The IRTD is a high accuracy traceable temperature standard probe used as part of the Kaye Validation systems for calibrating sensors. During sensor calibration / verifications, sensors are compared against the IRTD and offsets are automatically calculated and stored. The broad temperature range from -196 to 420°C, enables it to be used in virtually all temperature validation applications.

The IRTD is an integral part of Kaye’s automated sensor calibration system and communicates directly with all Kaye Validation systems. With an accuracy of +/- 0.025, the IRTD temperature standard probe provides a 4 to 1 ratio for calibrating sensors to 0.100°C.

The temperature standard probe can be used for confirming the accuracy of other temperature devices. For this purpose, Kaye has developed IRTDWin™ software. The IRTDWin™ software is one convenient interface screen lets you track probe stability, numerically and graphically, and confirm system accuracy.

See real time data of your IRTD using the calibration interface and the Kaye IRTD Console software. The calibration interface connects directly to your computer using USB and to up to two IRTDs. The software immediate shows the temperature of the IRTDs with an accurate resolution to the thousandths degree. The interface is simple, easy to use, and does not need a power source, as it is powered by the computer.

How to Change Battery and O-Ring on ValProbe RT Data loggers

When your battery needs a replacement on your ValProbe RT data logger, there’s no need to send it back to replace it. We’ve designed our loggers with the customer in mind, making it very easy to replace the battery in the field. Installing a new battery will not void the warranty on any ValProbe RT, as long as the battery is replaced the proper way according to the instructions below.

Kaye’s ValProbe RT and ValProbe Standard data loggers were designed with unmatched battery life in mind by using a 3.6V lithium battery. When working in extremely low temperatures, you can also install a larger, AA-sized 3.6V battery to give your ValProbe RT extended battery life. To ensure your ValProbe RTs function properly, only use batteries supplied by Kaye, (product number M3205 for ½ AA 3.6V) or (product number 200-1001 for AA 3.6V). Using other batteries that are not from Kaye may cause the loggers to void the warranty, can shorten the life of the ValProbe RT, or cause internal issues.

Each time you replace your battery, we also recommend replacing the o-ring. Battery replacement kits can be purchased from Kaye and include the new battery, o-ring, and sealant.

Product Number for ½ AA 3.6V Kit: V2568
