HiTemp140-M12
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 (1562 °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.
The HiTemp140-M12 records and stores up to 43,690 time stamped readings and is
equipped with non-volatile solid state memory which retains data even if the battery
becomes discharged.
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 4)
Submergibility
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.
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the HiTemp140-M12. 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.
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.
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 (284ºF).

- 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
- Place the logger into the docking station.
- 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.
