Product Information Card

Product Notes

1000 Series: Getting Started

To access the COM Port for the interface cable, unscrew the key-ring end cap. Ensure the

end cap is screwed on tightly before deploying the data logger.

Pressure Sensor

To use the pressure sensor for gauge measurements, screw the ¼” male NPT fitting into

the pipe to be measured with a 9/16” wrench.

O-Rings

O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the PRTrans1000IS. 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.

Note: For more information refer to the PRTrans1000IS Intrinsic Safety user notice.

Trigger Settings

The PRTrans1000IS records based off user configured trigger settings. Select Trigger

Settings from the Device Menu: Start Device or Identify Device and Read Status. Trigger

formats are available in Window or Two Point mode. Window allows for one range of

pressure monitoring and two Point Mode allows for a high trigger and a low trigger. Refer

to the PRTrans1000 and PRTrans1000IS Trigger Settings Video for instructions on how to

configure Trigger Settings.

Installation Guide

Installing the Interface cable

- IFC200

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

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

- 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 Needle Nose Pliers and a Replacement Battery (TL-2150)

- Carefully unscrew the sensor end cap and pull the electronics out.

- The battery is the purple cylinder on the circuit board.

- Gently pull out the old battery.

- Insert the new battery one lead at a time, using pliers to fully push the leads into the sockets.

Note: The battery should be flat against the circuit board, and the positive lead should be closest to the
communications jack.

- Ensure the circuit board is inserted into the white plastic bushing. The sensor cable should

not be twisted, or kinked. From the connection to the circuit board, it should run up

towards the battery, then down to the sensor.

- Insert the electronics back into the tube and carefully screw the cap on.

Recalibration

The PRTrans1000IS standard calibration is dependant upon the range.
