INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the OM-144 USB RH/Temp/GPP
Data Logger with LCD & IRT. Please read this user’s manual

carefully and thoroughly before using the instrument.

2

The OM-144 is a low-cost, compact, battery-powered thermo­hygrometer capable of unattended logging (recording) of the
ambient temperature and relative humidity (RH) of an
environment for days, weeks or months. It can also measure
and optionally log surface temperatures spot-checked by a
technician using the unit’s integral infrared (IR) thermometer.
In addition, the OM-144 can also calculate and display absolute
humidity levels in units of grains per pound (GPP) or g/kg.
Also called mixing ratio, GPP is a more useful moisture metric
than RH to water damage restorers. Using RH alone, a
restorer might unknowingly introduce moist air—with a low
RH but a high GPP—during a job’s drying phase).

Data logging can be started or stopped by pushing a button
on the unit, eliminating the need to bring a laptop to the
job site. After a data log has been captured and stored, it can

®

7 or

be uploaded as a .txt file to any PC running the Windows

®

Windows

XP operating system after plugging the OM-144 into
one of the computer’s USB ports. The OM-144’s internal flash
memory is large enough to store 16,300 pairs of RH and
temperature readings or nearly 10,000 sets of RH, ambient
temperature and surface temperature readings.

Included with the product is a mini-disc with the drivers
needed to interface the unit to the computer, as well as
software that can display a data log file as a table or graph
and/or export it to Microsoft Excel. Exporting to Excel is
recommended for sophisticated trending and analysis of
humidity and temperature data and easy detection of
unexpected excursions.

Applications for the OM-144 include:

• Water damage restoration—Because the OM-144 is designed

to be deployed and left in place over the duration of the job,
it is always in equilibrium with the environment.

• Process control—The OM-144 enables, simplifies and cuts the

cost of environmental monitoring of office buildings,
greenhouses, food and equipment storage facilities,
wineries, freezers, shipping containers, HVAC/R installations,
computer rooms, labs, libraries, museums, and saunas.

• Electronics manufacturing—Alerts provided by the low-

humidity alarm function of the OM-144 can mitigate the risk
of damaging high-voltage static discharges.

KEY FEATURES

• One button starts/stops data logging without a PC

• Plug-and-play USB 2.0 interface; no need for cables,

cradles or docks

• Large storage capacity: 16,300 pairs of RH and

temperature readings or nearly 10,000 sets of RH, ambient

temperature and surface temperature readings

• 3-1/2-digit LCD displays real-time temperature and RH

readings, absolute humidity readings—in grains per pound

(GPP) or g/kg—and device working and alarm status and

“memory full”

• Built-in IR thermometer with 2:1 Distance-to-Spot ratio and

measurement range of -4° to 482°F (-20° to 250°C)

• Included software is used to set: Sampling time from

10 seconds to 12 hours; Hi/Lo alarm setpoints for humidity,
ambient temperature and surface temperature;
Temperature unit (°F or °C)

4

• Software also calculates and plots GPP and dew point and

wet bulb temperatures and displays data logs as time­based graphs synchronized to your PC’s clock

• One-click exporting of logs to Excel or Word

• Long battery life (up to one year)

• Includes USB extension cable

• One-year warranty

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING/REPLACING THE BATTERY

The OM-144 uses a 3.6VDC “1/2 AA” Lithium-ion battery
To open the battery compartment, turn the unit over and
slide the battery compartment cover (which is clearly marked)
toward the front of the unit, in the direction opposite the
arrow on the cover. Remove the old battery and insert a fresh
battery in the correct orientation. Then replace the cover,
pushing it forward until you feel and hear a click.

After you replace the battery, the LCD will “wake up” and
begin displaying real-time readings. If the SET or STO button
is not pressed within 60 seconds, the LCD will be
automatically powered off.

Note: If the battery is removed from a unit before it has been
set up from software or while it is recording, the unit must be
reconfigured before it can be reactivated. If it is not
reconfigured, the unit will remain in standby mode.

CONFIGURE THE UNIT

Note that the software installation has added a icon to
your desktop. To facilitate access to the program, right-click
on the icon and pin it to both your Start button and the Quick
Start area at the left of your taskbar. You can now eject the
installation mini-disc and store it with your other important
software.

Plug the OM-144 into an available USB port of your computer.

If your computer is a laptop and the only available USB
jack does not have enough vertical clearance to
accommodate the OM-144 without mechanically stressing
its USB plug, do not plug the OM-144 directly into the jack.
You do not want the plug of the OM-144 to support any of
the weight of the laptop. If that is the case, plug the OM-144

into the jack of the included USB extension cable and insert
the plug of the extension cable into the computer’s USB jack.

