Product Information Card

Product Notes
Hardware Installation
Use a 3/4” wrench to tighten the NPT onto the data logger.
Note: Do not use the body of the logger as leverage, this can cause damage to the logger.
Thermocouple Type
To change the thermocouple type in the MadgeTech software:
- Select the Device Menu, then Identify Device and Read Status.
- Select the Device Detail tab, then Thermocouple Type.
- Click on the Change button in the Thermocouple Type window.
- Select the correct thermocouple type from the drop down list.
- Click on the Save button to store the thermocouple type in the device.
- Click OK.
Please note that the same thermocouple type must be used on all of the channels.
Installation Guide
Installing the Interface cable
- IFC200
Insert the device into a USB port. The drivers will install automatically.
- IFC110
Plug the serial cable into the port and verify it is secure.
Installing the software
Insert the Software CD in the CD-ROM Drive. If the autorun does not appear, locate the
drive on the computer and double click on Autorun.exe. Follow the instructions provided
in the Wizard.
Connecting the data logger
- Once the software is installed and running, plug the interface cable into the data logger.
- Click the Communication Menu, then Auto Configure Port.
- After a moment, a box will appear stating a device has been found.
- Click OK. The Device Status box will appear. Click OK.
- At this point, communications have been configured for your logger. These settings can
be found under the Communication Menu.
Note: For additional installation instructions refer to your “Data Logger & Software Operating Manual”.
Device Operation
Starting the data logger
- Click Device Menu then Start Device.
- Choose the desired start method.
- Choose the start parameters by selecting a Reading Rate suitable for your application.
- Enter in any other desired parameters and click Start.
- A box will appear stating the data logger has been started. Click OK.
- Disconnect the data logger from the interface cable and place it in the environment to
measure.
PRTC210 Product Quick Reference Card
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
- Connect the data logger to the interface cable.
- Click the Device Menu then Read Device Data. This will offload all recorded data onto
the PC.
Device Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Materials:
Phillips Head Screwdriver
Replacement Battery (LTC-7PN)
- Puncture the center of the front label with the screw driver and unscrew the enclosure.
- Remove the battery by pulling it perpendicular to the circuit board.
- Insert the new battery into the terminals and verify it is secure.
- Place the nylon spacer over the hole in the center of the board. This protects the screw.
- Place the front cover back on and screw the enclosure back together securely.
Note: Be sure not to over tighten the screws or strip the threads.
Recalibration
The PRTC210 standard calibration is one point at 25°C for the internal temperature sensor and
0mV for the thermocouple. The pressure calibration depends on the range.
Pricing:
Recalibration traceable to NIST $110.00
Recalibration $70.00
Additional Services:
Verification Point $15.00 per point
