1.0 DESCRIPTION
The Track-It Pressure/Temperature and Vacuum/
Temperature Data Loggers with Display are
baery-powered, standalone, waterght data
loggers that emulate a pressure gauge. They
can be congured to record both Pressure and
Temperature up to 130,000 samples or Pressure
alone, to maximize data storage space. Real-me
data, alarms, and min/max informaon can be
displayed on the mul-line LCD. The unit is easily
congured using the free downloadable Track-It
PC Soware. There is a mini-USB connector on
the rear of the unit, allowing connecon to a PC
for programming and data upload. Data upload can also be done with a
device for Android™ using the Transporter App available on the Google
Play™ store.
The Logger can be programmed to record data from 10 mes a second up
to once a day. The user iniates the recording immediately, manually via
the keypad buons, at some future preset me, or on an alarm condion.
The display can be programmed to display pressure in various engineering
units depending on pressure range. It can also display temperature,
minimum and maximum values, percentage of memory used, me and
date.
Track-It Pressure/Temp and Vacuum/Temp Data Loggers are packaged in
a rugged, waterght anodized aluminum and stainless steel housing and
have a standard ¼″ NPT ng for vacuum and pressure ranges up to 5800
PSI or ½″ NPT for higher pressure ranges. The replaceable internal lithium
baery has up to a 3-year life.

4.0 INSTALLATION
The Logger can be ordered with various
pressure sensors to cover most applicaons.
Pressure ranges up to 5800 PSI have a ¼″ male
NPT thread intended to screw into the pressure
source. Ranges over 5800 PSI use ½″ NPT. Make
sure to use suitable tape or thread sealant/
dope on the threads before inserng the
Logger into the port. Use an adjustable wrench
on the SENSOR NUT to ghten the device into
the port and test for leaks. Do NOT ghten by hand turning the display
head.
Once installed, the dial can be rotated 300 degrees about the sensor to the
intended viewing direcon. The gauge face can also be rotated 330 degrees
by undoing the blue bezel, liing the front panel and associated electronics
and rotang it to the desired posion. Ensure the O-ring gasket is in place
before replacing the bezel. Do not stress any of the internal wiring.
5.0 BATTERY
The unit operates o a 1/2 AA 3.6V lithium
baery. The baery is accessed by removing
the rear bezel ring and cover. Gently extract the
baery and replace as needed. NOTE POLARITY
WHEN REPLACING – the unit will not operate if
the baery is reversed. Ensure the O-ring is in
place before replacing the cover and bezel. Do
not stress any of the internal wiring.
5.1 Vent
All gauge (PSIG) sensors are vented to
atmosphere through a small hole on the
rear cover. DO NOT cover or block the vent
or the logger may read incorrectly. DO NOT
insert anything into the vent hole as it may
damage the waterproof membrane. 3

value to zero (oset into relave mode). Press ►
buon to toggle between modes. SEt will acvate
relave mode, OFF will set to absolute mode.
NOTE: When set, the OFS icon will show on the
display. This menu item is only visible if the Zero
Mode is enabled in the Admin menu and the Admin
menu is NOT Locked.
7.0 LCD
The display has 4½ 7-segment digits to show
actual values of pressure and temperature.
There is also a line of 4 alphanumeric digits
used to display ASCII text (e.g. Pressure
Units). The display is oponally backlit;
the backlight is iniated for 5 seconds
by pressing any buon. If the pressure is
greater than 19999, the resoluon is set to
10 units and is indicated by the x10 icon. The maximum value displayed is
therefore 199990.
There is a bar graph at the top of the display (which can be turned o by
the user) giving an analog indicaon of values relave to 100% which is
the full scale value of the sensor. Note that in the Pressure Oset mode,
the bar graph indicates the absolute value of the pressure as a funcon of
full scale.
5 6

In addion to these values, the display can be scrolled using the ◄or
► buons and may show (depending on conguraon) minimum and
maximum values of pressure and temperature, date as day/month - 24.07
or month/day - 07.24, me in 12 or 24-hour format (12-hour format will be
indicated by AM or PM – 08:30 AM), and memory usage as a % of available
memory. Values shown are set in the display setup using the Track-It PC
Soware. See below for details.
There are various icon indicaons on the display that indicate the following:
Indicates the unit is currently recording. This icon will blink at a 2
second rate.
Indicates the unit is currently triggered and waing to record. Record
is iniated by me delay or buon depending on conguraon.
Indicates an Alarm condion (high or low).
On its own (no Alarm), indicates Maximum value. Visible when
scrolling through display if set.
On its own, indicates Minimum value. Visible when scrolling
through display if set.
Indicates the reading has been oset and is relave. (Zero mode
acve.)
If present, this indicates the baery is low and should be replaced.
If blinking, it indicates readings may be compromised; unit may
shut down and the baery should be replaced immediately.
Indicates the current numerical value displayed must be mulplied
by 10.
Bar graph shows
percentage of full scale
(0 to 100%) of the value
indicated. This can indicate Pressure, Temperature or percentage
of memory used when recording. Note that in the Pressure Oset
mode, the bar graph will show the percentage of full scale of the
absolute value not the oset value currently displayed. The bar can
be disabled in the menu.
8.0 LED
There is an LED (Light Eming Diode) above the display to the le. This LED
is user programmable using the Track-It PC Soware (see below) and can
indicate that the unit is recording (green blink) or an Alarm condion exists
(red blink). It will also blink green when serial communicaon is taking
place through the USB port.
9.0 TRACK-IT SOFTWARE
The Track-It Soware runs on a PC and enables the user to upload data,
customize, and program the Logger through a USB connecon. The
operaon of the Track-It Soware is described in its own manual which is
accessed via the Help - Manual opon.
There are a number of unique opons specically for this Display Pressure
Logger which are covered below.
9.1 Preferences
Select Preferences then the Eng Units tab. You will see the pop-up box
shown right.
These engineering units apply to the data read from the Logger and
displayed on the graph or in the data table.
If the Units from Logger box is checked, the selecon of engineering
units here is ignored and the engineering units used will be as set by
default in the Logger. If the Units from Logger box is unchecked, then
the unit selected here will override that set in the Logger.

more informaon about
Absolute versus Gauge
measurements, refer to our
App Note found here: click to
link.
9.2 Input Setup
Under the Device Setup tab,
select the Input tab and the
Chan 1 tab.
This seng allows the
user to select the default
engineering units that
will be displayed on the
Logger LCD. Note that not
all engineering units are
available; it depends on the full-scale range of the pressure sensor, as
some values will be too large to display on the Logger. Also note that
these units may be changed locally at the Logger if the menu is set up
to allow this. (See next page.)
The units selected here will be used when reading data from the Logger
unless overridden in the Preferences menu.
The Pressure channel cannot be disabled; the Logger will always record
Pressure.
Note that selecng anything other than Instantaneous for Sample
Mode (the Logger only takes a reading at the Record Rate) will cause
the Logger to take readings at the highest sample rate and will have an
adverse eect on the baery life.
The Chan 2 tab is similar but for the Temperature channel. The
Temperature channel can be disabled; in which case, the Logger will
only record Pressure, not Temperature and Pressure.
9.3 Display Setup
Under the Device Setup tab select the Display tab.
These sengs allow the user to decide what is displayed on the Logger
LCD and denes the funcon of the LED.
The Display List column shows the available funcons that are available
to be displayed on the Logger and the LCD Display column are the
funcons that will be displayed on the Logger. The user can move the
opons between the columns by selecng the opon (clicking on it)
and using the arrow keys. Note that Pressure cannot be moved from
the LCD.
