Hobo Temperature Logging Starter Kit
Designed to help reduce energy costs, the new HOBO Temperature Logger Kit combines a HOBO Data Logger — a compact, battery-powered temperature recording device — and accompanying software that allows you to view heat and AC activity on your home PC or Mac.
The new HOBO Temperature Logger Kit stems from the need of many homeowners who want to go beyond free home energy audits and really understand their energy usage.
It's all about giving homeowners greater control and allowing them to focus in on the real opportunities for home energy savings.
The HOBO is even easier to use than a programmable thermostat. An average homeowner with basic computer skills can set up and activate the HOBO within minutes. Then, it's just a matter of disconnecting the HOBO from the computer and placing it in areas throughout the home to be monitored.
Once data has been collected for a certain period of time, accompanying software converts the data into time-stamped graphs that enable homeowners to see what was happening and when. The visual data, is the key to seeing usage habits and discovering problems.
The minute the graph pops up on your screen, you'll be able to see if your thermostat settings need to be adjusted based on how early the heat comes on in the morning or turns off at night. It can also tell you if, for example, how well temperature is balanced from room-to-room, and if your refrigerator temperature settings are too low. There are so many opportunities to reduce consumption that homeowners never get to see without real data."
The HOBO U10 Kit, which includes a HOBO U10 temperature data logger, HOBOware® Lite software, and USB interface cable

Carel Anti Sweat Controller
(Cat No. 146370)
The Carel ACC is an innovative anti-sweat controller designed to control the anti-sweat heaters that prevent the formation of condensate on cold surfaces, such as the glass doors of vertical refrigerated display cabinets. In a supermarket, the power supply to the anti-sweat heaters accounts for a significant percentage of the total energy consumption.
ACC, using an ambient temperature and humidity probe and a sensor that measures the temperature on the door of the display case, calculates the dewpoint and operates the anti-sweat heaters only when strictly necessary. The temperature and humidity are monitored continuously: when the ambient conditions change, ACC automatically calculates the new heater control set point and heats the glass so as to ensure the temperature is above the dewpoint, thus preventing the formation of condensate. and consequently brings significant energy saving and reductions in running costs.
• Optimises energy used
• Ensures doors remain free of condensate
• Power supply 230 VAC
• Analogue Output: 1 phase control 0–230 VAC, 500mA–8A
