The IRTC101A is a battery powered infrared thermocouple based temperature data logger. It provides

nearly instantaneous, non-contact temperature measurements, making it a perfect solution for applica-

tions such as surface temperature recording and monitoring moving objects.

The IRTC101A features a 10 year battery life, 1 second reading rate, a multiple start/stop function, ultra-

high speed download capability, 500,000 reading storage capacity, optional memory wrap, battery life

indicator, optional password protection, programmable high-low alarms and more.

As the leader in low power data logger technology, MadgeTech continuously improves its products and

develops solutions to meet ever-changing challenges. The IRTC101A was designed with our customers

in mind. MadgeTech offers free ﬁrmware upgrades for the life of the product so that data loggers already

deployed in the ﬁeld can grow with new technological developments. Units do not need to be returned

to the factory for upgrades. The user can do this from any PC.
