PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 141 series of temperature data loggers are provided with
either one or two channels, and an optional LCD. The user
interacts with the logger, setting data acquisition parameters
or downloading logged data, through a RS232 serial port on
a Windows
® PC. The HI 141000 Windows ® application soft-
ware supports the communication between the logger and the
PC through the HI 141001 Infrared Transmitter.
Several models are available, as shown in the following table:
The main features of the HI 141 thermologgers include:
• One or two channels, with internal or external sensor;
• 16000 samples (for 1 channel models) or
8000 samples/channel (for 2 channels models);
• Logging interval from 1 second to 24 hours;
• Storing of temperature at logging interval, or min or
max temperature between logging intervals;
• Logging delay start up to 199 hours, and magnetic start
through magnetic key provided with the thermologger;
• Programmable high and low alarms;
• Non-volatile storage of logging parameters and data in
EEPROM;
• BEPS (Battery Error Prevention System);
• Security Password and lot serial number;
• Optional LCD with status, temperature and information
display;
• IP67 waterproof casing.
The expected life is about 4 years at 1 minute measuring and
logging intervals.
All HI 141 thermologgers are factory calibrated.
The optional LCD is divided into 3 areas: the status on the top,
the temperature readout in the middle, and useful information
at the bottom.
The information shown on the bottom is user-selectable, and
can include the current number of samples, the samples
beyond alarm limits, the min and max temperature, and the
high and low alarm thresholds.
