HiTemp140X2 Series

PRODUCT USER GUIDE

Product Overview

The HiTemp140X2 Series of dual probe high temperature
data loggers are comprised of a stainless steel data
logger body and feature either two remote temperature
probes one ambient and one remote temperature probe
combination. This data logger series offers extreme
flexibility for high temperature monitoring applications.

The dual probes of the HiTemp140X2 Series allow for
simultaneous temperature monitoring and are ideal for
applications such as oven mapping, surface temperature
monitoring, autoclave validation, food processing,
sterilization processes and much more.

Rigid Transitional
Diameter Probe (TD)

The HiTemp140X2-TD data logger models feature a
2 inch rigid, fast response, transitional diameter probe to
measure ambient temperature, combined with a second
stainless steel bendable or flexible RTD probe option.

The HiTemp140X2-FP data logger models feature a
12 inch, 36 inch or 72 inch, lightweight flexible RTD probe,
combined with a second stainless steel bendable probe or
a second flexible RTD probe.

Water Resistance

The HiTemp140X2 Series data loggers are rated IP68 and
are fully submersible. They can be placed in environments
up to 230 ft (70 m) of water.

Bend Radius

The bendable RTD probe on the HiTemp140X2 Series data
loggers can be bent to a .25 inch bend radius. The probe
should not be bent within 1 inch of either weld joint.

Temperature Channels

Flexible RTD Probe (FP)

Stainless Steel Bendable
RTD Probe (PT)

All HiTemp140X2 Series data loggers feature two
temperature channels. The channel number for each
probe is identified on the top of the logger as shown to the
right. The MadgeTech 4 Software will list the temperature
channels in sequence, listing channel 1 first and channel 2
second, under the data logger device ID as shown below.

Installation Guide

Installing the Software

The Software can be downloaded from the MadgeTech
website at madgetech.com. Follow the instructions
provided in the Installation Wizard.

Installing the Docking Station

IFC400 or IFC406 (sold separately) — Connect the device

into a USB port with the interface cable. The drivers will
install automatically.

Device Operation

Connecting and Starting the Data Logger

1. Once the software is installed and running, plug the
interface cable into the docking station.

2. Connect the USB end of the interface cable into an
open USB port on the computer.

3. Place the data logger into the docking station.

4. The data logger will automatically appear under
Connected Devices within the software.

5. 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.)

6. The status of the device will change to Running,
Waiting to Start or Waiting to Manual Start,

depending upon your start method.

7. 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

1. Place the logger into the docking station.

2. Highlight the data logger in the Connected Devices
list. Click Stop on the menu bar.

3. Once the data logger is stopped, with the logger
highlighted, click Download. You will be prompted to
name your report.

4. Downloading will offload and save all the recorded
data to the PC.

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.

Set Password

To password protect the device so that others cannot
start, stop or reset the device:

1. In the Connected Devices panel, click the device
desired.

2. On the Device Tab, in the Information Group, click

Properties. Or, right-click the device and select
Properties in the context menu.

3. On the General Tab, click Set Password.

4. Enter and confirm the password in the box that
appears, then select OK.

Device Maintenance

O-Rings

O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring
for the HiTemp140X2 Series data loggers. 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 at madgetech.com, for
information on how to prevent O-ring failure.

Battery Replacement

Materials: ER14250MR-145 Battery

1. Unscrew the bottom of the logger and remove the
battery.

2. Place the new battery into the logger. Note the polarity
of the battery. It is important to insert the battery with
positive polarity pointing upward towards the probe.
Failure to do so could result in product inoperability or
potential explosion if exposed to high temperatures.

3. Screw the cover back onto the logger.

Recalibration

Notice: Steam Sterilization Applications

The pervasive nature of pressurized steam creates a very
difficult environment for electronics. Please refer to the
following preventative maintenance procedure when
using this device in steam sterilization applications.
Additionally, this device is not ideal for steam sterilization
applications above 121 °C/1.1 bar.

Preventive Maintenance

After every 3 hours of steam exposure:

1. Remove the endcap and battery from the device (ref.
battery change procedure on Product User Guide)

2. Place open logger (minus battery) in an oven at 120 °C
(250 °F) for a minimum of 30 minutes

3. Remove logger from oven and allow to cool to room
temperature

4. Re-assemble the logger with the battery (note polarity)
and endcap

Note: This product is rated for use up to 140 °C
(284 ºF). Please heed the battery warning. The
product will explode if exposed to temperatures
above 140 °C (284 ºF).

Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Published 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.
