Device Maintenance
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the HiTemp140-M12.
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

-
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.
