Product Quick Reference Card

Product Notes

Pressure Sensor

The PRTC110 measures differential pressure in the range of 0 to 2inH2O or 0 to 5inH20,

depending upon the range purchased. The device is also equipped with one thermocouple

input. Two 0.080” diameter pressure ports are located on the side of the device. The

pressure ports will accept 1/16”ID flexible rubber tubing with up to 5/32”OD. The tubing

can be connected to two different pressure locations in which the device will measure the

difference between the two pressure’s.

LEDs

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

running.

Thermocouple Type

-To change the thermocouple type in the MadgeTech software:

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

- On the Device Tab, in the Information Group, click Properties. Or, right-click the device

and select Properties in the context menu.

- On the General Tab, change the Thermocouple type in the drop down menu.

- Apply these changes, there will be a prompt to reset the device, select yes.

Please note that the same thermocouple type must be used on all of the channels.

Installation Guide

Installing the Interface cable

- IFC200

Insert the device into a USB port. The drivers will install automatically.

- IFC110

Plug the serial cable into the port and verify it is secure.

Installing the software

Insert the Software USB Stick in 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.

Device Operation

Connecting and Starting the data logger

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

- 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.

Downloading data from a data logger

- Connect the logger to the interface cable.

- 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.

Device Maintenance

Battery Replacement

Materials:

Small Phillips Head Screwdriver

Replacement Battery (LTC-7PN)

- Puncture the center of the back label with the screw driver and unscrew the enclosure.

- Remove the battery by pulling it perpendicular to the circuit board.

- Insert the new battery into the terminals and verify it is secure.

- Screw the enclosure back together securely.

Note: Be sure not to over tighten the screws or strip the threads.

Recalibration

The PRTC110 standard calibration is two pressure points at 14.7 PSI and 30 PSI and one

point at 0mVs for the thermocouple channel.

Pricing:

Recalibration traceable to NIST $110.00

Recalibration $70.00

Additional Services:

Verification Point $15.00 per point
