Operating Temperature Data Loggers:

Placement:

  • Choose the Right Location: Place GAO Tek’s data logger in a representative location that accurately reflects the temperature conditions you want to monitor.
  • Avoid Obstructions: Ensure that the data logger is not obstructed by objects that may affect its temperature readings.

Configuration:

  • Set Parameters: Configure the data logger to record temperature at the desired intervals.
  • Start Logging: Activate the data logger according to GAO Tek’s instructions.

Data Retrieval:

  • Retrieve Data Periodically: Depending on the monitoring duration, retrieve data regularly.
  • Download Data: Use GAO Tek’s software or connect the data logger to a computer to download recorded temperature data.

 

Maintaining the Temperature Data Loggers:

Battery Maintenance:

  • Check Battery Status: Regularly check the battery status to ensure it is not depleted.
  • Replace Batteries: Replace batteries according to the GAO Tek’s recommendations.

Physical Inspection:

  • Inspect Housing: Ensure the data logger housing is intact and not damaged.
  • Clean if Necessary: Clean the data logger if exposed to contaminants but follow our guidelines for cleaning.

Software Updates:

  • Check for Updates: Periodically check for software updates from us.
  • Update if Required: Update the data logger’s firmware or software as recommended by us.

 

Calibrating Temperature Data Loggers:

Frequency:

  • Understand Calibration Schedule: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on calibration frequency.
  • Initial Calibration: Calibrate a new data logger or after a significant event that might affect its accuracy.

Calibration Process:

  • Temperature Calibration Bath: Use a temperature calibration bath with known and stable temperatures.
  • Stabilization Time: Allow the data logger and calibration bath to stabilize before calibration.

Comparison:

  • Record Measurements: Record the measurements from the data logger and the calibration bath.
  • Adjust if Necessary: If there is a deviation, adjust the data logger’s calibration settings if applicable.

Documentation:

  • Maintain Calibration Records: Keep detailed records of calibration dates, results, and any adjustments made.
  • Compliance: Ensure that the calibration process complies with industry and regulatory standards.
