HiTemp140-PT
PRODUCT USER GUIDE
Product Overview
The HiTemp140-PT is a submersible, temperature data
logger that can operate from -20 °C (-4 °F) up to 140 °C
(284 °F) and has an accuracy of +/-0.1 °C (0.18 °F). The
device features a 24 inch bendable stainless steel probe
for measuring extended temperatures up to 350 °C (662 °F).
The probe is durable and can be spiraled, bent or angled
in any direction, making it easy to log temperatures within
bottles, vials or other hard to reach places.
Water Resistance
The HiTemp140-PT is fully submersible and is rated IP68. It
can be placed in environments with up to 230 feet (70 m)
of water.
Bend Radius
The flexible probe on the HiTemp140-PT can be bent to a
.25 inch bend radius. The probe should not be bent within
1 inch of either weld joint.
Installation Guide
Installing the Software
The Software can be downloaded from the MadgeTech
website at madgetech.com. Follow the instructions
provided in the Installation Wizard.
Installing the Docking Station
IFC400 or IFC406 (sold separately) — Connect the device
into a USB port with the interface cable and install the
drivers.
Device Operation
Connecting and Starting the Data Logger
1. Once the software is installed and running, plug the
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
data to the PC.

Device Operation (cont’d)
Trigger Settings
The device can be programmed to only record based off
user configured trigger settings.
1. In the Connected devices panel, select the intended
device to change the settings.
2. On the Device tab, in the Information group, click
Properties. Users can also right-click on the device
and select Properties in the context menu.
3. Click Trigger and configure the Trigger settings.
Trigger formats are available in Window and Two Point
(bi-level) mode. Window mode allows for one range of
temperature monitoring and two point mode allows
for two ranges.
Set Password
To password protect the device so that others cannot
start, stop or reset the device:
1. In the Connected Devices panel, click the device desired.
2. On the Device Tab, in the Information Group, click
Properties. Or, right-click the device and select
Properties in the context menu.
3. On the General Tab, click Set Password.
4. Enter and confirm the password in the box that
appears, then select OK.
Device Maintenance
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly
caring for the HiTemp140-PT. 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:
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
Note: This product is rated for use up to 140 °C
(284 ºF). Please heed the battery warning. The
product will explode if exposed to temperatures
above 140 °C (284 ºF).

Disclaimer & Terms of Use
Published specifications can be used to determine maximum allowable exposure times for the HiTemp140 with Thermal
Shield at different temperatures beyond the normal operating range of the logger. Both the data logger and Thermal Shield
must be at ambient temperature (approximately 25 °C) before being placed in the extreme temperature environment.
Immediately following exposure to high temperature, the data logger should be removed from the thermal shield
(using appropriate precautions, as it could be VERY hot) OR the data logger and shield should be placed in a water bath
(approximately 25 °C) for at least 15 minutes to allow it to cool. Failing to do this may allow heat trapped in the Thermal
Shield to continue to heat the data logger to potentially unsafe levels.
If your application involves a ramp up to a temperature above 140 °C and/or any complex temperature profile that isn’t simply
a constant temperature, please contact MadgeTech to determine whether the HiTemp140 with Thermal Shield is suitable.
Please provide MadgeTech with a detailed description of your temperature profile, including temperatures, durations,
ramp times, and process media (air, steam, oil, water, etc.) If MadgeTech is unable to definitively calculate the suitability of
our product for your application, we can provide a test unit outfitted with a high temperature indicator sticker. This sticker
has an indicator dot which will turn black if exposed to temperatures above 143 °C. Apply the sticker to the bottom of the
data logger itself (not the thermal shield), remove the battery for safety, place the data logger into the thermal shield and
run the assembly through the proposed temperature program. The first indicator dot on the sticker will turn black at 143 °C. If
that happens, the HiTemp140 with thermal shield is not appropriate for the application and we will work to find a solution
that is.
