Operating Procedures: PhoenixTM PTM1-006-Compact (Trailing Method)

1. Preparation

  • Battery: Install two (2) fresh AA Alkaline batteries to ensure consistent power throughout the process.

  • Hardware Inspection: Verify that the Anodized Aluminum chassis and all thermocouple probes are in perfect condition and free from damage.

  • Software Setup: Configure the sampling interval to 1 second (or as required) within the software to ensure high-resolution data capture.

2. Setup

  • Probe Attachment: Securely fasten the probe tips to the Critical Points on the test product.

  • Logger Positioning: Place the data logger in a safe zone where the ambient temperature remains below 80°C (e.g., at the furnace entrance or a designated safety area).

  • Cable Management: Organize the thermocouple leads to prevent tangling; ensure there is sufficient cable length to traverse the entire length of the furnace without restriction.

3. Execution

  • Start Recording: Press the start button and confirm the system status via the LED indicator.

  • The Process: Load the product into the furnace while carefully feeding the trailing cables to follow the product’s movement.

  • Completion: Once the product has fully exited the furnace, stop the recording and retrieve the equipment immediately.

4. Data Analysis

  • Download: Connect the logger via USB to transfer the recorded data into the Thermal View software.

  • Verification: Cross-check the recorded values against the ±0.3°C high-precision accuracy specified in the Calibration Certificate.

  • Reporting: Generate a comprehensive Heat Profile report compliant with international quality standards, including CQI-12.


💡 Pro-Tips & Warnings:

  • Cable Tension: Monitor the trailing leads closely; ensure they are not pulled taut during the process to avoid damage to the connectors or inaccurate readings.

  • Surface Maintenance: Always wipe the Anodized Aluminum surface clean after each use. This prevents chemical buildup and significantly extends the lifespan of the instrument.

Operating Procedures: PhoenixTM PTM1-006-Compact (Thru-Process Method)

1. Preparation

  • Battery: Verify that two (2) AA Alkaline batteries have sufficient power for the entire duration of the run.

  • Thermal Barrier: Inspect the condition of the heat shield and the silicone gaskets. Ensure they are clean and free from tears to maintain a perfect thermal seal.

  • Software Setup: Configure the sampling interval to 5 seconds and verify available memory (the device supports up to 400,000 data points).

2. Setup & Assembly

  • Probes: Attach the thermocouple probes securely to the test product and connect them to the PTM1-006 Compact logger.

  • Protection: Place the logger inside the Thermal Barrier. Cross-check that the oven temperature and cycle time align with the barrier’s specifications. (Recommended maximum operating temperature: 250°C).

Thermal Duration Reference Table:

Oven Temperature (°C)Thermal Duration (Hours)
100°C7.5 Hours
150°C3.5 Hours
200°C2.2 Hours
250°C1.6 Hours
  • Heatsink: If using a model equipped with a heatsink, ensure it is in normal condition (not swollen or deformed) before use.

  • Sealing: Secure the latches of the barrier tightly. Ensure the thermocouple leads are neatly positioned and not pinched or crushed by the lid.

3. Execution

  • Start Recording: Press the ‘Start’ button and verify the LED status before closing the thermal barrier.

  • Through Oven: Place the assembled thermal barrier onto the conveyor or alongside the product as it enters the oven.

  • Monitoring: Closely monitor the residence time of the equipment inside the oven to ensure it does not exceed the rated Thermal Duration.

4. Recovery & Analysis

  • Retrieval: Upon exiting the oven, always wear heat-resistant gloves to retrieve the barrier. (Caution: The external surface will be extremely hot).

  • Cooling Protocol: Remove the data logger from the thermal barrier immediately to prevent “heat soak” (post-process heat transfer). Allow the barrier to cool down naturally in the air. (Never submerge the hot barrier in water).

  • Data Analysis: Connect the logger via USB to download data into the analysis software. Verify the results against CQI-9, CQI-12, or AMS2750 standards using the high-precision ± 0.3°C.


💡 Critical Maintenance Tips:

  • Surface Cleaning: After each cycle, wipe the Anodized Aluminum surface of the logger to remove any chemical residue or dust.

  • Inspection: Always perform a visual inspection of the Thermal Barrier and gaskets after cooling to ensure the system is ready for the next cycle.
