The MKT can be regarded as an isothermal storage temperature that simulates the non-isothermal effects of changes in the storage temperature. Source: MHRA GDP

Stop data recording
If the software has been set to stop recording, press the key for three seconds to stop recording. Furthermore, recording stops when the memory is full or the batteries are no longer sufficiently charged to ensure proper operation.

Display minimum, maximum, and average measured value
As soon as one or more measured values have been saved to the memory of the data logger, it is possible to display the MIN, MAX, and average measured values by pressing the key. If no measured values are recorded, the key can be used to display the upper and lower alarm limits.

Deactivate the audible alarm
As soon as an alarm is triggered and the meter beeps, the alarm can be acknowledged by pressing one of the two keys.

Set markers
Once the meter is in recording mode, you can switch to marker view by pressing the key. To set a marker, press the key for three seconds to save a marker in the current recording. A maximum of three markers can be set.

Read out data
To read out data from the data logger, connect the measuring instrument to the PC and start the software. When the instrument is connected to the computer, the USB icon appears on the display.

Hints

External sensor
If the external sensor was not recognized, it may have been deactivated in the software. First, activate the external sensor in the software.

Battery
When the battery icon flashes or the display shows OFF, this indicates that the batteries are low and need to be replaced. contact If you have any questions, suggestions or technical problems, please do not hesitate to contact us. You will find the relevant contact information at the end of this user manual.

Disposal
For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose. In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company that disposes of the devices in line with the law. For countries outside the EU, batteries, and devices should be disposed of in accordance with your local waste regulations. If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
