HiTemp140-M12
PRODUCT USER GUIDE
Product Overview
The HiTemp140-M12 is a rugged and versatile high
temperature data logger featuring an M12 probe
connector. Compatible with a wide variety of M12 RTD
probe styles, this data logger is capable of measuring up to
850 °C (1,562 °F) (probe dependent).
All of MadgeTech’s HiTemp140 data loggers have a water
tight body enclosure made of food grade stainless steel
and can be placed in environments with temperatures as
high as 140 °C (284 °F). The operating range of the data
logger body can be extended to higher temperatures when
used with MadgeTech’s thermal barrier options and a
suitable probe.
A wide selection of compatible M12 probes are
available on the market to choose from, making the
HiTemp140-M12 the most dynamic data logger of its
kind. With the ability to change probes as needed, this
device satisfies a multitude of application needs with one
powerful data logger versus the need for multiple loggers.
Note: Specific M12 wiring configuration is required for compatibility (see
page 3).
Water Resistance
The HiTemp140-M12 logger itself is rated IP40 and not
submersible. It will inherit the IP rating of the probe it
is attached to, allowing for potential submergibility,
depending upon the probe.

a 4 pin female M12 connection
port which allows the user to
change probes as desired. The
HiTemp140-M12 will inherit
the IP rating of the probe it is
attached to, (up to, and
including IP68/IP69K).
Probe Connection
Connecting probes to the HiTemp140-M12
Materials: 15 mm wrench,
Compatible Probe with
M12 Connector
1. Connect the probe to
the data logger, using
the wiring diagram in the
previous section.
2. Use a 15 mm hex wrench to tighten the threads and
secure the probe to the data logger.
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
Materials: ER14250MR-145 Battery
1. Unscrew the bottom of the logger and remove the
battery.
2. 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.
3. Screw the cover back onto the logger.
Recalibration
MadgeTech recommends annual recalibration. To send
devices back for calibration, visit madgetech.com.
The HiTemp140-M12 is
compatible with probes that
have the wiring configuration
as shown above.
