Product Notes
The HiTemp140 is a rugged, high precision, temperature data logger that is built for use with
autoclaves and harsh environments. This stainless steel device is submersible, can withstand
temperatures up to 140 °C (284 °F) and has an accuracy of +/-0.1 °C (0.18 °F).
The HiTemp140 can store up to 32,700 readings, and features a rigid external probe capable
of measuring extended temperatures, up to 260 °C (500 °F). Custom probe lengths up to
7 inches are available. The device records date and time stamped readings, and has non-
volatile solid state memory that will retain data even if the battery becomes discharged. The
HiTemp140 can be used in both wet and dry applications up to 140 °C indefinitely.
Submergibility
The HiTemp140 is fully submersible and is rated IP68. It can be placed in environments with
up to 230 feet (70 m) of water.
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the HiTemp140. 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 on the MadgeTech website,
for information on how to prevent O-ring failure.
Note: This product is rated for use up to 140 °C. Please heed the battery warning. The product will explode if exposed to
temperatures above 140 °C.
