1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
ADT260EX is an intrinsically safe pressure and temperature logger provided by Additel. It can be used in zone 0
environment and has an 8-channel combination capability, supports measurement and logging of pressure, temperature,
barometric pressure and electrical signals. It can keep 10 million records, display the trend curve, and support Bluetooth
communication. Powerful logging capability and high-level intrinsically safe make it widely used in ex-proof pipeline field
/container pressure test, air leak test, inlet and outlet pressure test of pump station, safety valve and ex-proof membrane
test, wellhead pressure test, pipeline filter test, differential pressure transmitter/flow computing test, as well as used in the
routine calibration of pressure devices.
