Possibility of exposure to chemicals or chemical vapors
This is dependent on the data logger you are using and the chemical and/or concentration of the chemical to which the data logger is exposed. Many chemicals will have an adverse effect on the data loggers and/or the sensors that the loggers utilize. Contact your authorized sales representative with questions regarding specific chemical contact with the data logger that you are using.

Logger power failure and data loss
The data is stored on non-volatile EEPROM. For data loggers with external batteries: change batteries and offload data, then relaunch normally. For data loggers with internal batteries: as long as the EEPROM has not been damaged, the data can be retrieved by Onset. Please contact the place of purchase for a return authorization number and request data back service.

How often do temperature data loggers need recalibration and/or servicing?
All sensors drift over time and they can be tested in a controlled environment to make sure that they are running within the specifications outlined in the User's Manual. You can use methods such as a simple ice bath or an environmental chamber to verify your device is operating correctly.

Creating a voltage divider
A voltage divider will drop the voltage of the input signal to the level the data logger can measure.

Data logger is shutting off prematurely
A discharge of static electricity may cause a running data logger to stop recording. Precautions should be taken to prevent this while handling the data logger.
Discharges may occur when there is a charge difference between the data logger and a cable being connected to it or when a person touches an exposed jack.

Connecting a 4-20mA to an external input
The 4-20mA cable (CABLE-4-20mA) measures currents from 0 to 20.1mA. The cable must be connected such that the current flows through, and with the proper polarity, as shown in the diagram. (Do not expose to current above 20mA or negative current.) Do not cut off the end of the gray cable where it connects to the blue and yellow wires, as this contains the precision resistor required for current measurements.
