Product Overview
The OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP is a durable, user friendly high temperature data logger featuring a long, flexible
RTD probe with a narrow diameter, making it ideal for use in lyophilization processes.
Commonly used for mapping, validation and monitoring of high temperature surfaces and environments, this
stainless steel data logger is available in two models, the OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP-36 and the
OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP-72, which feature either 36” or 72” flexible probe lengths, respectively. The flexible
probe is coated with PFA insulation and can withstand temperatures up to 260°C with an accuracy of ±0.1°C.
The OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP probe design is narrow and lightweight making it ideal for placement within small
vials, tubing, test tube and other small diameter or delicate applications. Because of the flexible probe, the
risks of breakage (both vial and probe) generally associated with stainless steel probe loggers are diminished
and the location and placement of the probe is easy to manipulate. The device records and stores up to
32,700 time stamped readings and is equipped with non-volatile solid state memory that will continue
recording even if battery becomes discharged.
The OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP can be configured for delayed start and is capable of reading rates as often as four
readings per second, up to once every 24 hours.
Submergibility
The OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP is rated IP68 and is fully submersible. It can be placed in environments up to 230’
(70m) of water.
Bend Radius
The probe should not be bent within 1” where the probe meets the logger or less than 1” from the probe tip.
O-Rings
O-ring maintenance is a key factor when properly caring for the OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP. The O-rings ensure a
tight seal and prevent liquid from entering the inside of the device.
Trigger Settings
The device can be programmed to only record based o 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. Additionally, this product is not
ideal for steam sterilization application above 121°C /1.1 bar.

Troubleshooting Tips
Why is the data logger not appearing in the software?
If the OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP doesn’t appear in the Connected Devices panel, or an error message is received
while using the OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP, try the following:
• Check that the OM-CP-IFC400 is properly connected. For more information, see Troubleshooting Interface
Cable problems (below).
• Ensure that the battery is not discharged. For best voltage accuracy, use a voltage meter connected to the
battery of the device. If possible, try switching the battery with a new OM-CP-BAT110.
• Ensure that no other Omega software is running in the background.
• Ensure that Omega Software is being used.
• Ensure that the Connected Devices panel is large enough to display devices. This can be verified by
positioning the cursor on the edge of the Connected Devices panel until the resize cursor appears, then
dragging the edge of the panel to resize it. The screen layout may also be reset in the options menu by
selecting File, Options, and scrolling to the bottom.
Troubleshooting Interface Cable problems
Check that the software properly recognizes the connected OM-CP-IFC400.
If the data logger is not appearing in the Connected Devices list, it may be that the OM-CP-IFC400 is not
properly connected.
1. In the software, click the File button, then click Options.
2. In the Options window, click Communications.
3. The Detected Interfaces box will list all of the available communication interfaces. If the OM-CP-IFC400 is
listed here, then the software has correctly recognized and is ready to use it.
Check that Windows recognizes the connected OM-CP-IFC400.
If the software does not recognize the OM-CP-IFC400, there may be a problem with Windows or the USB
drivers.
1. In Windows, click Start, right-click Computer and choose Properties or press Windows+Break as a
keyboard shortcut.
2. Click Device Manager in the left hand column.
3. Double click Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
4. Look for an entry for Data logger Interface.
5. If the entry is present, and there are no warning messages or icons, then windows has correctly
recognized the connected OM-CP-IFC400.
6. If the entry is not present, or has an exclamation point icon next to it, the USB drivers may need to be
installed. These are available on the software flash drive included with the OM-CP-IFC400.
Ensure that the USB end of the OM-CP-IFC400 is securely connected to the computer.
1. Locate the USB-A plug of the OM-CP-IFC400.
2. If the interface cable is connected to the PC, unplug it. Wait ten seconds.
3. Reconnect the cable to the PC.
4. Check to make sure that the red LED is lit, indicating a successful connection.

2. Connect the USB end of the interface cable into an open USB port on the computer. Place the data logger
into the docking station.
3. The data logger will automatically appear under Connected Devices within the software.
4. 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.)
5. The status of the device will change to “Running”, “ Waiting to Start” or “Waiting to Manual Start”,
depending upon your start method.
6. Disconnect the data logger from the docking station 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
1. Connect the logger to the interface cable.
2. Highlight the data logger in the Connected Devices list. Click “Stop” on the menu bar.
3. Once the data logger is stopped, with the logger highlighted, click “Download”. You will be prompted to
name your report.
4. Downloading will ooad and save all the recorded data to the PC.

Product Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Materials: OM-CP-BAT110
1. Unscrew the bottom of the logger and remove the battery.
2. Place the new battery into the logger. Note the polarity of the battery.
3. Screw the cover back onto the logger.
Recalibration
The OM-CP-HITEMP140-FP standard calibrations are two points at 30°C and 140°C.
Recalibration is recommended annually for any Omega data logger; a reminder is automatically displayed in
the software when the device is due.
Notice: Steam Sterilization Applications
The pervasive nature of pressurized steam creates a very dicult environment for electronics.
Please refer to the following preventative maintenance procedure when using this device in steam sterilization
applications.
Additionally, this device is not ideal for steam sterilization applications above 121 °C/1.1 bar.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
After every 3 hours of steam exposure:
1. Remove the endcap and battery from the device (ref. battery change procedure on Product User Guide)
2. Place open logger (minus battery) in an oven at 120°C (250°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes
3. Remove logger from oven and allow to cool to room temp
4. Re-assemble the logger with the battery (note polarity) and endcap
