SmartReader 8 Eight-Channel Temperature Logger
The SmartReader 8 is a versatile logger for recording temperatures in a wide range of
environmental and industrial applications. It can record up to eight temperature channels
simultaneously.
Figure 8-1: SmartReader 8
1.10.1 Description
The SmartReader 8 has seven external temperature channels (for remote temperature
probes) and one internal thermistor sensor.
1.10.2 Setup and Use
The following procedure will help you prepare your SmartReader 8 for your temperature
monitoring applications.
1. Setup and activate the channels you intend to monitor using TrendReader software.
Disable any channels you are not going to use to conserve memory.
2. If you are using external channels, make sure to use thermistor sensors appropriate for
the measurements you want to take (for assistance, please refer to Appendix C
Thermistor Temperature Probes). Also, confirm that the equation number you are using
for each of your probes is correct.
3. To connect remote temperature probes (two-wire), simply wire one lead into a channel
input (labeled 1 to 7) and the other into a terminal marked Common. It does not matter
which lead goes to which terminal. You can connect more than one thermistor probe to
the same Common terminal. For example, Figure 8-2 shows two external probes
connected to channels 2 and 3 sharing the same Common terminal. If you are using a
thermistor probe with shielded cable, terminate the shield wire by connecting it to any
Common terminal.
