  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction Thank you for purchasing the SK-L200II Series Dataloggers. ・   This product is designed to measure temperature or temperature/humidity. Do not use it for other purposes. ・   Read this manual thoroughly before using. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference whenever necessary.

  • Page 4: Safety Precautions

    Safety Precautions To use the Datalogger safely, follow the precautions below. ・ Never disassemble or modify the unit. Doing so may cause a malfunction. ・   The unit is precision-machined. Never drop the unit or knock it over. ・   Do not use the unit in a place exposed to direct sunlight or near a heat source.
  • Page 5 ・   Do not modify, forcibly pull, bend or tie the sensor cord. Placing heavy objects on the sensor cord or heating it will also damage the cord. ・   Do not wash or wipe this unit with alcohol, thinner, or other organic solvents.

  • Page 6: Overview

    Overview Datalogger is a device that logs data of temperature and/or humidity and stores this data in its memory so that you can manage or analysis it on a computer. Features   Storage of up to 8100 lines of data. ( → P.49) ●...
  • Page 7 3. Ends at… (limited amount) The Datalogger only collects a certain amount of data (up to 8100 lines) as specified by the user. This setting is ideal when you want to limit the amount of data to be collected. 4. By pages (partitioning) The Datalogger performs four different logging tasks in sequence by storing each task's data in the four divided memory blocks.
  • Page 8   Displays the approximate amount of memory currently used.   ● ( → P.52) Easy to determine how much more logging is possible.   Probes can be interchangeablely used.   ● The probes are fully compatible among the series models so that, in case of probe failure, it is easy to replace by interchanging with another probe.
  • Page 9   Easy to use software program for data analysis   ● The logged data can be fully utilized by plotting in graphs and displaying in real time. Data can also be saved in CSV format and analyzed by commercial spreadsheet software. −7−...
