2 Datapaq Provides Profiling Solutions Since 1984, the name Datapaq has become synonymous with temperature profiling in the paint and powder coatings industry worldwide. With a reputation for accuracy, ease-of-use and reliability, Datapaq continues to set the industry standard for excellence. Datapaq is the preferred choice in temperature profiling and continues to provide systems that exceed the demands of the harshest thermal processes. The XL2 Solution... Datapaq continuously listens to the needs of its customers and their process demands. As these needs change, so do the solutions. Datapaq is proud to offer the XL2 as the latest generation of Oven Tracker systems... a robust, comprehensive, intelligent and easy-to-use oven temperature profiling system. Offering revolutionary new functions, the new XL2 ensures routine oven profiling is easier than it has ever been before. Real-Time Monitoring Use the XL2 system outside of your batch oven, enabling you to record data live, directly to your PC. Ideal for R&D work, IR repair oven testing and any batch cure process. Intelligent Data Logger... Designed with the customer in mind, the XL2 continues the Datapaq Oven Tracker tradition with its unique two-part data logger design. SmartPaq enables you to preprogram the MemoryPaq with your process pass/fail criteria, based on either Datapaq Value, Time at Temperature or Maximum Temperature. The intelligent XL2 data logger will indicate if your process is out of control immediately upon exit from the oven. At the oven exit, remove from the protective thermal barrier and check the indicator on the MemoryPaq. A green LED means a successful run, so you can continue with confidence. Red indicates a problem. Stop production until the profile data has been analyzed. Corrective action can then be taken to rectify any process problems. Intelligent multiple run capability allows complete consecutive profiling runs without downloading individually. This eliminates the need to return to the QA office between profiling runs, saving time and effort. A GREEN LIGHT TO... Quality Process control Productivity Reduced costs Thermal Protection you can trust... Datapaq has invested over twenty years of advanced thermal barrier development and now offers the most comprehensive range of barriers available in the industry. When sending an Oven XL2 temperature profiling system through your oven, you need absolute confidence that your data logger is protected from the harsh environment inside your oven process. The standard XL2 barrier, designed specifically for use on automotive paint lines, has a patented Silicone free construction, eliminating the worry of contamination issues and paint finish defects, and help you to provide the high quality you are constantly required to achieve. In addition to the standard XL2 barrier, Datapaq also provides a range of thermal barriers to suit other specialized process needs.

3 Measure your process data with confidence... The XL2 system provides a comprehensive range of thermocouple options to suit your process or product needs.
