Supported Applications

The Omega OM-EL-USB-1 Series consists of portable temperature data loggers designed to measure and store up to 16,382 temperature readings. The series is configured for use with Windows 98, 2000, or XP operating systems via a purpose-designed software application that allows users to set logging rates, start times, graph results, print reports, and export data.

Documented applications include general temperature monitoring where the unit can be plugged directly into a PC's USB port for setup and data download. The series is not designed for use in human applications.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The OM-EL-USB-1 model operates within a measurement range of -25 to +80°C (-13 to 176°F). Overall accuracy (error) is specified as ±1 (±2) °C (°F), with an internal resolution of 0.5 (1) °C (°F).

Logging rates are configurable from every 10 seconds up to every 12 hours. The unit is powered by a 1/2AA 3.6V Lithium Battery, which provides at least one year of life when operating at a logging rate of once per minute and an ambient temperature of 25°C.

Physical dimensions for the OM-EL-USB-1 are 98.0 mm (3.86 in) x 26.0 mm (1.02 in). The data logger is protected against moisture to IP 67 standard when the protective cap is fitted. Correct functioning of the unit is indicated by flashing red, green, and orange LEDs.

Key Performance Specifications

  • Measurement Range: -25 (-13) to +80 (176) °C (°F)
  • Accuracy (Overall Error): ±1 (±2) °C (°F)
  • Internal Resolution: 0.5 (1) °C (°F)
  • Logging Rate Range: Every 10s to every 12hr
  • Battery Life: Minimum 1 year @ 25°C and 1m logging rate
  • Enclosure Rating: IP 67 (with protective cap fitted)

Configuration Options

The series includes multiple model variants identified by the following stock numbers: OM-EL-USB-1, OM-EL-USB-2, OM-EL-USB-2-PLUS, OM-EL-USB-3, and OM-EL-USB-4. While detailed specifications for all models are not provided in this bundle, the series supports USB interface connectivity for setup and data download.

Standard configurations include a long-life lithium battery supplied with the unit. Replacement batteries are available under model number OM-EL-BATT; these must be used as they are 'press fit' without solder tags. The stored readings do not lose their data when the battery is flat or replaced, though logging stops until the battery is reinstalled and data downloaded.

Available Options

  • Replacement Battery: OM-EL-BATT (Omega model only)
  • Software Interface: Purpose-designed software for Windows 98, 2000, or XP included on CD with the standard data logger.

Key Product Differences

The bundle identifies five distinct variants within the OM-EL-USB-1-Series family: OM-EL-USB-1, OM-EL-USB-2, OM-EL-USB-2-PLUS, OM-EL-USB-3, and OM-EL-USB-4. The provided documentation details specifications specifically for the OM-EL-USB-1 model.

Specific technical differences between these variants—such as measurement ranges, accuracy classes, or memory capacities—are not detailed in the available source documents beyond their distinct part numbers. Users should consult specific datasheets for models other than OM-EL-USB-1 to confirm variant-specific capabilities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cool Product. Very easy to set up. I was able to follow the instructions and have the loggers ready to go very quickly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Excellent value, does what was advertised Easy to use logger, software provided on a CD. Pros very easy to use program, small unit, Omega's service is excellent Cons, the usb cover on one unit split just from putting it on, but I think it's more for looks than protection. If you don't have a CD drive that could be a problem. The logger must be restarted every time you read it so you can't get short term readings out of it and have a long log at the same time. Not a pro or con, the program allows you to set the logging frequency to times as short as 10 seconds. I almost can't imagine the sensor being able to register an air temperature change though it's case, in that short time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great results with zero setup Have been collecting battery discharge data every 5-minutes for two weeks with no problems, no setup and great graphical results.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor Battery - Doesn't work in Freezer The battery died within 48 hours of being in a -20 freezer. The device is advertised to work down to -35C. Not as described at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A fine addition to a Quality Engineer's toolbox I needed a data logger to better understand the ambient conditions of in-process product, final product in storage and final product in transit to our customers. The OM-EL-USB fit the need perfectly. And software is simple, effective and free. Overall, an outstanding product. Thank you Omega.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Sensor/logger Package Simple and easy to use software, but provides enough flexibility to allow for delay deployment, and high/low alarms. I have the temp and humidity version. Two currently installed in an outdoors environment, but semi-protected from direct rain and sunlight. Time will tell how they will hold up, but not really designed for using outdoors. So far, very happy.

I have an om-el-usb 1lcd. I have download the software but am unable to get the software to find the usb stick. i't won't install the usb driver

Asked by: Real Brasil
Thank you for your question. A low battery under 3.6 volts is a possible connection problem and driver install is being prevented by PC security/firewall. If problem still persists please e-mail DAS Engr-DAS@OMEGA.COM

How often do these need to be calibrated and how much is it to calibrate them?

Asked by: Jenni
Calibration is not economically feasible. If units read out of tolerance than it is best to trade-in for new and get a 20% discount. Thank you.

Can this be used in a water bath or sanitation parts washer?

Asked by: Curious 1
Thank you for your question. The logger is not designed to be submerged in any type of fluid. It is designed for ambient temperature.
