GENERAL DESCRIPTION

HI 143 is a temperature data logger with internal NTC

sensor. The user interacts with the logger, programming the

device or downloading logged data, through a serial or USB

port on a PC. The Windows®compatible application software

supports the communication between the logger and the PC

through a transmitter (HI 143001 with RS232 or HI 143002

with USB connector).

The main features of the HI 143 thermologger include:

• Logging start through PC, button pressed or at set time

• Selectable sampling interval, from 1 minute to 24 hours

• Up to 4000 logged samples

• Selectable measure unit, °C or °F

• Min/max measured values are stored and displayed

• Programmable high and low alarms

• Non-volatile storage of logging parameters and data

• Battery level indicator on display

• Security password

• IP 65 protection

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Each time the battery is installed,

the logger enters in reset status

and displays the “PC” message.

Then it starts calculate the remain-

ing battery life and displays the

level through a 4-tag indicator.

When the last tag (empty battery) starts blinking,

the battery level is below 5%. It is recommended

to change the battery with a new one.

Battery replacement must only take place in a safe area and

using the appropriate battery type (CR2032 3V lithium battery).

Note: It is recommended to use a new battery for replace-

ment, otherwise the battery level indication could be

not reliable.

When the battery needs to be replaced, open the battery

compartment cover on the rear of the logger using a small coin.

Turn counter-clockwise to open.

Insert the new battery with the

+ sign facing up, tight back the

compartment cover and program

the instrument.

Note: Dispose of the lithium (Li) battery according to local

regulations.

DATA TRANSFER TO PC

To download logged data, remove the logger from its instal-

lation and place it on HI 143001 or HI 143002 communication

cradle connected to an RS232 or USB port of your PC.

The memory content can then be downloaded from the

instrument to the PC using the Windows®compatible applica-

tion software offered by Hanna Instruments.

This software allows you to use the powerful capabilities of

most spread sheet programs (e.g. Excel©, Lotus 1-2-3©) and

to make any elaboration available (e.g. graphics, statistic

analysis, etc.).

The user-friendly on-line help and clear messages will support

you throughout any situation.

During the data transfer the yellow LED on the cradle blinks

to indicate that the communication is active. Do not remove

the logger while the LED is blinking.

TECHNICAL SERVICE

This instrument has been accurately pre-calibrated at the

factory; anyway, it is generally recommended to have all

thermometers recalibrated at least once a year.

For an accurate recalibration, contact the nearest Hanna

Customer Service Center.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE

INITIAL OPERATION

The logger is supplied complete with a CR2032 lithium

battery. Open the battery comparment cover on the rear of

the logger (see “Battery Replacement” section for details),

insert the battery with the + sign facing up and tight back

the compartment cover.

The display will show the “PC” message

to indicate that the logger needs to be

programmed through a PC.

STARTUP

In order to communicate with the logger, the application

software must be installed on your PC.

Connect the HI 143001 or HI 143002 communication cradle

to your computer through an available RS232 or USB port,

and place the HI 143 on the cradle.

Run the application software. The yellow LED on the cradle

blinks to indicate that the communication is active. Do not

remove the logger while the LED is blinking.

The following operating parameters can be set:

• Measure unit: °C or °F

• Starting type: PC, button or at time (hh:mm:ss)

• Logging type: wrap-around, until memory is full (4000

samples) or number of samples (max 4000)

• Logging interval: from 1 minute to 24 hours (10 sec. steps)

• High and Low alarm thresholds

• Protection password

Click on the “PROGRAM” key to program the logger with the

selected options.

If the starting type was set to “PC”, then the “START” key will

become active. Click to start.

If the starting type was set to “button”, then the logger

display will indicate that the logger button has to be pressed

to start logging. Keep the button pressed for about 3 seconds.

If the starting type was set to “at time”, then the logger will

automatically start logging at the programmed time.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS

Pressing the logger button will give different outputs depend-

ing on the logger status.

• If the logger is in “WAIT TO LOG” condition, then pressing

the button will cycle through current measurement, high

and low alarm thresholds.

• If the logger is in “LOG” or “LOG DONE” condition, then

pressing the button will cycle through current measure-

ment, maximum and minimum recorded values.

If you keep the button pressed, after 2 seconds the display

will show alternatively (toggle every 2 seconds) the high

and low alarm thresholds.

Notes:

• If an alarm threshold has not been

set, then the logger will display the

“diS” (disabled) message.

• If an alarm condition has been occurred during logging,

then in the “LOG” or “LOG DONE” status the correspond-

ing alarm indication (ALARM HI or ALARM LO) will blink.

WALL INSTALLATION

The logger is supplied complete with wall cradle and lock

(mounting materials as screws and dowels are not included).

Position the wall cradle at the desired

location and fix it to the wall with

proper screws.

Insert the logger into the cradle and secure it with the

supplied lock.