The first time you plug the OM-144 into your computer, your
system tray will notify you that the computer is “Installing
Device Driver Software”. When the notification disappears,
open the ELusb program by selecting it via your Start button,
clicking on its icon on your taskbar, or double-clicking its
desktop icon.

If the software has installed correctly and you have plugged
the OM-144 into a working USB port of your computer, the
following screen should appear on your computer’s display.

Fig. 2. The three options made available by

plugging the OM-144 into a USB port

Note: If you have already used your OM-144 to log data
and it is still in recording mode, plugging the unit in
will cause the following window to appear.

Click Yes to stop recording and import all data recorded to
that point in time. Click No to continue to Setup without
importing recorded data (meaning it will be lost). Click
Cancel to go back and unplug the unit from the USB port.

11

You can now use the software to “configure” your OM-144.
Configuring the device means choosing five key parameters:

• Sampling time—How often it makes and stores

humidity and temperature measurements.

• Temperature unit—degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius

(°F or °C).

• High and low (ambient) temperature alarm setpoints

• High and low humidity alarm setpoints

• High and low surface (IR) temperature setpoints

To begin, click on “Set up the USB Data Logger” in the
window shown in the figure above. Doing so will cause the
following window to appear.

Device OM-144 is connected!

Fig. 3. The OM-144 configuration (Setup) window

Using your mouse, trackball or touchpad, first choose your
Temp Scale and Sample Rate (sampling time). With regard to
sampling time, using the shortest setting of 10 seconds may

12

result in too much essentially identical data being stored in
memory, potentially limiting its capacity to capture important
events such as an unexpected excursion of temperature or
humidity. Conversely, using the longest sampling time setting
of 12 hours will likely cause important events to go
undetected.

If you are an experienced data logger, you already know how
to choose the optimum sampling time for your application. If
you are a novice, pick a sampling time closer to the minimum
sampling time than the maximum, on the assumption that
the OM-144 probably has enough memory (16,300 pairs of
humidity and temperature readings, if you choose not to log
IR thermometer measurements) to store all the data you ask
the meter to log—unless you use it to log data for months,
rather than weeks or days.

Be aware that if you do manage to fill up the OM-144's memory
(by logging for a very long time at a very short sampling time,
for example), the device will simply stop recording. It will not
continue recording by overwriting the oldest saved data with
new data.

If you wish, you can also drag the sliders shown in the figure to
set—from top to bottom— high and low alarm setpoints for
(ambient) temperature, humidity, and IRT (surface)
temperature.

Once you have chosen your data logging parameters, click
Setup. A window will appear advising that “The device is set
up successfully.” Clicking Setup also synchronizes the
OM-144’s internal clock with your computer’s clock, giving all
data logs to be captured an absolute time reference.

You can now unplug the OM-144 from your computer’s USB
port. The unit is in “standby” mode, ready to begin logging data.

13

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DEPLOY THE UNIT

The OM-144 is particularly easy to deploy on a job site because
the unit does not need to be plugged into a computer to be
activated (ready to start logging data). Working together, the
SET and STO buttons and the LCD serve as the control and
indicators needed to: 1) start and stop data logging and

2) verify and change the unit’s working status.

That leaves only two things to be sure of when choosing a
place to deploy the OM-144:

• The temperature and humidity sensor window

(Fig. 1a, Callout I) is not covered

• The humidity and temperature values at the unit’s

location are “representative” of the room

The OM-144—with its protective cap on—can be deployed
either by laying it on a horizontal surface or by hanging it
vertically within the included plastic mounting bracket.
The back of the bracket features both a magnet and a
hanger hole.

Once you have deployed the OM-144, you can initiate data
logging. To start logging ambient temperature and
humidity data (but not IRT measurements), press and hold
the SET button for at least 3 seconds. The LCD will display

the word “LOG” to confirm that logging has begun. To
start logging ambient temperature and humidity data as
well as IRT measurements, press the hold the STO button
for at least 3 seconds. The LCD will display the words
“LOG” and “IRT” to confirm that logging has begun.

14

STOP LOGGING AND IMPORT LOGS

To stop data logging, press and hold the SET or STO button
for at least 3 seconds. The LCD will display three dashes
(- - -) to confirm that logging has stopped.

That is how you should stop data logging if you plan to initiate
another logging session later without uploading logged data
to your computer in the interim. If you allow logging to
continue and you do not upload your data to your computer
soon, you risk filling up the OM-144’s memory.

A simpler and safer way to stop data logging is to plug the
OM-144 into your computer’s USB port immediately after
completing a logging session and then use the ELUSB
software to stop logging.

