HiTemp140-FR
PRODUCT USER GUIDE
Product Overview
MadgeTech has designed the HiTemp140-FR, a high
temperature data logger with an ultra-fast response time,
to record temperature during rapidly changing thermal
processes. This high temperature data logger features a
2 in x 0.0625 in diameter probe and is capable of recording
up to 4 Hz, which is 4 times faster than other data loggers
in this class. This allows the temperature sensor to quickly
adapt and accurately record temperature variations
in changing environments. Applications include oven
profiling, steam sterilization, chamber mapping, seafood
processing, flash freezing and more.
MadgeTech’s entire HiTemp140 data logger series is designed
with food grade stainless steel. The device can be placed
in environments up to 140 °C (284 °F) and the probe is
capable of measuring from -200 °C to 260 °C (-328 °F to
500 °F). The HiTemp140-FR is also available with an
optional thermal shield enclosure to extend the operating
range of the data logger to -200 °C to 250 °C (-328 °F to 482 °F).
The Trigger Settings feature of the HiTemp140-FR 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 65,000 date and time stamped readings and
features a nonvolatile solid state memory which retains
data even if the battery becomes discharged.
Water Resistance
The HiTemp140-FR is rated IP68 and is fully submersible. It
can be placed in environments up to 230 ft (70 m) of water.

interface cable into the docking station.
2. Connect the USB end of the interface cable into an
open USB port on the computer.
3. Place the data logger into the docking station.
4. The data logger will automatically appear under
Connected Devices within the software.
5. 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,
Real Time Start stores the dataset as it records while
connected to the logger.)
6. The status of the device will change to Running,
Waiting to Start or Waiting to Manual Start,
depending upon your start method.
7. 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
1. Place the logger into the docking station.
2. Highlight the data logger in the Connected Devices
list. Click Stop on the menu bar.
3. Once the data logger is stopped, with the logger
highlighted, click Download. You will be prompted to
name your report.
4. Downloading will offload and save all the recorded
