CurveX 3 Basic protection 

─

 using the insulation box 

The data logger itself may not exceed a temperature of 60

°

C (140

°

F). Since the logger is used 

inside high-temperature curing ovens, the CurveX 3 Basic thermal barrier system is used to 
protect it. The CurveX 3 Basic thermal barrier box protects the data logger from the high 
outside temperatures.  
Either a single bracket or a heat absorber can be used to increase the heat resistance. The 
heat absorber contains material that absorbs the energy that penetrates the box. 
 

N.B. Prior to run any oven temperature recording, it is very important that both the insulation box 
and the heat absorber temperatures are below 20

°

C (68

°

F) before the system is sent through the 

oven. Always refer to the insulation box datasheet for the maximum time and temperature use.

Preparing for measurement 

Step 1. 

Make sure the box is at room temperature.

Step 2. 

Place the CurveX 3 Basic data logger, with the probes already connected, 
inside the box. 

Step 3. 

Lead the probe cables over the gasket and edge of the box at the cable 
outlet point. 

Step 4. 

Start the logger.

Step 5. 

Mount the cover on the box and make sure the stainless steel edge slides 
a few millimeters over the box on all sides. Also check whether the cutout 
of the cable outlet of the cover is facing the same cutout in the box and 
whether the probe cables are positioned properly. 

Step 6. 

Tighten the cover with the four latches and check again whether the box 
is properly closed on all sides. 

The system is now ready to be sent through the oven. Use the grip to 
hang the box, if necessary. 
 
The isolation box has a ferrous steel plate on top, which can be used for 
mounting the magnetic probes while transporting the set.
