Product Overview
The HiTemp140-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 HiTemp140-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 HiTemp140-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 dates and time-stamped readings and features a
non-volatile solid-state memory that retains data even if the battery becomes
discharged.
Water Resistance
The HiTemp140-FP is rated IP68 and is fully submersible.

- 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.

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