Why is Temperature so critical to so many items?
Storage temperatures are critical to items such as food and blood. Food for example can have two sorts of temperature abuse.
QUALITY: The quality of some foods is severely lessened if storage temperatures are not maintained at the correct levels. Some foods are not freeze/thaw stable meaning if their storage temperature is too severe and they freeze, they will not have the same consistency in use after being thawed. Some made-up gravies and sauces are good examples. Conversely, some food that should be kept frozen will deteriorate if allowed to thaw and then re-frozen. Ice cream is the classical example used by most people to illustrate this temperature problem. Ice cream is produced with over-run or aeration and then immediately frozen. If allowed to thaw or melt the aeration collapses and when re-frozen the product does not have the same consistency and mouth feel most consumers associate with a perfect ice cream product.
SAFETY: Of greater importance are the safety issues for food not stored at correct temperatures. The degree of safety concern can vary from food type to food type depending upon a number of factors but specifically depending upon the nature of the food and its ‘friendliness’ to bacteria. Tomato sauce for example is an acid-based product that is an unfriendly environment for bacteria. If left unrefrigerated, tomato sauce will suffer from what is commonly referred to as ‘black-neck’ but the product itself is unlikely to carry and grow high levels of harmful bacteria on the basis the acid naturally occuring in tomatoes provides a hostile environment for bacteria. Milk, fresh seafood and chicken however are examples of food products that provide an environment conducive to the growth of bacterial or microbial contamination. At certain temperatures food products can incubate bacteria resulting in rapid growth of sometimes deadly toxins.
Temperature recording for food storage is an essential part of any food safety or HACCP plan. Not only does temperature recording provide a permanent record of when temperature abuse occurs but if abuse occurs it is the relationship between time and temperature that becomes critical in determining the suitability of the food for human consumption.
Temperature recording for food is also critical at the cooking or re-heating stage where the core or deep-meat temperature of the food needs to reach certain temperatures to eliminate bacteria in some instances.
Data Acquisition Networks (DAN) is one of the very few companies that provide a means for routine and continuous collection of data records and in the event of a mishap, provides a record of both time and temperature.

Food Safety
For decades HACCP has been the accepted international standard by which food safety is assured. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point requires the identification in a process of potential hazards and then a system of control. One foundation stone of HACCP is measurement and record-keeping.Data Acquisition Networks has developed a range of products that automate collection of HACCP data and also facilitate manual data entry by operators where it is appropriate and/or necessary. All data is transferred to a data vault where it is stored and where it is available for review by those provided with appropriate Passwords and User Identification.DAN data collection units have become the standard by which all other data collection devices for HACCP are measured.
