The HiTemp140 Series comprises high-temperature data loggers designed for use in demanding environments, including autoclaves. These rugged, high-precision devices are constructed from stainless steel, making them submersible and capable of withstanding temperatures up to +140 °C (+284 °F) indefinitely in both wet and dry applications. Each data logger boasts an accuracy of ±0.1.

Function Description

The primary function of the HiTemp140 data loggers is to accurately measure and record temperature over extended periods. They are equipped with non-volatile solid-state memory, ensuring that recorded data is retained even if the battery becomes discharged. Each device can store up to 65,536 readings, with each reading date and time-stamped for precise tracking.

A key feature of the HiTemp140 Series is its rigid external probe, which extends the temperature measurement capabilities up to +260 °C (+500 °F). Custom probe lengths, up to 7 inches, are available to suit various application needs. This allows for versatile deployment in different setups where direct contact with the measurement point is required.

The data loggers are fully submersible and rated IP68, meaning they can be placed in environments with up to 230 feet (70 m) of water without compromising their functionality. This makes them ideal for applications requiring monitoring in liquid or high-humidity conditions.

Usage Features

Operating the HiTemp140 data loggers involves a straightforward process facilitated by MadgeTech's software.

Connecting and Starting the Data Logger:

Software Installation: Users first need to download and install the MadgeTech software from madgetech.com, following the provided instructions in the Installation Wizard.
Docking Station Setup: The IFC400 or IFC406 docking station (sold separately) is connected to an open USB port on the computer using the interface cable, and its drivers are installed.
Device Connection: The data logger is then placed into the docking station. Upon connection, the device automatically appears under "Connected Devices" within the software.
Starting Data Logging: For most applications, users select "Custom Start" from the menu bar. This allows them to choose the desired start method (e.g., "Quick Start" for recent settings, "Batch Start" for multiple loggers, "Real Time Start" for live data recording), reading rate, and other parameters before clicking "Start." The device's status will then change to "Running," "Waiting to Start," or "Waiting to Manual Start," depending on the chosen method.
Deployment: Once started, the data logger is disconnected from the interface cable and placed in the environment where temperature measurements are required.

The device is designed to stop recording data when its memory capacity is reached or when manually stopped, unless the user-selectable memory wrap feature is enabled. It cannot be restarted until it has been re-armed via the computer.

Downloading Data from a Data Logger:

Reconnection: To retrieve data, the logger is placed back into the docking station.
Stopping Recording: The data logger is highlighted in the "Connected Devices" list, and "Stop" is clicked on the menu bar.
Downloading: Once stopped and highlighted, "Download" is clicked. The software will then offload and save all recorded data to the PC.

Set Password:

For enhanced security, users can password-protect their devices to prevent unauthorized starting, stopping, or resetting. This feature is accessed through the device's "Properties" under the "General Tab" in the software. Users can enter and confirm a password, then select "OK."

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the HiTemp140 Series data loggers primarily involves battery replacement and periodic recalibration.

Battery Replacement:

The HiTemp140 uses an ER14250MR-145 battery.

Accessing the Battery: The bottom of the logger is unscrewed to remove the old battery.
Inserting New Battery: A new battery is placed into the logger. It is crucial to note the battery's polarity, ensuring the positive polarity points upward towards the probe. Incorrect insertion can lead to product inoperability or a potential explosion if exposed to high temperatures.
Securing the Cover: The cover is then screwed back onto the logger.

Recalibration:

MadgeTech recommends annual recalibration for the HiTemp140 data loggers to ensure continued accuracy. Devices can be sent back to MadgeTech for calibration services by visiting madgetech.com.
