4 or 8 Multi-purpose inputs
The Squirrel 450/850 series is a cost effective portable data logger with a maximum of 4 or 8 inputs. In common with its bigger brother, the Squirrel 1000 series data logger, it is equipped with impressive specifications, long battery life and a three year guarantee. Models 451 and 851 have 4 or 8 universal inputs respectively, configurable for voltage, current and temperature for both thermocouple and thermistor sensors. In addition a serial interface is available for special applications, including Vaisala weather sensors WMT52 & WXT520.
Common Features
All models feature panel mounted controls (except the 401) and a 2 line, 32 character LCD readout for setting up, monitoring and reading recorded events on the logger. Resolution is 12 bit with standard thermistor, thermocouple and DC voltage or current inputs. Two sensor power outputs are available to power external sensors – such as humidity probes.
EU Range
In addition “EU” range is standard, enabling the logger to independently rescale each input to a user defined engineering unit, e.g. humidity can be displayed as 0 to 100% RH, permitting quick and unambiguous understanding of the readings on the display.
Internal memory
The logger is fitted as standard with 250K of memory, backed up by a lithium battery, and at least 250,000 locations are available for data storage. Note that this refers to data storage, not bytes, as 2 bytes of conventional memory are used for every reading. Larger memory can be field fitted by a competent engineer as an option

*Weather
The Vaisala weather sensors are:
WMT52 – wind speed and wind velocity
WXT520 – as WMT52, with rainfall, barometric pressure, RH and temperature.
Note: Vaisala sensors can be powered by the logger batteries/supply.
Eltek can supply the Vaisala sensors if required.