Each time you plug the OM-144 into the USB port, the window
shown in Fig. 2 will appear. When you plug in the unit, it
makes no difference whether it is still logging; the procedure
for uploading (importing) data logs is identical. Just click on
the middle selection—Stop the USB Data Logger and
download data—to instantly execute both functions. The
data will be imported as a .txt file. A “Save As” window will
appear, asking you to identify where you want the file to be
stored and what you want to name it.

VIEWING, PRINTING AND EXPORTING
DATA LOGS

Immediately after you close the “Save AS” window by
clicking on Save, the uploaded data log will automatically be
displayed as a set of curves representing all loggable values.
Fig. 4 is a typical example. The initial display includes all
parameters, including dew point and GPP or g/kg (which the
software automatically calculates) and alarm setpoints that

15

you may have entered during Setup. To remove any
parameter or horizontal and vertical grid lines from the overall
plot, uncheck its box at right.

Fig. 4. A typical initial plot of an imported data log

There are several features shown in Fig. 4 worth noting:

• To mark the position of every recorded data point on the

curve, check the “Mark Points” box at the top of the
sidebar at right.

• To get a higher-resolution view of the data recorded

during a specific period of time, scale up and down the
curves by dragging the slider at the bottom of the
window to the left and right.

• Hovering the cursor over a particular point of the curve

displays all data related to this point—including the
maximum, minimum and average values of the entire
curve—in a shaded box at upper left.

• The dates and times shown on the x-axis scale and in

the upper left corner are in sync with your computer’s
clock.

16

• To print the .txt file of any data log, click the Print virtual
button.

• To open a previously saved data log, click the Open
button. This function is also available as the “View
previously saved data” option shown in Fig. 2.

• To export a file to Excel for advanced trending and
analysis, click the Export to Excel button.

USING THE IR THERMOMETER

The OM-144 has an integral IR thermometer that can be used
to spot-check the temperature of any surface from a distance.
This function would, for example, enable an HVAC/R system
installer to quickly check the temperature of air exiting a duct
without having to use an anemometer-thermometer.

To activate the IRT, press and hold the Meas button (Fig. 1a,
Callout H) while aiming the laser pointer at the surface of
interest. The measured temperature will instantly appear on
the LCD in the currently selected unit, along with the
indication IRT in the upper right corner.

When you release the Meas button, the “Hold” icon (a lock;
see Fig. 1b) will also appear on the display to indicate that the
displayed value is being held. The reading will be held for
10 seconds. At that time, the OM-144 will exit IRT mode and
resume displaying temperature, humidity or working status
on its LCD.

The OM-144’s IRT has a distance-to-spot (D:S) ratio of 2:1 and
assumes that its target has an emissivity of 0.95 (a valid
assumption for most materials). Include these specifications
when considering how close you must be to a target to
measure its temperature accurately, without including the
temperature of its surroundings.

17

OTHER INDICATIONS

As mentioned earlier, the SET and STO buttons and the LCD
can be used together to display real-time temperature, RH
and GPP readings, and to indicate the current working status
of the OM-144.

Circuitry inside the OM-144 automatically shuts down the LCD
(to conserve battery life) if the SET or STO button has not
been pressed within the past 60 seconds. That is the case
even when the unit is logging data. In other words, the LCD is
normally “asleep”.

To wake up the LCD, briefly press the SET or STO button.
This first press of the button will cause the LCD to resume
displaying the same indication that was on-screen when the
LCD was last put to sleep.

Pressing the SET button briefly can produce four possible
display indications: (1) The current temperature, (2) the
current relative humidity level, (3) the current absolute
humidity level (mixing ratio in GPP or g/kg), and (4) the
OM-144’s current working status. Each press of the SET button
changes the display to the next indication in the sequence;
pressing the SET button when the LCD is displaying the unit’s
current working status (4) resets the cycle to (1).

There are four possible working status indications:

• LOG: The unit is currently logging data

• - - -: The unit is in standby mode, ready to log data

• FUL: The unit’s internal memory is full and logging has

been stopped

• CON: The unit needs to be configured by software

18

The STO button has a third function, in addition to waking up
the LCD and adding IRT readings to sets of temperature and
humidity data logs. When the OM-144’s LCD is on, brief presses
of the STO button toggle displayed temperature readings
between °C and °F, and displayed mixing ratio readings
between GPP and g/kg.

When the LCD is displaying a temperature or humidity
reading, it also gives an indication if the reading is outside the
“acceptable” range of readings for that parameter—
assuming that high and/or low alarm setpoints were entered
during the Setup procedure. If an “up” arrow appears at the
left of the reading (see Fig. 1b on p. 7), the measured value of
that parameter is higher than its high alarm setpoint. If a
“down” arrow appears at the left of the reading, it is lower
than the low alarm setpoint for that parameter.
