Product Notes
LEDs
- Green LED blinks: 10 seconds to indicate logging and 15 seconds to indicate delay start
mode.
- Red LED blinks: 10 seconds to indicate low battery and/or memory and 1 second to
indicate an alarm condition.
Password Protection
An optional password may be programmed into the device to restrict access to
configuration options. Data may be read out without the password
Multiple Start/Stop Mode Activation
- To start device: Press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds, the green LED will flash
during this time. The device has started logging.
- To stop the device: Press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds, the red LED will flash
during this time. The device has stopped logging.
Alarm Settings
Programmable high and low limits; alarm is activated when temperature reaches or
exceeds set limits.
Wiring the Data Logger
Wiring Options
For 4-wire RTD probes, connect the four lead wires to your RTD
logger as shown in the figure.
For 3-wire RTD probes, short inputs 3 and 4 together, then connect
the lead wires to inputs 1, 2 and 3.
For 2-wire RTD probes, short inputs 3 and 4 together and inputs 1
and 2 together, then connect the RTD lead wires to inputs 2 and 3.
Warning: Note the polarity instructions. Do not attach wires to the wrong terminals.
100
Ω
, 2 or 4 wire RTD probes are recommended for the most
accurate performance. Most 100
Ω
, 3 wire RTD probes will work,
but MadgeTech cannot guarantee the accuracy. To determine
whether or not the 3-wire RTD probe will work, the resistance
between the two same colored wires should be less than 1
Ω
.
(Note: Please contact the manufacturer of the RTD probe for questions on the resistance)

Product User Guide
Device Operation
Starting the data logger
- Once the software is installed and running, plug the interface cable into the data logger.
- Connect the USB end of the interface cable into an open USB port on the computer.
- The device will appear in the Connected Devices list, highlight the desired data logger.
- For most applications, select “
Custom Start
” from the menu bar and choose the desired
start method, reading rate and other parameters appropriate for the data logging
application and click “
Start
”. (
“
Quick Start
” applies the most recent custom start options,
“
Batch Start
” is used for managing multiple loggers at once, “
Real Time Start
” stores the
dataset as it records while connected to the logger.
)
- The status of the device will change to “
Running
”, “
Waiting to Start
” or “
Waiting to
Manual Start
”, depending upon your start method.
- Disconnect the data logger from the interface cable and place it in the environment to
measure.
Note: The device will stop recording data when the end of memory is reached or the device is stopped. At this point the
device cannot be restarted until it has been re-armed by the computer.
Downloading data from a data logger
- Highlight the data logger in the Connected Devices list. Click “
Stop
” on the menu bar.
- Once the data logger is stopped, with the logger highlighted, click “
Download
”. You will
be prompted to name your report.
- Downloading will offload and save all the recorded data to the PC.
Device Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Materials:
Small Phillips Head Screwdriver
