TruAmp Logger
What is the TruAmp Logger?
The TruAmp Logger is a low-cost ion-exchange membrane life logger. TruAmp measures the amp-hours delivered to an anode cell over an extended time period to estimate its membrane design life-span.
The pre-programmed Logger provides E-coat tank operators an objective means to determine when an anode cell’s ion-exchange membrane will reach the end of its useful life. Anode cell replacement can be scheduled, as opposed to emergency ordering.
How does TruAmp benefit our setup?
TruAmp Logger allows you to forecast spare part purchases
Provides you with enough lead time to avoid unscheduled shutdown or emergency orders
Eliminates guesswork regarding when the ion-exchange membrane needs to be changed
Cost effective and practical

Features & Specs
-
• Wire centering devices for smaller wires
• Self-contained standard CR2032 battery and microprocessor -
• Ion-Exchange membrane useful life is estimated with algorithm formulated over 35+ years of observing anode cell operation and is based upon the surface of the anode cell
• Small size fits easily on the electric cable lead, and uses a Hall Effect sensor to measure current
• Fits all wire sizes up to a #2 cable, 13 mm (0.51 in.) O.D. max and anode cells with an ion-exchange membrane surface area up to 1.5m^2 (16.1 SF)
• Has capacity to measure up to 125 amps and anode cells up to 1.5m²
• Battery voltage is monitored by separate LEDs
• Not reusable -
• Compatible with Box Cells, C Cells, and Tubular Anode Cells
• LEDs illuminate with the push of a button
• Even after all the LEDs have been exhausted, the E-coat operator can test for electric current passing through the anode cell by using a hand-held ammeter.
• UFS recommends installing a TruAmp100 Logger on each brand new anode cell/membrane shell/membrane change.
• The TruAmp100 Logger is a suitable option when budget constraints do not allow the purchase of a New Generation Anode Monitor - (PLC Based System that provides real time current data plus tallies amp hours). -

• Dimensions: 5.5 x 3.8 x 1.27cm (2.16x1.5.5in)
• Cable Passageway: 13.5mm ID -
• Each of the 5 LED’s represent 20% of membrane design life
• When only one LED remains lit, it’s time to schedule replacement of the anode cell
• When the last red LED flashes, less than 10% of life remains
