Maintaining accurate records of temperature measurements is vital for a wide range of industries. The EL-USB-1 Temperature Data Logger is a go-to, and versatile option for temperature data logging that can track up to 16,382 different temperature measurements, as well as record and store temperature readings between -35 and +80 C.
The device is perfect for measuring and tracking temperature in fridges and freezers, for transporting temperature-sensitive goods, preserving pharmaceuticals and vaccines, recording ambient temperatures and for many more applications.
A common question Instrument Choice scientists receive is, “How do I change the battery in this temperature data logger.” If this concerns you too, check out this short video – it has all your answers!
Figure 1 Watch an Instrument Choice scientist demonstrate how to change a battery in the EL-USB-1 Temperature Data Logger here.
How to change the battery in the EL-USB-1 Temperature Data Logger
You will need;
- EL-USB-1 Temperature Data Logger
- ER14250BH Battery for Lascar Data Loggers
- A pen or small screwdriver
To change the battery;
- (0:22) Remove the clear cap over the USB.
- (0:25) Locate the silver tab. The tab is near the two LED lights.
