CorTemp®
Data Recorder v4.3
9001 Series
I. Overview
The CorTemp®Data Recorder used in conjunction with a HQI Temperature Sensor
provides a complete electronic thermometer system that is easy to use and provides
accurate core body temperature measurements (± 0.1°C). The system uses an ingestible,
wireless sensor, which transmits a signal via a near-field magnetic link to the data recorder.
This system has obvious advantages over a "wired probe", for monitoring individuals
performing strenuous activities or working in hazardous environments.
The recorder captures the core body temperature of single or multiple subjects while
participating in sports, working in hazardous conditions, or participating in research
activities in two different modes of monitoring / data collection:
AUTO RUN MODE – CorTemp®Data Recorder is worn by the monitored subject
while data is collected at user programmable intervals.
SPORTS MODE – CorTemp®Data Recorder is held by an athletic trainer taking
individual readings of single or multiple players.

III. CorTemp®Data Recorder – Standard Menu
The CorTemp®Data Recorder receives the signal from the HQI
Temperature Sensor and converts the signal frequency into
digital temperature data. This temperature data is displayed on
the recorder LCD screen with a resolution of 0.01 degree. The
recorder operates within environments between 10 and 50
degrees Celsius. The temperature / heart rate is sampled at
user programmable intervals and displayed for real time
monitoring, while simultaneously saving to memory for future
download and analysis.
The recorder can be programmed as a standalone unit with the
keypad, or it can be programmed by the CorTrack®II Software
from your PC / Laptop. The recorder can be programmed with
up to 99 sensor calibration numbers and record / store up to
25,000 readings. The recorder can be used as an ambulatory
unit (AUTO RUN MODE) to collect temperature / heart rate data
for extended periods from one subject, or as a handheld unit
(SPORTS MODE) to collect individual temperature / heart rate
readings from multiple players, easily switching back and forth
between players (active sensors). The data, when
downloaded, displays the active sensor (player) number, the date of the collection period,
and time correlated temperature / heart rate readings.
A. Programming the Data Recorder – Standard Menu
A.1. Battery Installation
The recorder operates on a 9V alkaline battery. Energizer®, Duracell®, or Ultralife®brands
of battery are recommended. The battery will provide approximately 110 hours of
continuous recording at 10 second intervals and can last up to 336 hours (14 days),
depending on the sampling interval.
To install the battery in the recorder, do the following:
1. Press down on the battery compartment release button; while pressing down, slide the
battery compartment cover towards the bottom of the detector. (Figure 1)
2. Connect the battery connector to the 9V battery. (Figure 2)
3. Insert the battery into the battery compartment. (Figure 3)
4. Attach the battery cover by aligning the cover with the housing, then slide the cover up
until it latches closed. (Figure 4)

A.3. Turning ON the Data Recorder
NOTE: If the recorder has been OFF for a week or more, turn the recorder ON for
approximately 10 minutes. This allows the internal components to recharge. After
10 minutes, turn the recorder OFF. Then, after 1 minute, turn the recorder back ON
and initialize the Data Recorder. (Refer to Section III, Part A.12.: Initializing the Data
Recorder).
To turn ON the recorder, do the following:
1. Once the battery has been installed turn the ON / OFF switch to the ON position.
2. The recorder will run a self-test. During the self-test, screens similar to the following
will display. The Firmware Revision #, Heart Rate option, and System Frequency are
noted as below. The system frequency for HT130003 / HT130042 is 262kHz and no
system frequency is displayed on the recorder LCD, while the system frequency for
HT130030 / HT130043 is 300kHz and the system frequency is displayed on the
recorder LCD.
3. On completion of the self-test, the date and time will appear briefly. The date
represents the last programmed date and the time represents the current time. Verify
that the date is not 00-00-00 and that the time is correct.
A.4. Exit / Standby Mode
