Step 6 of 23

The data logger key goes in the switch at the top corner of the unit.

Step 7 of 23

Turn clockwise to turn on the unit.
This will show by the green light turning on and the digital displays booting up.

Step 8 of 23
You see the green light comes on and then you'll get these panels coming up live.

Step 9 of 23

You'll see that it's a 24 volt DC circuit so you'll see the display read between 23.8V and 24.2V.

Step 10 of 23

The temperature probe has a 4 pin plug with a locking collar on it.

11
Step 11 of 23

The 4 pin plug has a guide channel on it, to show the orientation of the plug in the socket.

12
Step 12 of 23
Here this is the channel 6, the one programmed for the PT100 temperature probe.
13
Step 13 of 23

Once in, tighten the collar but don't over tighten.

14
Step 14 of 23
Once that has been plugged in you can then activate the channel using the on/off switch here.

Step 15 of 23

That switches to on. You'll notice channel 6 will live up here.

16
Step 16 of 23

This recording instrument measures at one second intervals. 

Wait for a minute or two for the reading to stabilise.

17
Step 17 of 23
Once finished you can turn the channel off.

Undo the collar, and remove the probe plug.

Step 19 of 23

Now we can turn it off using the key. Once out, wait until all of the panels are black.

20
Step 20 of 23

That shows the system's de-energized. Remove the key and place it in the compartment at the bottom right of the case with the USB.

21
Step 21 of 23

Once done, you can load the extension lead back in along with the temperature probe.

Note: don't need to zip the probe bag. it will just make it hard to close.

22
Step 22 of 23
Make sure it's closed and latched properly. Pack the power cord up with it.

Step 23 of 23

That is how to use the Geocert Datalogger with the PT100 temperature probe.
