1.0 DESCRIPTION
The Track-It Pressure/Temperature and Vacuum/Temperature Data Loggers with
Display are battery powered standalone watertight compact data loggers that
emulate a pressure gauge. They can be configured to record both Pressure and
Temperature up to 130,000 samples or Pressure alone, to maximize data storage
space. Real time data, alarms and min/max information can be displayed on the
multi-line LCD. The unit is easily configured using the free downloadable Track-It
PC Software. There is a mini-USB connector on the rear of the unit allowing
connection to a PC for programming and data upload. Data upload can also be
done with a device for Android™ using the Transporter App available on the
Google Play™ store.
The logger can be programmed to record data from once every two seconds to
once a day. The recording can be initiated by the user to commence immediately,
manually via the keypad buttons, at some preset time in the future, or on an alarm
condition.
The display can be programmed to display pressure in various engineering units
depending on pressure range. It can also display temperature, minimum and
maximum values, percentage of memory used, time and date.
Track-It Pressure/Temp and Vacuum/Temp Data Loggers are packaged in a rugged watertight anodized aluminum and
stainless steel housing and have a standard 1/4‖ NPT fitting. The replaceable internal lithium battery has up to a 3 year life.

4.0 INSTALLATION
The logger can be ordered with various pressure sensors to cover most applications. Sensors have a ¼‖
NPT thread that is intended to screw into the pressure source. Make sure to use suitable tape or thread
sealant/dope on the threads before inserting the logger into the port. Use an adjustable wrench on the
SENSOR NUT to tighten the device into the port and test for leaks.
Once installed the dial can be rotated 300 degrees about the sensor to the intended viewing direction. The
gauge face can also be rotated 360 degrees by undoing the blue bezel, lifting the front panel and
associated electronics and rotating it to the desired position. Ensure the O-ring is in place before replacing
the bezel. Do not stress any of the internal wiring.
5.0 BATTERY
The unit operates off a 1/2 AA 3.6V Lithium battery. The battery is accessed by removing the rear bezel ring
and cover. Gently extract the battery and replace as needed. NOTE POLARITY WHEN REPLACING – the
unit will not operate if the battery is reversed. Ensure the O-ring is in place before replacing the cover and
bezel. Do not stress any of the internal wiring.
6.0 BUTTONS AND MENU
If the display is off, pressing any button will turn it on for the duration set in the Track-It PC Software. If the
backlight is turned on, it will light for approximately 5 seconds.
There are 3 buttons: ◄ (left arrow), MENU and ► (right arrow).
Pressing the ◄ or ► buttons will scroll the display through the various display values as set in the Track-It
PC Software. This includes Pressure, Temperature, Date/Time, Memory Usage, Max/Min for Pressure
and/or Temperature.
6.1 Menu Modes
There are two menu modes: the Regular menu and the Admin menu. What is visible in each menu

Bar Graph BAR – On/OFF – Turns the bar graph on or off. Press ► button to toggle on/off status.
Decimal Point DCPT – AUtO, 0, 1 – Used to set preferred number of decimal places. Auto will use all the digits and adjust the
number of digits after the decimal accordingly.
Engineering Units Unit – Used to change the engineering units for the pressure display. The lower line will show the current
engineering units. Use the ► to scroll through the available units and press ◄ to accept. Not all units are
available depending on the full scale value of the sensor. The choice is limited by the number of digits on the
display.
Record On/Off rEC – ON/OFF – Will toggle the record mode of the unit (Only visible if record mode set to ―Button Press‖ in the
Track-It PC Software). Press ► button to toggle on/off status.
Zero Mode ZERO – OFF/EnAb – Will enable the zero offset feature. Available only in the Admin menu. If Off (not enabled)
the Zero Set menu item will not display.
Zero Set ZERO – SEt/OFF – Will set the current Pressure value to zero (offset into relative mode). Press ► button to
toggle between modes. SEt will activate relative mode, OFF will set to absolute mode. NOTE: When set, the
OFS icon will show on the display. This menu item is only visible if the Zero Mode is enabled in the Admin menu
and the Admin menu is NOT Locked.
7.0 LCD DISPLAY
The display has 4½ 7-segment digits to show actual values of pressure and
temperature. There is also a line of 4 alphanumeric digits used to display
ASCII text (e.g. Pressure Units). The display is optionally backlit; the back
light is initiated for 5 seconds by pressing any button. If the pressure is
greater than 19999, the resolution is set to 10 units and is indicated by the
x10 icon. The maximum value displayed is therefore 199990.
There is a bar graph at the top of the display (which can be turned off by the
user) giving an analog indication of values relative to 100% which is the full
scale value of the sensor. Note that in the pressure offset mode the bar
graph indicates the absolute value of the pressure as a function of full scale.
In addition to these values, the display can be scrolled using the ◄ or ►
buttons and may show (depending on configuration) minimum and maximum
values of pressure and temperature, date as day/month - 24.07 or month/day
- 07.24, time in 12 or 24 hour format (12 hour format will be indicated by AM or PM – 08:30 AM), and memory usage as a % of available
memory. Values shown are set in the display setup using the Track-It PC Software. See below for details.

