■ Precautions for handling components
Always observe the following precautions to avoid operator injury and damage to the equipment.
● Probe
Warning
Do not point the tip of a needle-type standard probe or needle-type high-speed probe
at another person. The tip of the needle is very sharp and can cause injury.
Caution
• Do not touch the stylus (metal) of a probe which has just measured a hot object. A
hot stylus can cause a burn.
• Do not use a worn or damaged probe. Such probes cannot measure temperatures
correctly.
• Before removing the probe from the main unit, pull the probe away from the object
to be measured.
• If a needle-type standard probe or needle-type high-speed probe is used, stick it
into a measuring object half the dimension of the probe’ s stylus (metal). If it is stuc k
in too deeply , the operator ma y be burnt due to heat transf er to the probe grip. Also,
the probe itself may be damaged.
• The probe grip and the cable connected to the main unit must be maintained at a
temperature between -20C and 50C. They have a small heat resistance, unlike the
stylus (metal) of the probe.
● Battery
Caution
If this instrument will not be used for a long period, remove the battery from the main
unit. Otherwise, the battery liquid may leak and damage the main unit or cause it to
malfunction.

1 Features of This Product
1 Features of This Product
This product is a handy-type thermometer that can measure a temperature and
make a record of it. It has a “collector function” to record the measured temperatures and measurement conditions under the specified tag, and a “logging function” to automatically measure and record temperatures at given intervals.
This section outlines each function.
■ Collector function
The collector function is used when the measured temperature and measurement conditions
are recorded under the specified “tag”.
In the “tag”, the tag name (i.e. “what”), date and time (i.e. “when”), operator name (i.e. “who”),
and alarm (i.e. “judgment on the measured data”) are recorded as the measurement conditions, in addition to the measured temperature.

It is possible to use maximum 50 tags, and in these 50 tags, a total of 5,000 pieces of temperature measurement data can be recorded. However, the more the data is saved with the logging
function, the less number of measurements can be made with the collector function.
Set up the following tag items in advance to use the collector function.

■ Logging function
The logging function is used to automatically measure temperatures at given measurement
intervals and to continue to record the result data. This function is useful when a temperature
variation within a certain period of time (e.g. temperature variation in a refrigerator being
transported) needs to be recorded.
With this logging function, the temperatures and date (year/month/day) and time will be recorded as a “log”. Unlike the collector function, the logging function does not record the
operator name and alarm (measured data judgment).

3.1 Setups required to use the collector function
(Setting the tag name, input channel, alarm, and operator name)
Before using the collector function, the following tag setups must be made.
■ Setup contents
●Tag name
Put a title for each tag.
●Input channel
Thermo-Collector has multiple input channels and probes for measuring temperatures of
substances in a vapor, solid, or liquid phase. Since the probe to be used depends on the
measuring object, it is necessary to set the available input channel on a tag in advance.
The following table shows the probe types and their corresponding input channels.
Probe type Input channel

High speed needle probe
Surface probe
Rounded end probe

●Alarm
Set a limit temperature at which the alarm sounds.
• ON/OFF of the upper-limit alarm and upper-limit temperature
Make the following settings to sound an alarm when the temperature rises above a preset limit.
The upper-limit temperature cannot be set if the alarm function for the upper limit is set to OFF.
