Product Notes
Getting Started
The HiTemp150FP-TSK consists of a HiTemp150FP data logger in a thermal enclosure. The
thermal enclosure allows the device to withstand higher temperatures for certain durations
of time. The chart located below outlines the time versus temperature durations.
To start the logger, unscrew the thermal enclosure and separate the thermal enclosure lid,
from the body of the data logger. Unscrew the knurled nut to access the communication
port. Screw the knurled nut back on.
The logger must be removed from the barrier immediately after removal from the heat
environment. Be careful, the logger may be very hot.
Operating Environment
The HiTemp150FP-TSK has a time limited operating environment of between -160 °C to
+250 °C, and 0 %RH to 95 %RH, non-condesing.
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the HiTemp150FP-TSK. The
o-rings ensure a tight seal and prevent liquid from entering the inside of the device.
Please refer to the application note “O-Rings 101: Protecting Your Data”, found on the
MadgeTech website, for information on how to prevent O-ring failure.

” 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
- Connect the data 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.
