• -200 to +1190ºC (-328 to +2174ºF) J-type measurement range

• -200 to +390ºC (-328 to +734ºF) T-type measurement range

• USB interface for set-up and data download

• User-programmable alarm thresholds

• Status indication via red and green LEDs

• Supplied with replaceable internal lithium battery, Windows control software and basic K-type thermocouple (0 to 400°C/32 to 752°F)

This standalone data logger measures and stores up

to 32,510 temperature readings from either a J, K or

T type thermocouple . A thermocouple is attached via

the thermocouple socket at the base of the unit. The user can easily set up the thermocouple type, logging rate, start-time, logging mode,

and download the stored data by plugging the data logger into a PC’s USB port and running the purpose designed software under Windows

2000, XP or Vista. Data can then be graphed, printed and exported to other applications. The data logger is supplied complete with a long-life

lithium battery, which will last for approximately 6 months.

WINDOWS CONTROL SOFTWARE

Lascar’s EasyLog USB control software is supplied free of charge with each data logger. Easy to install and use, the control software runs

under Windows 2000, XP (Home and Professional Editions) & Vista (32-bit). The software is used to set-up the data logger as well as

download, graph and export data to Excel.

The software allows the following parameters to be con gured:

• Logger name

• °C, °F

• Logging rate (1s, 10s, 1m, 5m, 30m, 1hr, 6hr, 12hr)

• High and low alarms

• Start date and start time

• Range of logging modes available

The latest version of the control software

may be downloaded free of charge from

www.lascarelectronics.com

YOUR THERMOCOUPLE

The probe supplied with your EL-USB-TC is a K-type thermocouple designed to measure temperatures from 0 to 400ºC (32 to 752ºF).

The EL-USB-TC is designed to work with J, K and T-type thermocouples  tted with a standard mini thermocouple connector; this makes

your data logger compatible with a wide range of available thermocouples. Your application will determine which probe is most suitable

based on temperature range, accuracy, form and price. For information on a wide variety of alternative thermocouples, please contact

EL-USB-TC

Thermocouple Data Logger with USB Interface

LED FLASHING MODES

EL-USB-TC features two LEDs, that indicate the logging, battery and alarm status:

• The  rst LED  ashes red to indicate that the EL-USB-TC is in an alarm condition. It will  ash when the logged temperature has

exceeded a Low or High alarm level.

• The second LED  ashes green to indicate that the EL-USB-TC is not in an alarm condition.

Hold is enabled by default, which forces the logger to continue  ashing the red LED after an alarm, even when the temperature has returned

to normal. This feature ensures that the user is noti ed that an alarm level has been exceeded, without the need to download the data from

the logger.

Hold can be turned off via the control software. The red LED will then only  ash whilst the logger is in an alarm condition. When the

temperature returns to normal, the green LED will  ash.

Additional LED modes are explained below:

Green single  ash (10 seconds)

The data logger is currently logging. No alarm.

Green LED Red LED

Green single  ash (20 seconds)

The data logger is currently logging. No alarm. However, the battery is low and should be replaced before logging important data.

Green single  ash (30 seconds)

The data logger is not currently logging, but is primed to start at a later date and time (delayed start).

Green double  ash (20 seconds)

The data logger is full and has stopped logging. No alarm.

Red single  ash (10 seconds)

The data logger is currently logging. Low alarm.

Red single  ash (20 seconds)

The data logger is currently logging. Low alarm. However, the battery is low and should be replaced before logging important data.

Red double  ash (10 seconds)

The data logger is currently logging. High alarm.

Red double  ash (20 seconds)

The data logger is currently logging. High alarm. However, the battery is low and should be replaced before logging important data.

Red/Green single  ash (20 seconds)

The data logger is full and has stopped logging. Alarm (high, low or both).

No LEDs  ash

The data logger is stopped, the battery is empty or there is no battery  tted.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

We recommend that you replace the battery every 6 months, or prior to logging critical data.

The EL-USB-TC does not lose its stored readings when the battery is discharged or when the battery is replaced; however, the data logging

process will be stopped and cannot be re-started until the battery has been replaced and the logged data has been downloaded to a PC.

Check with your supplier that the battery you are ordering is ‘press  t’ and is not  tted with solder tags. Before replacing the battery,

remove the EL-USB-TC from the PC.

Note:

Leaving the EL-USB-TC plugged into the USB port for longer than necessary will cause some of the battery capacity to be lost.

WARNING

Handle lithium batteries carefully, observe warnings on battery casing. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
