Resetting empties the logger’s memory and prepares
it to receive fresh data. NB This is not necessary if:
• You previously selected single-run mode and wish to
use the same collection parameters, or
• You previously selected multiple-run mode and have
performed nine or fewer runs.
Connect the logger to the PC and reset the logger
with Insight.

to start when
Transducer
Interface is
plugged into
MemoryPaq, or
when temperature
rises to a given
level.
Select sample
interval.
GREEN: OK
YELLOW: Caution
RED: Recharge battery
Check battery status.
SmartPaq gives
instant quality
assurance on
removal from
the oven. Click to
enable and to set
pass/fail criteria.
You may download after each profile run (single-run
mode) or perform up to 10 runs before downloading
them all (multiple-run).
Assemble the system
• Connect all thermo couples to
the Transducer Interface.
• Plug Transducer
Interface into
the MemoryPaq,
and check the
status LEDs
(see last page).
WARNING
All thermocouples must be plugged into the
Transducer Interface before the Transducer
Interface is attached to the MemoryPaq.
• Place logger into heatsink in the thermal
barrier.
• Fit the barrier
lid and secure its
catches with the
locking pins, if
fitted.
Collect data
• Attach probes to the product or
test-piece.
• Send the system through the oven
and collect at exit.
WARNING
Wear heat-resistant gloves.
• Remove logger from the barrier and leave
to cool.
• Disconnect the Transducer Interface and
MemoryPaq, and check SmartPaq LED for
pass/fail.
If using multiple-run mode, repeat steps
3 and 4 to perform a maximum of 10 runs.
