Product Notes
Engineering Units
Engineering units are used to convert one measurement reading to another. The
MadgeTech software allows for software level Engineering Units (conversion applied to
data after download). Certain devices have device level Engineering Units, which upon
download automatically appear in the chosen unit of measure.
Please refer to the application note “Engineering Units” and Technical Support Videos,
found on the MadgeTech website, for information on how to manage Engineering Units.
Also view the Engineering Units Video for step-by-step setup instructions.
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 USB Stick in an open USB port. 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.
Device Operation
Connecting and Starting the data logger
- Once the software is installed and running, plug the interface cable into the data logger.
Product Information Card
QuadVolt and OctVolt
- Connect the USB end of the interface cable into an open USB port on the computer.
- The device will appear in the Connected Devices list, highlight the desired data logger.
- 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.)
- The status of the device will change to “Running”, “Waiting to Start” or “Waiting to
Manual Start”, depending upon your start method.
- 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
- Highlight the data logger in the Connected Devices list. Click “Stop” on the menu bar.
- Once the data logger is stopped, with the logger highlighted, click “Download”. You will
be prompted to name your report.
- Downloading will offload and save all the recorded data to the PC.
Device Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Materials: 3/32” HEX Driver (Allen Key) and Replacement Battery (U9VL-J)
- Remove the cover from the device by unscrewing the four screws.
- Remove the battery from its compartment and unsnap it from the connector.
- Snap the new battery into the terminals and verify it is secure.
- Replace the cover taking care not to pinch the wires. Screw the enclosure back together
securely.
Note: Be sure not to over tighten the screws or strip the threads.
Recalibration
