Masterlink Hardware Module, insert the plug with the black marker, into the
top left hand corner of the Masterlink Module.
2 The other end of the Data Download cable is inserted into the Shielded
Eight-Way Socket of the Thermomax Datalogging unit.

connected, and will transfer this information to the PC when the module is
connected to a PC using the Thermomax Masterlink Software.
5 The duration of the transfer is proportional to the amount of data which
had been stored to the datalogger’s internal databank. When the data
transfer is complete the datalogger will display a message “TRANSFER
COMPLETE”, “PRESS ANY KEY”. The data has now been transferred.
