Product Notes

Operating Environment*

The ThermoVault is an oven temperature recorder that consists of a TC101A-ST data logger

inside a thermal enclosure. The thermal enclosure acts as a buffer and allows the device to

be placed in higher operating environments for certain durations of time. The chart below

outlines the maximum temperature and time duration to which the device can be exposed.

*Operating Environment: Maximum Exposure Time

Ambient Temperature Exposure Time

100°C (212°F) 52 min

150°C (302°F) 30 min

200°C (392°F) 22 min

250°C (482°F) 17 min

260°C (500°F) 16 min

300°C (572°F) 15 min

350°C (662°F) 12 min

400°C (752°F) 10 min

LEDs

- Green LED blinks: 10 seconds to indicate logging and 15 seconds to indicate delay start mode

- Red LED blinks: 10 seconds to indicate low battery and/or memory and 1 second to
indicate an alarm condition

Thermocouple Type

To change the thermocouple type in the MadgeTech software:

- Select the Device Menu, then Identify Device and Read Status.

- Select the Device Detail tab, then Thermocouple Type.

- Click on the Change button in the Thermocouple Type window.

- Select the correct thermocouple type from the drop down list.

- Click on the Save button to store the thermocouple type in the device then click OK.

Password Protection

An optional password may be programmed into the device to restrict access to
configuration options. Data may be read out without the password.

Multiple Start/Stop Mode Activation

- To start device: Press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds, the green LED will flash
during this time. The 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.

Alarm

Programmable high and low limits; LED alarm is activated when temperature reaches or

exceeds set limits.

Device Maintenance

Battery Replacement

Materials: Small Phillips Head Screwdriver and Replacement Battery (LTC-7PN)

- Open the ThermoVault and remove the data logger.

- 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.

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 CD in the CD-ROM Drive. If the autorun does not appear, locate the

drive on the computer and double click on Autorun.exe. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Connecting the data logger

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

- Click the Communication Menu, then Auto Configure Port.

- After a moment, a box will appear stating that a device has been found.

- Click OK. The Device Status box will appear. Click OK.

- At this point, communications have been configured for your logger. These settings can

be found under the Communication Menu.

Note: For additional installation instructions refer to your “Data Logger & Software Operating Manual”.

Device Operation

Starting the data logger

- Click Device Menu then Start Device.

- Choose the desired start method.

- Choose the start parameters by selecting a Reading Rate suitable for your application.

- Enter in any other desired parameters and click Start.

- A box will appear stating the data logger has been started. Click OK.

- Disconnect the data logger from the interface cable and place it in the environment.

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 data logger to the interface cable.

- Click the Device Menu then Read Device Data. This will offload all recorded data onto

the PC.
