PRODUCT USER GUIDE
Product Overview
The HiTemp140-PT is a submersible, temperature data logger that can operate from -40 °C (-40 °F) up to +140 °C (+284 °F) and has an accuracy of +/-0.1 °C (0.18 °F). The device features a 12 or 24-inch bendable stainless steel probe for measuring extended temperatures up to 350 °C (662 °F). The probe is durable and can be spiraled, bent, or angled in any direction, making it easy to log temperatures within bottles, vials, or other hard-to-reach places.
Water Resistance
The HiTemp140-PT is fully submersible and is rated IP68. It can be placed in
environments with up to 230 feet (70 m) of water.
Bend Radius
The flexible probe on the HiTemp140-PT can be bent to a 0.25-inch bend radius.
The probe should not be bent within 1 inch of either weld joint.

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: 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.
- 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 points allow for different Start and Stop setpoints to be defined for both the high and low triggers.
Refer to the Trigger Settings – MadgeTech 4 Data Logger Software video on madgetech.com for instructions on how to configure Trigger Settings.

Device Maintenance
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the HiTemp140-PT.
The O-rings ensure a tight seal and prevent liquid from entering the inside of
the device. Please refer to the application note O-Rings 101:
Protecting Your Data, found at madgetech.com, for information on how to
prevent O-ring failure.
Battery Replacement
Materials: ER14250MR-145 Battery
-
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
MadgeTech recommends annual recalibration. To send devices back for
calibration, visit madgetech.com.
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).
