Key Features

• Wide Temperature Range: Accurately measures temperatures from -30 °C to +60 °C, covering most environmental and process conditions.
• High Accuracy: ±0.5 °C accuracy ensures reliable data for critical applications.
• Digital Display: Clear, backlit LCD screen displays current temperature and logged values.
• CR2032 Battery Powered: Long‑lasting battery life allows continuous operation without frequent replacements.
• Memory Capacity: Stores up to 10,000 data points, enabling long‑term monitoring with minimal intervention.
• Data Retrieval: Simple interface for downloading logged data via USB or serial connection.
• Compact Design: Small footprint (approx. 70 mm × 50 mm) facilitates placement in tight spaces such as refrigerators, freezers, and cabinets.

Technical Specifications

Applications

The versatility of the Log 10 Temperature Data Logger makes it suitable for a wide range of scenarios:

• Refrigeration & Freezing: Monitor food storage units, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
• Laboratory Experiments: Record temperature profiles during chemical reactions or biological assays.
• Industrial Process Control: Track ambient conditions in manufacturing lines to maintain product quality.
• Environmental Monitoring: Deploy in remote locations for long‑term climate data collection.
• Quality Assurance: Verify temperature stability during shipping and handling of sensitive goods.

User Interface & Operation

The device features a straightforward menu system accessed via two buttons: Menu and Select/Enter. Users can navigate through settings such as:

• Sampling Interval: Choose from predefined options (e.g., 1 s, 10 s, 30 s, 60 s, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h).
• Display Mode: Toggle between current temperature and logged data view.
• Data Reset: Clear memory to start a new logging session.
• Time Synchronization: Set internal clock for timestamp accuracy (if supported).

Data Retrieval & Analysis

After completing a logging period, connect the logger to a computer using the supplied USB cable. The device appears as a removable drive or serial port. Transfer the data file (typically in CSV format) and open it with spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or specialized analysis tools.

• CSV Structure: Timestamp, Temperature (°C), Sample Number.
• Graphing: Plot temperature versus time to visualize trends and detect anomalies.
• Export Options: Save processed data in PDF or image formats for reporting purposes.

• Battery Replacement: When the CR2032 battery is depleted, replace it with a fresh coin cell. Ensure polarity is correct to avoid damage.
• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth. Avoid liquids that could seep into the enclosure.
• Storage Conditions: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve battery life and sensor integrity.

What is the maximum sampling frequency?

The logger can sample as frequently as every second, but for extended logging sessions a longer interval conserves memory and battery life.

Can I set custom temperature thresholds?

While the device does not provide alarm outputs, you can monitor logged data to identify threshold breaches during analysis.

Is the logger waterproof?

The enclosure offers IP54 protection, meaning it is dust‑protected and resistant to splashes. It should not be submerged.

How do I calibrate the sensor?

Calibration can be performed by comparing logged values against a calibrated reference thermometer in a controlled environment. Adjustments are made via the device’s calibration menu if available.

The Log 10 Temperature Data Logger combines precision, reliability, and ease of use into a single compact unit. Its extensive temperature range, high accuracy, and generous memory capacity make it an indispensable tool for professionals who demand accurate temperature monitoring across diverse environments.
