Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: Press the Power button (green circle icon) to turn the device on or off.
- Display Backlight: Press the Light Bulb button to toggle the display backlight on or off for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
- Unit Conversion: Press the °C/°F button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units.
- Thermocouple Type Selection: Press the TYPE button to cycle through the supported thermocouple types (K, J, E, T, N, S, R, B) for the active channel. Ensure the selected type matches your connected probe for accurate readings.
- Hold Function: Press the HOLD button to freeze the current temperature readings on the display. Press again to resume live readings.
- Max/Min Readings: Press the MAX button to display the maximum recorded temperature for each channel. Press the MIN button to display the minimum recorded temperature.
Data Logging
- Initiate Logging: Press the LOG button to start data recording. The device will log data points at the interval configured via the LogPro software.
- Stop Logging: Press the LOG button again to stop data recording.
- Data Transfer: Connect the device to your computer via USB and use the LogPro software to download recorded data. The software allows for viewing, analyzing, and exporting data.
Real-time Monitoring
For real-time temperature monitoring, connect the S220-T8 to your computer using the USB cable and open the LogPro software. The software will display live temperature readings from all connected channels, allowing for immediate observation and analysis.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator on the display shows low power, replace the 9V battery. Ensure the device is powered off before replacing the battery.
- Storage: Store the data logger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Calibration: Regular calibration is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy. Refer to the NIST traceable certificate for calibration details.
Troubleshooting
- Device Not Powering On:
- Check if the 9V battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge.
- Ensure the AC adapter is properly connected to the device and a working power outlet.
- Incorrect Temperature Readings:
- Verify that the correct thermocouple type is selected on the device (using the TYPE button) matching the connected probe.
- Check thermocouple connections for proper polarity and secure fit.
- Ensure the thermocouple probes are within their specified temperature range.
- Consider if the thermocouple itself is damaged or requires replacement.
- Software Not Recognizing Device:
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the device and the computer.
- Verify that the LogPro software is correctly installed. Reinstallation may be necessary.
- Check your computer's device manager for any driver issues related to the USB connection.
- Data Logging Issues:
- Confirm that logging was initiated by pressing the LOG button.
- Check the available memory on the device using the LogPro software.
- Ensure the logging interval is set appropriately in the software.
