1. Installation and beginning of operation
1.1. Software installation
Before connecting the hardware the software must
be installed.
Please insert the enclosed CD-ROM in the CD-ROM
drive of your PC.
 Openthele“Setup.exe”fromtheCD-ROM.
 Follow the instructions on the screen.
If wanted a new installation path can be created.
After the end of the installation procedure the soft-
ware of the USB-MESY HID is installed on your PC.
1.2. Hardware installation
 Installthesoftwarerst.
Connect the USB-MESY HID with the enclosed USB-
connecting cable to a free USB port of your PC.
The operating system will recognize the new USB
device and will install the necessary driver automati-
cally.
Instruction:
Charge the internal accumulator of the MESY com-
pletelybeforetherstuse.Forthispurposeconnect
the USB-MESY HID with a free USB-port of your PC.
The charge of a complete empty accumulator via the
USB-interface will take approx. 10 hours.
You can use the external power supply to charge the
MESY alternatively. For this keep attention for the
instructions on the USB-MESY HID case. With the
external power supply the time for the charge will
only take approx. 1 hour.
A nearly empty accumulator will be signalized by the red LED
“Power”.Iftheaccumulatoriscompletelyempty,theMESYwill
switch off automatically. A possible running measurement will be
stopped, too.
1 hour charging time at USB-port = 10 min. MESY operating time
1 min. charging time with external power supply = 10 min. MESY
operating time

4. Executing the measurement
NOTICE
Damages at the electronics by high temperature
Avoid categorical an internal temperature of the
MESY of more than 60°C.
4.1. Executing the measurement
Proceed the following steps to run a measurement with the
USB-MESY HID with the standard parameters:
Connect the desired number of thermocouple sen-
sorswiththeinputs“Channel1…3".
Press the button [On/Off] at the MESY until you hear
a short beep for 5 times to switch on the USB-MESY
HID. To press the buried button you can use a ball
pen for example.
Press the button [Measure Start/Stop] until you hear
a long beep to start the measurement.
The measurement begins. Measurement values will
berecordedwiththepredenedintervalof0,5sec-
onds and will be stored in the memory of the MESY.
After you have recorded all desired measurement
values press the button [Measure Start/Stop]. You
will hear two long beeps and the USB-MESY stops
the measurement.
An internal temperature of more than 60°C will be signalized by
an interval beep (0,5 sec.) if the MESY is switched on.
If this sound appears the MESY should be taken to a
cooler place immediately.
The signal will sound as long as the temperature will fall under
40°C again. Only then a new measurement can be started.
Use the optional available Thermo insulating box
571.77 for an optimal heat protection.
With this box you can use the MESY in ambient tem-
peratures up to 300°C and residence times up to 450
seconds without problems.

Take the USB connecting cable and connect the
USB-MESY HID with your PC.
Connect the thermocouple sensors of type K with the
measurement system.
 Startthesoftware“MesyforWindows”.
 ChooseinthepulldownmenuMesy/……/Adjust-
ment".
With the button [Reset] you can reset the adjust-
ments values back to the standard settings at any
time.Afterconrmationthevalueswillbereset.
You can also read out the already existing adjust-
ment values by pressing the button [Read].
 Provide two pots filled with an insulating fluid with
two different temperatures, for example 25°C and
100°C.
4.2. Adjustment of the measurement box
Thermocouple sensors are available with different accuracies.
With this function you can adjust the USB-MESY HID for each
connected sensor.
This adjustment is a two point adjustment. Temperatures mea-
sured with the MESY will be compared with a second calibrated
temperature value.
Press the button [On/Off] until you hear two long
beeps to switch off the MESY.
Attention:
A starting of a new measurement will overwrite
the previous recorded values.
Connect the USB-MESY HID with your PC to read
the recorded measurement values. The MESY will
switch on automatically.
Startthesoftware“MesyforWindows”andpressthe
button [2] START to read the recorded values. The
values will be readout from the memory of the USB-
MESY HID and will be shown on the monitor.

 Thechannelswillbeadjustedtogetherat25°Crst
and then at 100°C.
Insert the ends of the thermocouple sensors of all 3
channelsinthepotwiththe25°Cuid.
Start with channel 1.
Select channel 1 in the adjustment menu.
Enter the value 250 (temperature in 1/10 °C) in the
eld<AdjustLo>.
Press the button [Adjust Lo].
In the table you will see the entered value and the
measured value of the USB-MESY now.
Follow the same procedure for the channels 2 and 3
Now the channels will be adjusted with the tempera-
ture 100°C.
Insert the ends of the thermocouple sensors of all 3
channels in the pot with the 100°C medium.
Start with channel 1.
Select channel 1 in the adjustment menu.
Enter the value 1000 (temperature in 1/10 °C) in the
eld<AdjustHigh>.
Press the button [Adjust High].
In the table you will see the entered value and the
measured value of the USB-MESY HID now.
NOTICE
Danger of short circuit by water
Use an adequate medium, for example oil
CAUTION
Danger of burns
Take care while handling hot media.

Instruction:
If there is any malfunction of the USB-MESY HID you can use
the hidden button in the lower right corner (under the inscription
“0,5–600s/Sample)toswitchofftheMESY.Useaballpenfor
example to press the button.
Follow the same procedure for the channels 2 and 3.
 Closethewindow“Adjustment”.
If you press the button [Start] a measurement will
start. With a correct adjustment you should see the
graphs of all channels at 25°C or at 100°C (end of
thermocouplesensorsmustbeintheaccordinguid).
