HiTemp140-FP & HiTemp140-FP-TSK
Product Overview
The HiTemp140-FP is a durable, user friendly high temperature data logger featuring a long,
flexible RTD probe with a narrow diameter, making it ideal for use in steam sterilization and
lyophilization processes.
Commonly used for mapping, validation and monitoring of high temperature surfaces,
this stainless steel data logger is available in two models, the HiTemp140-FP-36 and the
HiTemp140-FP-72, which feature either 36 inch or 72 inch flexible probe lengths, respectively.
The flexible probe is coated with PFA insulation and can withstand temperatures up to 260 °C
with an accuracy of ±0.1 °C
The HiTemp140-FP probe design is narrow and lightweight making it ideal for placement
within small vials, tubing, test tube and other small diameter or delicate applications. Because
of the flexible probe, the risks of breakage (both vial and probe) generally associated with
stainless steel probe loggers are diminished and the location and placement of the probe is
easy to manipulate.
The Trigger Settings feature of the HiTemp140-FP allows users to configure high and low
temperature thresholds that when met or exceeded, will automatically start or stop recording
data to memory. This data logger is capable of storing up to 32,700 date and time stamped
readings and features a nonvolatile solid state memory which retains data even if the battery
becomes discharged.
Submergibility
The HiTemp140-FP is rated IP68 and is fully submersible.
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the HiTemp140-FP. 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.
Trigger Settings
The device can be programmed to only record based off user configured trigger settings.
1. In the Connected devices panel, select the intended device to change the settings.
2. On the Device tab, in the Information group, click Properties. Users can also right-click
on the device and select Properties in the context menu.
3. Click Trigger and configure the Trigger settings. Trigger formats are available in Window
and Two Point (bi-level) mode. Window mode allows for one range of temperature
monitoring and two point mode allows for two ranges.
Note: This product is rated for use up to 140 °C. Please heed the battery warning. The product will explode if
exposed to temperatures above 140 °C.

Installation Guide
Installing the Interface cable
- IFC400 or IFC406
Refer to the “Quick Start Guide” included in the package.
Installing the software
The software can be downloaded from the website at www.madgetech.com/software-download.
Device Operation
Connecting and Starting the data logger
- Once the software is installed and running, plug the interface cable into the docking
station.
- 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.)
- 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.
Note: Please refer to the Disclaimer & Terms of Use section on the back page of this guide for product usage
recommendations.
Downloading data from a data logger
- Place the logger into the docking station.
- 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.

Battery Warning

Specifications subject to change.
See MadgeTech’s terms and conditions at www.madgetech.com
Disclaimer & Terms of Use
Listed specifications can be used to determine maximum allowable exposure times for the
HiTemp140 with Thermal Shield at different temperatures beyond the normal operating
range of the logger. Both the data logger and Thermal Shield must be at ambient
temperature (approximately 25 °C) before being placed in the extreme temperature
environment.
Immediately following exposure to high temperature, the data logger should be removed
from the thermal shield (using appropriate precautions, as it could be VERY hot) OR the data
logger and shield should be placed in a water bath (approximately 25 °C) for at least 15
minutes to allow it to cool. Failing to do this may allow heat trapped in the Thermal Shield
to continue to heat the data logger to potentially unsafe levels.
If your application involves a ramp up to a temperature above 140 °C and/or any complex
temperature profile that isn’t simply a constant temperature, please contact MadgeTech to
determine whether the HiTemp140 with Thermal Shield is suitable.
Please provide MadgeTech with a detailed description of your temperature profile,
including temperatures, durations, ramp times, and process media (air, steam, oil, water,
etc.) If MadgeTech is unable to definitively calculate the suitability of our product for your
application, we can provide a test unit outfitted with a high temperature indicator sticker.
This sticker has an indicator dot which will turn black if exposed to temperatures above 143
°C. Apply the sticker to the bottom of the data logger itself (not the thermal shield), remove
the battery for safety, place the data logger into the thermal shield and run the assembly
through the proposed temperature program. The first indicator dot on the sticker will turn
black at 143 °C. If that happens, the HiTemp140 with thermal shield is not appropriate for
the application and we will work to find a solution that is.
