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.
