Scigiene SciTemp140-M12 High-Temperature Data Logger with an M12 Probe
Connector
Product Overview
The SciTemp140-M12 is a high-temperature data logger with an M12 probe
connector. It is a versatile data logger that can be used with a wide
selection of compatible M12 probes that are available on the market. This
device can satisfy a multitude of application needs with one powerful data
logger instead of the need for multiple loggers. Note that a specific M12
wiring configuration is required for compatibility.
The SciTemp140-M12 logger itself is rated IP40 and not submersible. However,
it will inherit the IP rating of the probe it is attached to, allowing for
potential submergibility, depending upon the probe.
Installation Guide
Installing the Software
The software can be downloaded from the Science website at www.Scigiene.com. Follow the instructions provided in the Installation Wizard to install the software.
Installing the Docking Station IFC400 or IFC406 (sold separately)
Follow the instructions provided in the Installation Wizard to install the USB Interface Drivers. Drivers can also be downloaded from the Scigiene website at Scigiene.com.
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 to 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, and 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 that 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 on user-configured trigger settings. Follow these steps:
- 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.
Product Overview
- The SciTemp140-M12 is a rugged and versatile high temperature data logger featuring an M12 probe connector. Compatible with a wide variety of M12 RTD probe styles, this data logger is capable of measuring up to 850 °C (1,562 °F) (probe dependent).
- All of Scigiene’s SciTemp140 data loggers have a water tight body enclosure made of food grade stainless steel and can be placed in environments with temperatures as high as 140 °C (284 °F). The operating range of the data logger body can be extended to higher temperatures when used with Scigiene’s thermal barrier options and a suitable probe.
- A wide selection of compatible M12 probes are available on the market to choose from, making the SciTemp140-M12 the most dynamic data logger of its kind. With the ability to change probes as needed, this device satisfies a multitude of application needs with one powerful data logger versus the need for multiple loggers.
- Note: Specific M12 wiring configuration is required for compatibility
Water Resistance
- The SciTemp140-M12 logger itself is rated IP40 and not submersible. It will inherit the IP rating of the probe it is attached to, allowing for potential submergibility, depending upon the probe.

Wiring the Data Logger
SciTemp140-M12 connector is a 4 pin female M12 connection port which allows the user to change probes as desired. The SciTemp140-M12 will inherit the IP rating of the probe it is attached to, (up to, and including IP68/IP69K).
The SciTemp140-M12 is compatible with probes that have the wiring configuration as shown above.
Probe Connection
Connecting probes to the SciTemp140-M12 Materials: 15 mm wrench, Compatible Probe with M12 Connector
- Connect the probe to the data logger, using the wiring diagram in the previous section.
- Use a 15 mm hex wrench to tighten the threads and secure the probe to the data logger.
Device Maintenance
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the
SciTemp140-M12. The O-rings ensure a tight seal and prevent liquid from
entering the inside of the device.
Battery Replacement
Materials: ER14250-SM
- 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
Science recommends annual recalibration. To send devices back for calibration,
contact Scigiene.
