SciTemp140-FP High Temperature Data Logger with Flexible RTD Probe

Product Overview

The SciTemp140-FP is a durable, user-friendly high temperature data logger featuring a long, flexible RTD probe with a narrow diameter and stainless steel tip, making it ideal for use in steam sterilization and lyophilization processes.
Commonly used for mapping, validation and monitoring of high temperature surfaces, this stainless steel data logger is available in several models. The flexible probe is coated with PFA insulation and can withstand temperatures up to +260 °C (+500 °F).
The SciTemp140-FP probe design is narrow and lightweight making it ideal for placement within small vials, tubing, test tube and other small diameter or delicate applications. Because of the flexible probe, the risks of breakage (both vial and probe) generally associated with stainless steel probe loggers are diminished and the location and placement of the probe is easy to manipulate.
The Trigger Settings feature of the SciTemp140-FP allows users to configure high and low temperature thresholds that when met or exceeded, will automatically start or stop recording data to memory. This data logger is capable of storing up to 32,256 date and time stamped readings and features a non-volatile solid state memory which retains data even if the battery becomes discharged.

Water Resistance
The SciTemp140-FP is rated IP68 and is fully submersible.

Installation Guide

Installing the Software
The Software can be downloaded from the Scaglione website at www.Scigiene.com. Follow the instructions provided in the Installation Wizard.

Installing the Docking Station

Device Operation

Connecting and Starting the Data Logger

Once the software is installed and running, plug the interface cable into the docking station.
Connect the USB end of the interface cable into an open USB port on the computer.
Place the data logger into the docking station.
The data logger will automatically appear under Connected Devices within the software.
For most applications, select Custom Start from the menu bar and choose the desired start method, reading rate and other parameters appropriate for the data logging application and click Start. (Quick Start applies the most recent custom start options, Batch Start is used for managing multiple loggers at once, Real Time Start stores the dataset as it records while connected to the logger.)
The status of the device will change to Running or Waiting to Start, depending upon your start method.
Disconnect the data logger from the interface cable and place it in the environment to measure.
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

Place the logger into the docking station.
Highlight the data logger in the Connected Devices list. Click Stop on the menu bar.
Once the data logger is stopped, with the logger highlighted, click Download.
Downloading will offload and save all the recorded data to the PC.

Trigger Settings
The device can be programmed to only record based off user configured trigger settings.

In the Connected Devices panel, click the device desired.
On the Device Tab, in the Information Group, click Properties. Or, right-click the device and select Properties in the context menu.
Select Trigger in the Properties window.
Trigger formats are available in Window or Two Point Mode. Window mode allows a high and/or low trigger set point, and a trigger sample count or “window” of time recorded when set points are exceeded to be defined. Two point allows for different Start and Stop setpoints to be defined for both the high and low triggers.

Set Password
To password protect the device so that others cannot start, stop or reset the device:

In the Connected Devices panel, click the device desired.
On the Device Tab, in the Information Group, click Properties. Or, right-click the device and select Properties in the context menu.
On the General Tab, click Set Password.
Enter and confirm the password in the box that appears, then select OK.

Device Maintenance

O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the SciTemp140-FP. The O-rings ensure a tight seal and prevent liquid from entering the inside of the device.

Battery Replacement
Materials: SD900097-00

Unscrew the bottom of the logger and remove the battery.
Place the new battery into the logger. Note the polarity of the battery. It is important to insert the battery with positive polarity pointing upward towards the probe. Failure to do so could result in product inoperability or potential explosion if exposed to high temperatures.
Screw the cover back onto the logger.

Recalibration
Scaglione recommends annual recalibration. To send devices back for calibration, contact Scaglione.
Note: This product is rated for use up to 140 °C (284 °F). Please heed the battery warning. The product will explode if exposed to temperatures above 140 °C (284 °F).
