Customizing the Output Data File
The Product_Number, Product_Name and Product_EAN fields can be customized so that multiple
Tec Pens can be used and all will have different names in their data files. The TecPen can be
further customized by selecting different “recipes” from the menu depending on the job.
To get started, you need to modify a file named
Rezepte.csv
loaded on in TechPen’s internal memory.
The file can be downloaded via USB, modified and uploaded, or you can create a new Rezepte.csv file
in any spreadsheet program that can save a .csv file. The required format is:
A
B
C
1
100ABC
Scanner1
12345
2
200DEF
Scanner2
67890
The 3 alpha-numeric fields (do not use commas) in the table will replace the Product_Number,
Product_Name and Product_EAN fields in your output data files. By default, the first row will always be
loaded when the TecPen is turned on. If you want to select a different recipe, you must do so from the
menu options after you turn the TecPen on and before you start collecting data.
Zero Point Adjustment
The TecPen uses 100% 5.0 pure nitrogen gas for zero adjustment. To calibrate the TecPen, it must
be first be purged of any remaining gas from previous use by running the pump for several seconds
until the device is filled with pure nitrogen. Follow the steps below:
1. Connect the TecPen to pure nitrogen at 1L/min flow and perform 2 measurements
to insure the device is completely devoid of oxygen.
2. Press and hold the START button, then press the SAVE button until the calibration
screen appears.
3. A screen will appear with the text "Recalibration 0%?" followed by "NO".
4. Press SAVE to switch to "YES".
5. If "NO" is selected, the operation is aborted.
6. If "YES" is selected, let the unit calibrate for at least 5 minutes.
7. Hold the the SAVE button until the screen shows “recalibrated.” The oxygen level on the
screen should now show 0.00%. If not, set the zero point again.

IMPORTANT!
Zero point adjustment may only be carried out with class 5.0 or purer nitrogen or the quality of the
oxygen measurement results cannot be guaranteed.
After zero point adjustment the original factory values are overwritten. If the adjustment has not been
carried out incorrectly, the original factory values can be restored by following the instructions on
