Equipment
The MiniM.O.L.E.® rH provides one Relative Humidity (rH) and one Temperature channel of static data
logging, suitable for Dry Cabinet, manufacturing plant ambient monitoring. With LCD Display, Magnet
start, 1 second to 10 day sample rate.
Features/Functions:
Start Switch: This is an internal switch that is triggered when using the Start Magnet.
Relative Humidity (rH) & Temperature Sensors: These are an external Relative Humidity Type
“K” Thermocouple sensor. Both are protected by an plastic grid.
Data Contacts: When connected to the USB Dock Station, these contacts transfers data to the

USB Dock Station
The USB Dock Station is required for the MiniM.O.L.E.® rH to communicate with the M.O.L.E.® MAP
software. The USB cable connects to a computer USB Port and then the user inserts the MiniM.O.L.E.®
rH into the station cradle mating the brass contacts from both units.
P/N A51-4473-16 Page 5 Rev 4.3.3
Start Magnet
The MiniM.O.L.E.® rH Start Magnet activates the unit by triggering an internal start switch. This magnet
is used only to initiate recording data after the unit is configured using the Setup Instrument wizard. To
Stop recording data, the user downloads the data run by using the Read Instrument wizard or the
memory limit has been reached.

Setup
The M.O.L.E.® MAP software must be installed prior to communications setup.
(Refer to Software Installation for more information).
Communications Setup
Prior to operation the M.O.L.E. Profiler must be configured to properly communicate with the
M.O.L.E.® MAP Software.
To connect the M.O.L.E. Profiler:
1) Insert the USB computer interface cable from the Dock Station into a computer USB Port.
P/N A51-4473-16 Page 7 Rev 4.3.3
2) Place the M.O.L.E. Profiler into the USB Dock Station, making sure that the two metallic

If the software does not detect a M.O.L.E. Profiler, using the communication cable
connect it to the computer and click the Scan for Instruments command button to
search again. M.O.L.E.® MAP software allows multiple instruments to be connected
to a computer at one time. Selecting the Scan for Instruments command button will
detect all instruments and display them in the dialog box. If no instrument is
detected the software displays all of the Demonstration thermal profilers to select
from.
11) Select the MEGARIDER™ PTP® instrument from the dialog box.
12) Click the OK command button to accept or Cancel to quit the command without selecting the
instrument.
13) Turn the PTP® TX power by removing the On/Off Male Plug connector from the Female
On/Off Power connector.

Quick Start Guide
This is available when in Engineer Mode.
If the desired Environment is not displayed on the Environment Sidebar, the user
can use either the Open Environment Toolbar button or select the Open
Environment Folder command from the File Menu.
This Wizard guides the user through a typical process on how to set a MiniM.O.L.E.® rH up to record
data.
To set an instrument up:
1) Connect the USB Dock Station to the computer and insert the M.O.L.E. Profiler into the
dock cradle. Refer to the Communications Setup topic for your specific M.O.L.E. Profiler for
more information.
2) Set an Environment related for the type of experiment that is being performed. Either open an
existing Environment Folder or create a new one.
