Product Notes
Pressure Sensor
The PRTC110 measures differential pressure in the range of 0 to 2inH2O or 0 to 5inH20,
depending upon the range purchased. The device is also equipped with one thermocouple
input. Two 0.080” diameter pressure ports are located on the side of the device. The
pressure ports will accept 1/16”ID flexible rubber tubing with up to 5/32”OD. The tubing
can be connected to two different pressure locations in which the device will measure the
difference between the two pressure’s.
LEDs
Once started, the LED will flash at the selected reading rate to indicate that the device is
running.

Device Operation
Connecting and 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.

Product Information Card
- 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
- Connect the logger to the interface cable.
- 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
Replacement Battery (LTC-7PN)
- Puncture the center of the back label with the screw driver and unscrew the enclosure.
- Remove the battery by pulling it perpendicular to the circuit board.
- Insert the new battery into the terminals and verify it is secure.
- Screw the enclosure back together securely.
Note: Be sure not to over tighten the screws or strip the threads.
Recalibration
The PRTC110 standard calibration is two pressure points at 14.7 PSI and 30 PSI and one
point at 0mVs for the thermocouple channel.
