Recording

The TC101A temperature data logger, is a compact

versatile device to be used with thermocouple probes

for accurate temperature monitoring and profiling.

This data logger is an ideal and affordable solution

for applications such as HVAC studies, oven profiling,

dry-ice shipments, process validation and many general

purpose temperature monitoring applications.

Compatible with eight different types of thermocouple probes, the TC101A can measure

temperatures as low as -270 °C , and up to as high as 1820 °C (probe dependent), with an

environmental operating temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C for the data logger body.

The 10 year battery life and the memory storage capacity of 500,000 readings with optional

memory wrap makes the TC101A ideal for extended deployments.

With the user friendly MadgeTech Data Logger Software, the TC101A is easily connected

to a PC to download the collected data. The MadgeTech Software is capable of presenting

the data in graphic, tabular, and summary formats for reporting. Data can also be exported

easily to Excel for further analysis and calculations.

without having to download data or
communicate with a PC

To start the device:

Press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds,
the green LED will flash during this time. The

Multiple Start/Stop Mode

Activation:

device has started logging.

To stop the device:

Press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds,
the red LED will flash during this time. The
device has stopped logging.

Real Time Recording:

The device may be used with PC to
monitor and record data in real time.

Alarm: Programmable high and low limits; alarm is
activated when temperature reaches or exceeds sets
limits.

Alarm:

Alarm Delay: A cumulative alarm delay may be set
in which the device will activate the alarm (via LED)
only when the device has recorded a user specified
time duration of data.

High and Low limits may be set for the thermocouple
channel. Once data meets or exceed sets limits, the

Trigger Settings:

device will record to memory. Bi-level start and stop
triggers can also be programmed. Users can specify the
number of readings to take after the device triggers.

Green LED blinks: 10 second rate to indicate logging,

15 second rate to indicate delay start mode

LED Functionality:

Red LED blinks: 10 second rate to indicate low battery
