EggTemp

Product Notes

Getting Started

The EggTemp is designed to thermally respond to an environment the same way a real egg

does, simulating the experience of the actual product.

To start the data logger, unscrew the enclosure to access the data logger. The

communication port is located on the end of the data logger. Tighten the enclosure to

ensure a waterproof seal.

LEDs

Once started, the green LED will flash at the selected reading rate to indicate that the

device is running. The red LED will flash in one second intervals if there is an alarm

condition.

Alarm Settings

To change the settings for the temperature alarm:

- Select Alarm Settings from the Device menu in the MadgeTech software. A window will

appear allowing the customer to set the high and low temperature alarms.

- Press Change to edit the values.

- Check Enable Alarm Settings to enable the feature. The values can be entered in the

field manually or by using the scroll bars.

- Click Save to save the changes. To clear an active alarm, press Clear Alarm.

O-Rings

O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the EggTemp. 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.

cable into the computer and the serial cable into the serial port.

Installing the software

Insert the Software USB into an open USB port. If the autorun does not appear, locate the

drive on the computer and double click on Autorun.exe. Follow the instructions provided

in the Wizard.

Connecting the data logger

- Once the software is installed and running, plug the interface cable into the data logger.

Product Information Card

- Enter in any other desired parameters and click Start.

- A box will appear stating the data logger has been started. Click OK.

- 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.

- Click the Device Menu then Read Device Data. This will offload all recorded data onto

the PC.

Device Maintenance

Battery Replacement

Materials: Replacement Battery (SR1154W)

- Remove the data logger from the egg enclosure

- Unscrew the knurled endcap on the data logger

- Tip the batteries (enclosed in a plastic sleeve) out of the enclosure tube.

- Use a small, dull, non-metallic tool (e.g. pen cap) to push the batteries out of the sleeve.

- Press the new batteries into the sleeve negative (-) end first.