There are various icon indications on the display that indicate the following:
OFS
Indicates the unit is currently recording. This icon will blink at a 2 second rate.
Indicates the unit is currently triggered and waiting to record. Record is initiated by time delay or button depending on
configuration.
Indicates an Alarm condition. Indicates High Alarm. Indicates Low Alarm
On its own (no Alarm) indicates Maximum value. Visible when scrolling through display if set.
On its own indicates Minimum value. Visible when scrolling through display if set.
Indicates the reading has been offset and is relative. (Zero mode active).
If present, this indicates the battery is low and should be replaced. If it is blinking it indicates readings may be compromised,
unit may shut down and the battery should be replaced immediately.
Indicates the current numerical value displayed must be multiplied by 10.
Bar graph shows percentage of full scale (0 to 100%) of the value indicated.
This can indicate Pressure, Temperature or percentage of memory used
when recording. Note that in the Pressure offset mode the bar graph will show
the percentage of full scale of the absolute value not the offset value currently
displayed. The bar can be disabled in the menu.
8.0 LED
There is an LED (Light Emitting Diode) above the display to the left. This LED is user programmable using the Track-It PC Software (see
below) and can indicate that the unit is recording (Green blink) or an Alarm condition exists (Red blink). It will also blink green when serial
communication is taking place through the USB port.
9.0 TRACK-IT SOFTWARE
The Track-It Software runs on a PC and enables the user to upload data, customize and program the Logger through a USB connection.
The operation of the Track-It Software is described in its own manual which is accessed via the Help - Manual option.
There are a number of unique options specifically for this Display Pressure Logger which are covered below.
9.1 Preferences
Select ―Preferences‖ then the Eng Units tab. You will see the
pop-up box shown right.
These Engineering Units apply to the data read from the Logger
and displayed on the graph or in the data table.
If the ―Units from Logger‖ box is checked - the selection of
engineering units here is ignored and the engineering units used
will be as set by default in the Logger. If the ―Units from Logger‖
box is unchecked then the unit selected here will override that
set in the Logger.

9.2 Input Setup
Under the ―Device Setup‖ tab select the ―Input‖ tab and the
―Chan 1‖ tab.
This setting allows the user to select the default engineering
units that will be displayed on the Logger LCD Display. Note
that not all engineering units are available; it depends on the
full-scale range of the pressure sensor, as some values will
be too large to display on the Logger. Note also that these
units may be changed locally at the Logger if the menu is set
up to allow this. See below.
The units selected here will be used when reading data from
the Logger unless overridden in the Preferences menu.
The Pressure channel cannot be disabled – the Logger will
always record Pressure.
Note that selecting anything other than ―Instantaneous‖ for
Sample Mode (the Logger only takes a reading at the Record
Rate) will cause the Logger to take readings at the highest
sample rate and will have an adverse effect on the battery
life.
The ―Chan 2‖ tab is similar but for the Temperature channel. The Temperature channel can be disabled in which case the Logger will
only record Pressure, not Temperature and Pressure.
9.3 Display Setup
Under the ―Device Setup‖ tab select the ―Display‖ tab.
These settings allow the user to decide what is displayed on the Logger LCD display and defines the function of the LED.
The ―Display List‖ column shows the available functions that are available to be displayed on the Logger and the ―LCD Display‖
column are the functions that will be displayed on the Logger. The user can move the options between the columns by selecting the
option (clicking on it) and using the arrow keys. Note that Pressure cannot be moved from the LCD display.
―Decimal Places:‖ will define how the data is displayed. Auto will always use the maximum number of digits available.
―LCD Time Out:‖ determines how long the LCD display will be on before blanking. Note that as long as the LCD display is on, the
Logger updates the readings in real-time which has an adverse effect on battery life.
The ―Time:‖ and ―Date:‖ formats can be selected as shown.
The ―Display Average‖ checkbox enables the real-time update to be a rolling average of the last four readings. This will quiet a noisy
display but does affect the response of the readout.

9.4 Menu Setup
Under the ―Device Setup‖ tab select the ―Menu‖ tab.
This setting allows the user to determine which menu functions appear in the Normal menu and which appear in the Admin menu.
Menu items will appear in the Logger menus in the order of top to bottom in the below lists. By highlighting a menu item (clicking on
it) the user can manipulate its position using the arrow buttons. The Zero Mode cannot be moved from the Admin menu
If the ―Lock Admin Menu‖ box is checked the user will not be able to access the Admin Menu features at the Logger, and the Zero Set
menu option (display offset) will not be available in the Normal Menu.
