The specs say it's a non-replaceable battery. Is it rechargeable? If so, does it come with a charger?
The logger does not have a rechargeable battery. The battery in the logger is rated at 2-3 years under normal use. Once the battery dies you must replace the logger.
Does it convert to Fahrenheit??
Yes, you can choose what temperature scale you want to view the data in while setting up the logger in the software.
How do you determine the calibration point temperature? We would be using these to monitor temperature in a bat house in coastal california. The temp ranges from about 35F to 95F, but it's mostly in the 50's - 70's year round.
Great question! We get asked this quite often. The calibration point is simply the temperature at which we validate (or test) the accuracy of the logger. One common misconception is that the calibration is required or else the logger...
Is there some kind of alert to when the battery is getting low. I wouldn't want it to die and loose all my logged temps.
There is no battery alarm while the logger is in use however if you attempt to launch the logger and there is less than 20% battery life remaining the software will warn you to replace the logger.
How many probes does it have ? Can I measure 40 temperature points simultaneously and save it ?
This logger has a single internal temperature sensor. It does not have nor is able to accept external probes. LogTag does make a logger called the TREX-8 which uses a single external probe.
Will downloading everyday effect battery life? Also, I want to hang the recorder in back of
truck -trailer in plastic sleeve is this OK for this type of recorder ?
The frequency at which you download the data at will affect the battery life of the logger. It's tough to say by how much exactly as there are many other variables that affect the battery life of the logger. Generally speaking we find that...
Can it be used outdoors?
This logger is designed to be used indoors only. If you use it outdoors you will need to protect it so that it is not exposed to condensing moisture.
What is the accuracy of the clock on the Trix-8 and the Trix-16?
The clock accuracy on the TRIX-8 & TRIX-16 is ±25ppm @ 25°C (equivalent to 2.5 seconds/day).
Can the data logger be switched off then reused at another time days / weeks / months later in the 2 -3 year period
Yes, the logger can be stopped and then reused at another time as long as the battery life is sufficient. If you know you won't be using it for a while you can put the logger in hibernation mode. This will greatly reduce the power drain on...
Is the device capable of sending remote alarms?
No. The TRIX-8 does have an alarm function but it is only a visual alarm indicator on the logger itself. The software will also note any alarms that happened in the data but there is no remote notification function available with this product...
Will it download to a Apple product?
No, the LogTag software is only compatible with Windows. If you would like a logger to use on Mac OS I would suggest you look at temperature loggers from Onset or Senonics, both of which offer versions of their software for Mac OS.
Hello
Will it work with foil 120 ohm strain gages?
While it might work the resolution probably won't be tight enough for you to get any useful data from it.
For strain gauges we would recommend the Versalog BR logger as it is designed for that application.

Is the software compatible with Windows 10?
Yes, it will work with Windows10
Are any of the energy data loggers NIST certified.
The Accuenergy meters come with a certificate documenting the factory tests performed however it is not a NIST Traceable certificate.
Can I use the Accu Energy cloud service over WiFi? Is this available in the base package or do I need to buy a communication module (eg the ethernet module).
In order to have the meter send data to the cloud service you will need to purchase the meter with either the AMX-WEB-PUSH or AMX-WIFI modules.
They do not come standard with either of these options. You can still utilize the cloud service with...
