1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a PT-104 RTD Data Requistition Module.
This guide explains how to install the software and product manual using the
supplied CD-ROM.
The product manual contains detailed information about using the product and its
software. It includes all the information you will need to connect and set up your
product. The manual is installed in electronic format, but if you would prefer a paper
copy, you can print the PDF files on the CD-ROM.
2 Safety Warnings
We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below and also
the product-specific safety warning in the product manual before using your product
for the first time. If you do not use the equipment in the manner specified, then you
may impair the protection provided. This could result in damage to your computer or
injury to yourself or others.
The product manual is installed on your computer when you install the supplied
software.
Maximum Input Range
You can find the maximum input range and, where applicable, overload protection
range in the product manual installed on your computer. Always operate the product
within the specified input range. Operation outside the range of the overload
protection is likely to cause permanent damage to the unit.
Mains Voltages
Do not attempt to connect this product to any source of mains (line) voltages.
Safety Grounding
The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of your computer
through the interconnecting cable supplied. This is done in order to minimise
interference. Therefore, always use the supplied cable to attach the product to your
computer.
Take care to avoid connecting the ground input of the product to anything which may
be at some voltage other than ground. If in doubt, use a voltmeter to check that there
is no significant AC or DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to
which you intend to connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to the product or
computer and could cause injury to yourself or others.
With temperature converters, take great care when measuring temperatures near
mains equipment. If a sensor is accidentally connected to mains voltages, you risk
damage to the converter or your computer and your computer chassis may become
live.

3 Installing the Software and Manual
You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth. Incorrect configuration or use on voltages outside the maximum input range can be
hazardous.
Repairs
The unit contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair or calibration of the unit requires
specialised test equipment and must be performed by OMEGA Engineering Inc.
1) Insert the Omega PT-104 CD into your CD-ROM drive. If Autorun is enabled, the CD
will start automatically. If this is so, go to step 5.
2) Click the Start button on the Windows desktop and select Run...
3) Type D:\start (where ‘D:’ is your CD-ROM drive)
4) Press the Enter key
5) When the CD software runs, click the Install Software button
6) The program will guide you through the installation.
4 Installing the PT-104 RTD Data Acquisition Module
If your PC does not have a spare RS-232 port (also called a COM port or a legacy
serial port), you will need to install the USB to RS-232 adapter supplied with your
Omega PT-104. Please refer to the instructions on the mini CD supplied with the
adapter.
If your PC has a spare RS-232 port, then simply plug the data logger into the port
using the 9-pin cable supplied. Note the number of the COM port that you have used.
You need to enter this number when you configure the data logging software for the
first time.
5 Software Updates and Replacements
The latest version of the PT-104 software can always be downloaded free of charge
from:
www.omega.com
If you require a new CD, please contact OMEGA Engineering.
