Operating Instructions
Starting the Logger
To begin data logging, press and hold the button for approximately 5 seconds until the "REC" indicator appears on the LCD screen, confirming that recording has started.
Stopping the Logger
The logger can be stopped in two ways:
- Manual Stop: Press and hold the button for approximately 5 seconds until the "STOP" indicator appears.
- Auto-Stop: The logger will automatically stop recording once its memory capacity is full or the configured log cycle duration is reached.
Viewing Data on LCD
The LCD screen provides real-time temperature and humidity readings, as well as status indicators. You can scroll through different display modes by briefly pressing the button (e.g., to view current temperature, humidity, max/min values, or alarm status).

- Cleaning: Wipe the device clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Battery: The device contains a single-use lithium battery with a life of approximately 2 years when stored and used under normal temperature conditions. The battery is not user-replaceable.
- Storage: Store the logger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LogEt 1TH, consider the following:
- Device not starting: Ensure the button is pressed and held for the required 5 seconds. Check if the battery life has expired (though designed for 2 years, extreme conditions can affect it).
- No PDF report generated: Ensure the device is fully inserted into the USB port. Try a different USB port or computer.
- Inaccurate readings: Ensure the device is placed in an environment where air can circulate freely around the sensors. Avoid placing it directly next to heat sources or cold spots.
- LCD display not working: Check for physical damage. If the device has been exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity, allow it to return to normal operating conditions.
For persistent issues, please contact Elitech customer support.
