Features • Stand-alone, high accuracy, remote multichannel data loggers - USB-5104 logs data from up to four thermocouple channels - USB-5106 logs data from up to four analog channels • High-accuracy, four-channel Built-in LCD screen displays readings and other device information • Software-selectable logger alarm indicates high or low readings • Logger control buttons for manual control of logging, display options, and event generation • Powered by two AAA batteries (included) • Includes accessory kit for logger mounting • Compatible sensors sold separately Software • Easy-to-use USB-5100 Series software available as a free download • Configure loggers and read out, display, analyze, and export logger data. Supported Operating Systems • PC: Windows® 10/8/8.1/7 (32- and 64-bit) • Mac®: OS X version 10.9.x and later (32- and 64-bit) • Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 or later required on both Windows and Mac platforms USB-5100 Series data loggers offer low-cost, stand-alone collection from multiple data channels. The USB-5106 (shown above) logs temperature, current, and/or voltage from each of its four analog channels. Overview The USB-5100 Series consists of two high-accuracy, easy-to-deploy data loggers designed for indoor applications. • The USB-5104 is a four-channel thermocouple (TC) data logger that is ideal for various temperature measurement and recording applications. The logger supports any combination of standard-type TC sensors (sold separately) on its four, 20-bit channels. It also includes an internal 12-bit, 10K thermistor to record ambient temperature for further applications. • The USB-5106 is a 16-bit four-channel analog logger for developing performance monitoring systems that involve voltage, temperature, and/or current measurements. USB-5100 Series software provides a user-friendly interface for configuring loggers and reading out, displaying, analyzing, and exporting logged data. Measurement Computing

Sensor Input All USB-5100 Series loggers support software-selectable burst logging, enabling the logger to record data at a different intervals based on user-specified conditions Users can easily configure logger logging intervals (one second to over 18 hours), high/low alarms for each type of data being logged using the USB-5100 Series Data Logger software. The built-in LCD screen displays the sensor reading, logging status, battery use, and memory consumption in between readouts. USB-5104 The USB-5104 provides four high-accuracy TC input channels that support J, K, T, E, R, S, B, or N...

LCD Screen (cont’d) The LCD screen on USB-5100 Series data loggers displays information on readings, alarms, statistics, memory, and battery power. USB-5100 Series Software Logging Interval The USB-5100 Series software provides both preset and custom logging intervals that range from 1 second to over 18 hours (18 hours, 12 minutes, and 15 seconds maximum) depending on your data collection needs. The logger stores the data and users can upload it to a computer through USB when collection is complete. Logging Modes and Filters The following logging modes can be configured using the USB-5100...

Alarm Reset Condition Start Logging Modes The following start logging modes can be configured using the USB-5100 Series software: • Now: Logging begins by clicking Start in the Launch Logger software window. • At Interval: Logging begins at an exact interval (for example 9:00:00 rather than 8:47:00 when you choose a one-hour logging interval). The exact start time depends on the selected logging interval you choose. • On Date/Time: Logging begin at a selected date and time, up to approximately six months from the present. The LCD screen counts down to the start date/time and then logging...

USB-5100 Series Software Information Reading Out and Plotting Data After configuring a logger and logging data, users can stop the logger, save the data to file, and plot the data. Details Pane – Shows device information, deployment information, and statistics for each series and event displayed in the plot. The USB-5100 Series software interface provides the following visual components when plotting logged data: Users can also use a context menu on the Details pane to show and hide a series on the plot and in the Points table. Points Table – Chronologically lists data points (values) and...

Exporting Data The data plotted and displayed in the Points Table can be exported to a .csv, .txt, or Microsoft Excel (.xls) file. Information in the Details Pane can be exported to a .txt file. Saving to a Project File Logged data along with any customized display and analysis settings can be saved to a custom project file. Customizations made when the file was saved will display when you open the project. Specifications All specifications are subject to change without notice. Typical for 25 °C unless otherwise specified. All USB-5100 Series Devices These specifications apply to all...

These specifications apply only to the USB-5106 temperature sensor. The CABLE-4-20MA connects a 4-20 mA output to a USB-5106. This sensor is attached to a 47 cm (18.5 in.) cable and can be plugged directly into the external input jacks of the USB-5106. Connected to Air/Water/Soil Temp Sensor (TMC6-HD) The TMC6-HD measures temperature in air, water, or soil, and is attached to a 1.8 m (6 ft.) cable. This sensor can be plugged directly into the external input jacks of the USB-5106. This sensor must be connected so that the current flows through, and with the proper polarity, as shown below....
