• High contrast LCD, with two and a half digit temperature display function

This standalone data logger measures and stores up to 16,378 temperature readings over a -35 to +80°C (-31 to +176°F) range. The user can easily set up the logging rate and start-time, and download the stored data by plugging the data logger into a PC’s USB port and running the purpose designed software under Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7. Data can then be graphed, printed and exported to other applications. The high contrast LCD can show a variety of temperature information. At the touch of a button, the user can cycle between the current, maximum and minimum stored temperatures. The data logger is supplied complete with a long-life lithium battery, which can typically allow logging for up to 1 year. The data logger is protected against moisture to IP67 standard when the protective cap is fitted.

Lascar’s EasyLog USB control software is supplied free of charge with each data logger. Easy to install and use, the control software runs under Windows 2000, XP, Vista & 7. The software is used to set-up the data logger as well as download, graph and export data to Excel. EL-WIN-USB (CONTROL SOFTWARE) The software allows the following parameters to be configured:

• Logger name
• °C, °F
• Logging rate (10s, 1m, 5m, 30m, 1hr, 6hr, 12hr)
• High and low alarms
• Immediate, delayed and push-to-start logging
• Display off, on for 30 seconds after button press,
• or permanently on
• Data rollover (allows unlimited logging periods by
• overwriting the oldest data when the memory is full)

The EL-USB-1-LCD features a high contrast LCD and two LEDs. The LCD shows logged temperature values and can also show information regarding the logging status.

The LCD shows three different recorded readings, which can be cycled through using the built-in push button. The most recent logged temperature, maximum logged temperature and minimum logged temperature can be displayed. In addition, logging and alarm status is shown using two high intensity LEDs.

EL-USB-1-LCD features two LEDs that indicate the logging, battery and alarm status:

• The first LED flashes red (R) to indicate that the EL-USB-1-LCD is in an alarm condition. It will flash when the logged temperature has exceeded a Low or High alarm level.
• The second LED flashes green (G) to indicate that the EL-USB-1-LCD is not in an alarm condition.

Hold is enabled by default, which forces the logger to continue flashing the red LED after an alarm, even when the temperature has returned to normal. This feature ensures that the user is notified that an alarm level has been exceeded, without the need to download the data from the logger.

Hold can be turned off via the control software. The red LED will then only flash whilst the logger is in an alarm condition. When the temperature returns to normal, the green LED will flash.

We recommend that you replace the battery every 12 months, or prior to logging critical data.

The EL-USB-1-LCD does not lose its stored readings when the battery is discharged or when the battery is replaced; however, the data logging process will be stopped and cannot be restarted until the battery has been replaced and the logged data has been downloaded to a PC. Only use 3.6V 1/2AA lithium batteries. Check with your supplier that the battery you are ordering is ‘press fit’ and is not fitted with solder tags. Before replacing the battery, remove the EL-USB-1-LCD from the PC.
